OEM 2004 Toyota Avalon Camshaft Position Sensor

2004 Toyota Avalon Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the camshaft position sensors on 2004 Toyota Avalon?

  A: The V-bank cover removal requires first using a 5 mm hexagon wrench to remove 3 cap nuts followed by counterclockwise fastener loosening before completely removing the cover itself. Remove the air cleaner hose combined with its resonator as the next step. The procedure begins with disconnecting the connector wires of the two camshaft position sensors followed by bolt removal of the sensors while carefully extracting the O-rings from within the sensors. Installation requires you to position new O-rings on each new camshaft position sensor before bolt installation with a torque of 8 N.m (80 kgf.cm, 69 in.lbf). To finish the installation you need to reconnect the sensor connections before putting back both components. You should also reinstall the air cleaner hose with resonator before securing the V-bank cover with 3 cap nuts and pressing down the cover fastener.
