Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Replace

Remove

Bank 1

Note: The replacement procedure for the intake (1) and exhaust (2) camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoids are typically the same, with the following procedure being specific to the intake CMP actuator solenoid.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replace .
  3. Remove the engine mount support bracket. Refer to Engine Mount Assembly (RH Side) Replace .
  4. Disconnect the wiring harness connector (1) from the CMP actuator solenoid (2).

Note: Clean the area around the CMP actuator solenoid before removal to avoid debris from entering the engine.

  1. Remove the bolt (1) attaching the CMP actuator solenoid (2).

Note: When removing the CMP actuator solenoid, care must be taken to prevent the annular grooves of the actuator from damaging the CMP actuator solenoid seal (3).

  1. Remove the CMP actuator solenoid by first twisting the actuator to release it, and then pulling it away from the front engine cover to remove it.

Bank 2

Note: The replacement procedure for the intake (1) and exhaust (2) camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoids are typically the same, with the following procedure being specific to the intake CMP actuator solenoid. Where there are differences in the removal procedures, these will be highlighted.

  1. Disconnect the negative battery cable.
  2. Remove the air cleaner assembly. Refer to Air Cleaner Assembly Replace .
  3. Remove the engine mount support bracket. Refer to Engine Mount Assembly (RH Side) Replace .
  4. If removing the exhaust CMP actuator solenoid, remove the accessory drive belt. Refer to Accessory Drive Belt Replace .
  5. Disconnect the wiring harness connector (1) from the CMP actuator solenoid (2).

Note: Clean the area around the CMP actuator solenoid before removal to avoid debris from entering the engine.

  1. Remove the bolt (1) attaching the CMP actuator solenoid (2).

Important: When removing the CMP actuator solenoid, care must be taken to prevent the annular grooves of the actuator from damaging the CMP actuator solenoid seal (3).

Install

Bank 1

  1. Inspect the CMP actuator solenoid seal (1) for damage, and replace if necessary.
  2. Lubricate the lip of the CMP actuator solenoid seal with clean engine oil.

Important: When installing the CMP actuator solenoid, care must be taken to prevent the annular grooves (2) of the actuator from damaging the CMP actuator solenoid seal.

  1. Install the CMP actuator solenoid.

Tighten

Tighten the camshaft position actuator solenoid attaching bolt to 10 N•m (89 lb-in).
