2. Remove the intake camshaft position actuator bolt.

3. Remove the right 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 exhaust camshaft position actuator.






Caution: 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 right intake camshaft actuator the edge of the reluctor wheel (1) lines up with the valley (2) of the sprocket tooth.






4. Ensure the proper timing mark is used. Observe the outer ring of the camshaft position actuator for the triangle marking (2).
The triangle marking is for alignment to the highlighted timing chain link on the right side of the engine.






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

Caution: Use the correct fastener in the correct location. Replacement fasteners must be the correct part number for that application. Do not use paints, lubricants, or corrosion inhibitors on fasteners, or fastener joint surfaces, unless specified. These coatings affect fastener torque and joint clamping force and may damage the fastener. Use the correct tightening sequence and specifications when installing fasteners in order to avoid damage to parts and systems. When using fasteners that are threaded directly into plastic, use extreme care not to strip the mating plastic part(s). Use hand tools only, and do not use any kind of impact or power tools. Fastener should be hand tightened, fully seated, and not stripped.

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