2014 Chevy Impala / Camshaft Timing Position Sensor / 3.6L V6

- Опубліковано 27 сер 2024
- This video depicts the steps to replace a Camshaft Timing Position Sensor on the 3.6L V6 engine that comes in a variety of Chevy automobiles. This was performed on a 2014 Chevy Impala. The only tool required is a 10mm socket with a short extension. The part is available at most auto parts stores at a cost of between $20 - 40. There are two on each bank for a four total and all are identical. Be careful removing the wire plug as they are easily broken if not removed with care. Email me at jimrbell1@aol.com or through UA-cam with questions or suggestions for improvement. I hope this helps some of you as I did not find an exact video for this engine. Good luck!
Bruh this video literally just showed me everything I need straight to the point under 10mins .you gotta subscriber out of me
Hey man, thanks so much for the positive feedback and hope yours is running smoothly after the replacement with no check engine lights coming on!
Thank you so much! You've explained it perfectly.. haven't been able to find a video that fully explains everything. Thank you!!👏👏
These IMPALAS HAVE A TON OF SENSORS ON THEM. I REPLACED MY CAMSHAFT SENSORS maybe 3 years ago and now I have a P0011 code for my 2006 CHEVY IMPALA something about the VARIBLE TIME VALVE.. Going to the shop in a few days.. I hope the repair is under 500 dollars.. Thank God on ONSTAR!!!
Yes, they sure do C-Ross and hope it's not too big a deal for you. Let us all know.
@@jamesbell6765 i took it to the stop today and of course when the mechanic got into the car the light went out and they did see the code in the history.. They said it was my oil my oil pressure must have been low but it's ok now I am at 50% oil life gonna changed in a few weeks.
@@clsumjr Well that's good news for sure and hopefully it stays off until you get the oil changed. A little strange that it went on based on oil pressure if you weren't actually low on oil. Does it leak or burn oil? I always run full synthetic in all my cars and seems to really help with engine life, slows down wear that leads to oil consumption, etc. Good luck and thanks for sharing!
@@jamesbell6765 MAYBE it was the oil's velocity and no it wasn't burning oil. I did had the oil pan gasket changed DECEMBER of 2020 AND the car dealer did tell me I got an oil change or maybe them idiots used the same oil that was already in the car.. I am using synthetic blend in it right now. I'll keep you posted and I did spend 3300 dollars for all wear and tare parts but it was worth cause I really did not want to get another car and the engine and trans are in perfect condition and still have the same original serpentine belt
Thanks so much for video Jim, I received the camshaft error , I appreciate the fact that you explained where the banks are to determine which sensors to change. Awesome!
Great video thanks
Special Update: This car belonged to my father before he passed away. After making this video I later found in the glovebox a letter from GM he had received that indicated this was a known issue and due to the problem Chevy extended the warranty to 10 years and 100,000 miles for this particular issue. If you encounter this code you should contact your Chevy dealer as the repair may be covered.
James Bell I replaced mine & it’s still giving me code p0024
pimp intuition: see the special update above. Ours also gave the error again. Check with GM/Chevy as it may be covered under a special extended warranty provision.
Upon reread the letter about this error we found in the glovebox if the Impala read “10 years or 120,000” miles, whichever comes first. Sorry for the error!
James can you please help me. Got code p0017. Bad correlation between crankshaft and camshaft. Car ran and drove. Just felt rough sometimes. So replaced camshaft and car started 2 times and on the 3rd try it will not start. Been working for 2 hours to get it started again and no luck. Searched online threads and people had the same issue but never gave an answer on how issue was resolved. Please help
@@jamesbell6765 I hope you can give me an answer. This is our only vehicle as of now. I'm so confused. Did everything your video said to do and now wont start
Great video, perfect instructions. Thank you sir!
This video is exactly what I needed. Thank you
Good video.I wouldn't try to do this with rubber gloves on.They aren't needed.You really aren't dealing with chemicals that will get on your skin. But if you feel better wearing them,obviously wear them.
Just got the check engine for this yesterday (May 2021). It’s covered by a special recall, total no charge repair if under 10 years from first service and under 193,000 km. I received the recall in 2017 but it specifically said not to bring it to the dealer unless it breaks.
Thomas, yes that’s indeed correct and glad yours was covered within the 10 year timeframe. Be safe!
I had mine replaced under the warranty and mine came back on. I noticed the hesitation in my car as well as when I came to a stop the car would sound as if it was going to shut off. I can’t use my remote to start the car.
@@memestricklin971 I would take the puppy back for more work and I suspect they've stand behind it under the original warranty. Good luck.
@@jamesbell6765 I took it back and they fixed it. Thank you
@@memestricklin971 Great news MeMe!
Not all heroes wear capes. But they do wear blue gloves
R Skip and Others: R Skip asked an embedded question about what symptoms was the car showing before the change in the Camshaft Timing Position Sensor was done. There was no noticeable indication except for the Check Engine light stayed on. As it turns out, it appears to be an ineffective indication in that there is no actual problem with the engine operation. But, since you don't always know if the problem is more serious, it's important to try to address nevertheless.
Thank you ! This helped me today
You're so welcome!
Thank you very much I have watched you videos there pretty good thanks
Thanks so much for sharing this video and my prayers go out for you and the family. I have a 2013 Impala LT that recently gave me the same error code. I'll be changing that part today as I've already checked the solenoids and connections and they seem fine. Hopefully this will clear it so it'll pass inspection. Still looking to see if there was a TSB or recall for my year model for this issue.
What was the code it gave cause my Impala is giving a code for transmission
Hey Don, I don't remember exactly what code it gave but it was specific to then cam shaft sensor. However, I have seen where others said it affected the transmission shifting in 1st and 2nd gears which makes sense considering the engine and transmission work in harmony with one another. I'd start with the sensors first. You can get them on eBay much cheaper than the auto parts stores.
Great video, thanks
Very nice. I’m going to do both mine this weekend...Thanks!
Good luck!
I just put a can of shaft position sensor in my 2014 Impala is that the same sensor he's talking about in this video
What codes were you getting?

Whats the trick to get it unplugged from connector
Sorry for the delay. Was traveling with limited access to personal email, etc. I had a similar problem and actually broke part of the plastic connector. We no longer have this car and I cannot recall if there was a trick but you might search UA-cam on this. Sorry I can't help!
Loved da video my car was doin the same thing
Thanks for the video, I have a 2013 chevy impala, I changed the bank 2 sensor, and still get code p0024 that still comes up, any suggestions?
No, unfortunately, we no longer have this car and I’m just a “backyard mechanic” like most of us. I could not tell you what to try next other than change more sensors.
Thankyou. Mine has a bad Cranksensor
Martin Mumo did you get it fixed?
thx
Which one is the Exhaust Camshaft position timing too or bottom sensor on Bank 2.
Obviously bottom
Where would vvt solenoid for bank 2 be located
Sorry Myron, I no longer have this vehicle so would not be able to assist with this question. Wish I could be more helpful but good luck!
No problem, I appreciate you getting back to me thank you
Great help thanks,where would it be on a 2.5 4 cylinder?
Unfortunately, I would not know where it might be located on the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder George. Sorry I can't be more help on that one!
My code popped last night. I went for the oil change and it didn't work. Next would be to change the part.
Is it ok to drive the car for a week?
It should but not being a mechanic I cannot guarantee anything. If the engine seems to run ok I’d say you’re probably fine.
Great video James. I just had our 2013 Impala LTZ fixed. It had two of these sensors replaced. Car not only runs better, it shifts smoother. Is there any connections about that sensor applying to the transmission as well as the crank sensor?
Great news Simon! I have not heard about a connection to transmission shifting but would think it's plausible to have an impact given all the technology even in 2013. Out of curiosity, how many miles did your Impala have and was there any fuss with the dealer covering it if it was technically out of the original warranty?
@@jamesbell6765 What a question. Here goes, The car had 101,028. The code kept appearing for the past 3 years. We finally got somebody who could accurately find it. Learned by watching you, there are 4 of those "Crank" sensors or Bank sensors. To pin point the bad ones, you need some real good techno experts. So there was one bad on each side, and the guy who fixed it said it does affect shifting from 1st to 2nd. Which is now smoother. I don't know if it's routed through the computer, or vacuum, but it made a difference. Mileage has improved too. Sorry I wrote a novel. Hope this helps.
Simon, yes, it's a bit tricky for sure but appreciate the backstory. Always like to continue to learn from others. Enjoy that smooth shifting from 1st to 2nd! Cheers!
@@jamesbell6765 Just have to ask this last question. Read some other comments. Is this a warranty defect? If so, I paid for a repair We should of not had to. My other question is, does the location of these "Bank sensors go bad because of HEAT?" Reminds me of those Round Coil Packs being too close to the block. I subscribed.
@@hairylarry6167 My understanding is that there was an extended warranty that covered this specific problem up to 120,000 miles. We no longer have the vehicle but we had a letter from Chevy/GMC stating the issue and that it was covered without charge. If you had it repaired by a Chevy dealer I would go back and protest hoping to get a refund. Good luck!
So which separates 1,2 &3,4 and I’m guessing 1 is a 2 is b and 3 is a 4 is b? Or is it different or abcd I don’t know. My craftsman scanner said camshaft position sensor a not sure which one that is. Also I am guessing bank one is front and bank 2 is more towards the back ?
Unfortunately, I haven’t had this vehicle for many years now and cannot recall the exact code readout other than “camshaft timing position sensor” and I think a bank # was in the code. Regret I didn’t spell it out exactly in the original.
Isn’t there a relearn procedure for this part??
Hi Maple, I don't follow your question. If you mean, once you replace the sensor do you need to do anything? Then, all you need to do is reset the system to clear out the check engine light indicator. Is that what you mean by "relearn"?
How do you replace the bank 1 VVT solenoid?
Hi Sam, I'm not familiar with the solenoid replacement steps and no longer have this vehicle. Sorry I can't help on that one. Good luck!
Would that top sensor be considered the intake camshaft sensor? I have two codes reading the crankshaft position/intake camshaft position bank2 and the second code reads intake camshaft position
Yes, I believe that would probably be correct. Bear in mind, this is a known issue with this year and make of Impala and may well be repaired without charge at the Chevy dealer regardless of mileage or age.
James Bell yeah my car factory warranty expired or else I would hahaha I had the recall for it a couple years back but never had the time to get it take. Care of now I’m on my own. Easy fix it looks like. My car seems to studder at times and idle is rough like if it wants to turn off
@@memorodriguez3806 Your Impala is older than 10 years and has more than 120,000 miles on it already? If it has less than 120,000 miles and is less than 10 years old, and if this is the same recall camshaft issue, Chevrolet may repair it for not charge.
James Bell it’s about to hit 100k I’ll to give a call but I bought all the sensors already hahaha but yeah thanks man I’ll look into it
Memo Rodriguez I'm having the same codes did you get your car fixed ?
Did this code throw your car into Stabilitrak/ Limp Mode?
No, it had an occasional misfire but the only consistent symptom was the check engine light was always on.
Hey James. Do you know the recall number?
Sorry for the delay. No we no longer have the car or paperwork. Good luck!
Why is my censor extra long and made of metal?
I would not have any idea about this and no longer have this vehicle for comparison purposes.
Would this work the same on the 2015 V6 LTZ models?
Yes, it should work the same.
@@jamesbell6765 man those pulls tabs are not easy to get off ibsee how you broke the other one. Any tips on how to take the electric plug off the replacement part?
@@SouthernLocks No but might try some wd-40.
@@jamesbell6765 I got it off unfortunately it didn't clear the code when I swapped out the sensor
@@SouthernLocks Might have to replace a different one or ones of that’s for sure the problem. i trust you used the code reader to do an overall reset after replacing the sensor right?
Has anyone ever seen coolant leaking around these sensors?
I have not ever heard of that happening.
What code is this exactly?
Unfortunately, I haven’t had this vehicle for many years now and cannot recall the exact code readout other than “camshaft timing position sensor” and I think a bank # was in the code. Regret I didn’t spell it out exactly in the original.
great job, but no need to remove p.s. pump, mo
- MrRIchBiker it’s been awhile but believe you are correct.
O.k🌹
Tried them and the sensor broke off in my engine and had to get it towed to a shop
You tried what now?
You tried what?
Scan tools don't say "cam sensor" usually poo11 poo16 .....you better check your chains...
What code was it throwing ?
Hi Marc, I don’t recall the actual code but was interpreted to be the Camshaft Timing Position sensor. Also, it may be covered by the factory under a special recall warranty deal so I would suggest you check with a dealer.

Found this video for those who have a broken connector clip.
