How to Remove and Install the Camshaft Position Sensor on the Right Cylinder Head on Dodge Ram 1500?

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP) is placed and mounted at the front/top of the engine's right cylinder head. Before removing the sensor, unplug the electrical connector at the CMP sensor and undo the screw holding the sensor. Twist the sensor from its mount on the cylinder head and look at the state of the sensor O-ring. Start with the machined hole on the cylinder head and carefully remove any debris. Then put a small film of engine oil inside the sensor O-ring. Rock and twist the sensor as you put it into the cylinder head so it is level with the cylinder head to prevent damage to the tang that holds the sensor. After that, insert the mounting bolt, tightening it to 12 N.m (106 in. lbs.) and attach the electric connector to the sensor.

Camshaft Position Sensor is an essential part of Dodge Ram 1500 cars, which is used to track the position and the speed of the camshaft. To achieve this, the information is relayed to the engine control module (ECM) used in controlling the fuel injector and ignition time. Usually the Dodge Ram 1500 Camshaft Position Sensor is positioned right above the camshaft though it may differ from model to model. In the Dodge Ram 1500, Camshaft Position Sensors of various styles have been used at one time or another, though they may have been mountable in different locations and connected to other sensors, for example, the crank sensor. This pairing is particularly important in models incorporating the so-called variable valve timing as this technology's efficiency depends on the synchronous operation of multiple engines. Bearing this in mind makes it important to ensure that the Camshaft Position Sensor is not damaged as this can severely hamper the performance of the Dodge Ram 1500.
