• Q: How to replace the Camshaft Position Sensor on 2005 Toyota Prius?

  A: The first step to install a new Camshaft Position Sensor requires you to remove the radiator support opening cover and engine under covers along with the draining of HV coolant. The replacement process begins with unlatching the rear floor board No.2 and deck floor box rear and rear floor board No.3. Production personnel should disconnect engine wire number 3 (also known as the battery negative terminal) before they remove the service plug grip. The service should start with removing the windshield wiper arm cover followed by the front wiper arms (RH and LH) together with the hood to cowl top seal along with the cowl top ventilator louvers (LH and RH). You should remove the windshield wiper link assembly and cowl top panel sub-assembly outer front along with the inverter cover. Verify that the w/converter inverter assembly voltage is zero before disconnecting Inverter cooling hoses number 2, number 1, and number 6 and cutting circuit breaker sensor number 1. The camshaft position sensor can be removed after you disconnect connector wire No.2 and remove the w/converter inverter assembly as well as the bolt securing it. Install the new camshaft position sensor by first applying engine oil to the O-ring and then securing it with the bolt which requires 8.0 Nm torque specification and finally attach the sensor connector. After the w/converter inverter assembly installation, connect frame wire No.2 and circuit breaker sensor No.1 before installing inverter cooling hoses (No.6, No.1, and No.2). Here you must attach in order the inverter cover followed by the cowl top panel sub-assembly outer front and windshield wiper link assembly then place the service plug grip and finish by restoring engine wire No.3 (battery negative terminal). Add HV coolant while inspecting for fluid leaks in the HV cooling system as well as engine oil. After installing rear floor board No.2 and engine under covers and the radiator support opening cover, power window control system initialization should be performed before installing windshield wiper arm cover and front wiper arms (LH and RH) and hood to cowl top seal. Also reinstall the cowl top ventilator louvers (RH and LH).
