How to access and replace the CMP sensor on Saturn Vue?

This procedure applies to V6 models only. For 2002 and 2003 (3.0L) V6 models, the CMP sensor is located at the right (drivebelt) end of the front cylinder head. Begin by disconnecting the CMP sensor electrical connector, then disconnect the knock sensor wiring to access the CMP sensor mounting bolt. Remove the mounting bolt and CMP sensor, and installation is the reverse of removal. For 2004 and later (3.5L) V6 models, the CMP sensor is also located at the right (drivebelt) end of the front cylinder head, but behind the timing belt rear cover. Start by removing the timing belt and the front camshaft sprocket. Disconnect the CMP wiring harness, then remove the sprocket rear cover and its lower seal. To disconnect the electrical connector from the CMP sensor, depress the release tab and pull off the connector. Detach the rear timing bell cover by removing two bolts, then remove the CMP sensor from the cover by taking out the mounting bolt. Installation is the reverse of removal.

Saturn Vue Camshaft Position Sensor

The camshaft position sensor in saturn vue automobiles is one of the critical parts of the vehicle as it tracks the position and velocity of the camshaft. This information is fed into the engine control module (ECM) that looks at the fuel injectors and the ignition periods in order to realize optimal functionality of the engine. Usually the Saturn Vue Camshaft Position Sensor is installed on the top section of the camshaft but this may not hold in all models. When combined with the help of the crank sensor, Camshaft Position Sensor is crucially important for the correct synchronization of engine functions especially in vehicles which are equipped with variable valve timing system. This is important as the fuel must be injected in synchrony with the events of the engine and so this calls for combined effort of both fuel injection equipment and the engine itself. It is significant that the condition of the Camshaft Position Sensor be kept in good state because if damaged, it can result to performance problems in the Saturn Vue.
