• Q: How to Properly Service and Repair a Camshaft Position Sensor for Rear on 2009 Jeep Compass?

  A: When fixing or replacing the rear camshaft position sensor, lubricate the sensor o-ring first. While installing the sensor, provide a slow twist to set it securely, but do not drive in the screw or you may break the sensor. After that, fit the mounting bolt and tighten it up to 9 Nm (79.5 in. lbs.). Connect the electrical connector to the camshaft position sensor properly, so you feel a lock; mounting the sensor at a wrong angle may bend its pins. The heat shield goes onto the mounting stud and is then secured with the retaining nut. After that, hook up the negative battery cable.
