Experienced mechanics share their insights in answering this question :
Facing the motor in the van you will find the sensor in the front of the rear of the cylinder head. That would be passenger side of the rear head. Mounted in the end of the head.

This means that replacing it might require some patience. “name”: “What Happens When A Camshaft Sensor Goes Bad”, Some cars come with four sensors(four-cylinder engine cars, V6 engine cars, and V8 engine cars) whereas other cars come with six sensors(e.g V12 engine cars).
Camshaft position sensor is also called cylinder identification sensor or phase detector. In consecutive fuel injection systems, ECU must determine which cylinder to fire next. This information is provided from the cylinder identification sensor.
While the number can vary based on the age of your car, a new car should have four camshaft sensors, one for each camshaft. A camshaft sensor determines the exact position of your engine`s camshaft, helping your car keep your engine`s combustion running smoothly.
A glowing check engine light, stalling, poor acceleration and bad fuel mileage are all possible signs your camshaft position sensor may be failing. Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car`s computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.

Honda Sensing® is a driver support system which employs the use of two distinctly different kinds of sensors, a radar sensor located in the lower bumper and a front sensor camera mounted to the interior side of the windshield, behind the rearview mirror.
Usually there will only be one crankshaft position sensor. However, there is also a camshaft position sensor as well.
The Camshaft Position Sensor detects the position of the camshaft, while the Crankshaft Position Sensor detects the position and speed of the crankshaft. Both sensors are vital to the proper functioning of the engine and should be regularly maintained and replaced if necessary.
The camshaft position sensor notes the rate at which the camshaft is spinning, and helps the car`s computer control things like fuel injection and engine timing. Note that the “B” means that this sensor is located in the exhaust side of the cylinder head.
The Camshaft Position Sensor monitors the rotating position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft position. This data is sent to the vehicle`s ECU, where it is used to adjust the spark timing and the operation of the fuel injectors. There are two types of Camshaft Sensors, Magnetic, and Hall-effect.
The original Gen III LS engines placed the cam sensor at the rear of the engine, while 2005 LS2 and later Gen IV engines moved the cam sensor to the front of the engine.
Yes and no. Some engines use the same sensor in either position, particularly Hall type sensors. Others use physically different sensors for cam and crank and may be inductive or Hall effect or combination of both.
The original Gen III LS engines placed the cam sensor at the rear of the engine, while 2005 LS2 and later Gen IV engines moved the cam sensor to the front of the engine.
The LS2 Cam Sensor is of a normal Hall Effect type. For Gen 4 engines it is located at the front of the engine in the timing cover.
On Gen I LS and Vortec engines, the cam sensor`s home is in the back of the block near the oil pressure port (red plug). The magnetic cam sensor gets its pulse info from the back of the camshaft.

I bought camshaft position sensor off of eBay and car is cutting off a lot. Still has check engine light for camshaft position sensor
ANSWER : Hello, thanks for writing in. From my experience with eBay sensors, chances are that it is bad. This happens all of the time with these sensors. A bad crank position sensor can also cause this as well as a failing timing chain. I usually install a computer scan tool to be able to see which codes are coming up and which readings look like they are off. If you would like help, consider having an expert automotive technician from YourMechanic come to your home or office to inspect and diagnose this issue for you, and make or suggest any repairs as needed.
Camshaft Position Sensor
ANSWER : Hello, thanks for writing in about your Dodge Challenger. From what you’ve described it sounds like you may have a different sensor than what the auto parts store has listed. If you go to the dealer you would be able to get the correct one. They use your VIN to get the correct parts. If you need assistance with finding the right sensor or installing it, consider YourMechanic, as a certified technician can come to your home and ensure a correct replacement of your camshaft position sensor.
CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON
ANSWER : The on board diagnostic (OBD) sets a pending code each time the ECU detects a problem. It confirms the code if it sees the same problem twice. So you’re really only dealing with the two codes : P0016 and 17.These codes are telling you that the timing between the crankshaft and the camshaft are off on Bank 1 (the driver’s side) cylinder bank. This could be a sensor error, a problem in the reluctor ring on the harmonic balancer, or a timing chain problem. Without doing a thorough diagnosis, it’s impossible to say what parts specifically need to be replaced. If you contact Your Mechanic, they can send a technician to your home or office to investigate the codes on you Mercedes and then let you know what it will take to fix it.

I have a 96 Ford ranger with cel p0340 I have recently done a timing belt, engine runs great replaced cmp sensor cel still on
ANSWER : Hi There,
This may happen for a couple of reasons. First, check to be sure that the connections to the sensor are clean and not faulty or broken. Secondly, check to be sure you replaced the correct sensor as there are two camshaft position sensors in some applications. If you need further help with this, please reach out to us here at YourMechanic as we are always here to help.

I need to find out the location of the Exhaust Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 1 on a 2008 Infiniti EX35.
ANSWER : Hello, thank you for writing in. The bank 1 camshaft position sensor is going to be located on the front of the engine. Most specifically it is going to be located right below the valve cover on the bank (or side of the engine) that includes cylinder 1. On your specific vehicle, this should be the side of the engine is on the driver’s side. Your owner;s manual will have more information on cylinders and firing orders. With that being said, the sensor will cause running issues and should be replaced first before turning your attention to any other potential problems.

How many camshaft position sensor are on my 2012 BMW 328I 2.0 turbo
ANSWER : There are two camshaft position sensors on your model. Both position sensors, as well as the crankshaft position sensor, should be tested using an appropriate scan tool or automotive scope to determine if they are functioning. Due to the availability of scan tools and other diagnostic techniques, it is almost never necessary to replace parts on a "trial and error" basis. Also, it is very costly and wasteful to proceed that way. The best thing to do is have the vehicle fault actually diagnosed (pinpointed) and then replace only those parts which are confirmed by testing to be faulty. In your circumstance, the best way to proceed is to request a check engine light diagnostic. A certified mechanic from YourMechanic would use a code scanner to retrieve the specific diagnostic trouble code(s) from your car’s PCM that have caused the check engine light to illuminate. Using those codes, the appropriate individual vehicle components or sub-systems (often a sensor, circuit, and the like) are then carefully tested, based on specifications set forth in your car’s Factory Service Manual, to pinpoint the cause of the fault or the reason why the check engine light has illuminated. Once the faulty part or component is identified, it is explained to your satisfaction and the mechanic will let you know of the cost to repair. If you have further questions or concerns, do not hesitate to re-contact YourMechanic as we are always here to help you.
Venza 2010 L4-2.7L: My check engine light is permanently turned On. I have these codes P0012, P0016, P0017. What needs to be fixe
ANSWER : These are fault codes indicating problems related to the timing of your car’s engine. Normally the car will not run very well or sometimes not at all when these are on. I would suggest having an expert from YourMechanic come to your home to diagnose these trouble codes and potentially reset them to see if they register again. There are also sensors related to the exhaust as well. There is what is called an oxygen sensor which relays information to the car’s computer regarding the content of the exhaust gases which then tells the computer how to adjust the air/fuel mixture.
