• Q: How to Properly Install a Rear Camshaft Position Sensor on 2008 Jeep Patriot?

  A: Lubrication of the rear camshaft position sensor is the first step in installation. After that, install the sensor by twisting it until it is secure, but don't use a screwdriver to fasten it, since this might push it wrongly inside and damage the engine. After that, put in and tighten the mounting bolt until it reaches 9 Nm (79.5 in. lbs.). Remember to connect the electrical connector to the position sensor only after you're sure it is correctly locked in place, because putting it in at an angle can damage the sensor pins. Following that, attach the heat shield to the mounting stud and hold it in place with the retaining nut. Thanks to the "+" on the battery, you know where the dotted side of the negative cable goes.
