2. Remove the intake camshaft position actuator bolt.

3. Remove the left intake camshaft position actuator.

Installation Procedure






1. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed. Observe the body of the camshaft position actuator for the IN marking (3). The marking is for an intake camshaft position actuator,






Notice: Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is installed in the correct position. Failure to install the proper camshaft position actuator can effect engine performance and set an engine code.

2. Ensure the proper camshaft position actuator is being installed. The reluctor wheel on the right intake camshaft position actuator (1) is indexed in a different position compared to the left intake camshaft position actuator (2).






3. On the left intake camshaft actuator the edge of the reluctor wheel (1) lines up with the peak (2) of the sprocket tooth.






4. Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the circle marking (1).
The circle marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the left side of the engine.

Notice: A wrench must be used on the hex of the camshaft when loosening or tightening in order to prevent component damage. Failure to prevent the torque reaction against the timing drive chain can lead to timing drive chain failure.

5. Use an open wrench on the hex cast into the camshaft in order to prevent camshaft rotation when tightening the camshaft position actuator bolt.






6. Locate the intake camshaft position actuator to the camshaft and loosely install the bolt.

Notice: A wrench must be used on the hex of the camshaft when loosening or tightening in order to prevent component damage. Failure to prevent the torque reaction against the timing drive chain can lead to timing drive chain failure.

Important: Use an open-end wrench at the camshaft hex to prevent camshaft/engine rotation.

7. Tighten the camshaft position actuator bolt. 110. Camshaft Position Actuator Installation - Left Side Exhaust
