• Q: How to service the Camshaft Position Sensor on 2006 Toyota Prius?

  A: Begin Camshaft Position Sensor service by taking out the radiator support opening cover as well as the engine under cover LH and RH. Before proceeding with any service it is necessary to drain engine coolant with HV coolant while waiting a minimum of 90 seconds until disconnecting the negative battery terminal cable. This step avoids Air Bag and seat belt pretensioner activation. Initial steps include separating the inverter with converter before disconnecting the sensor connector and deleting the bolt and sensor. First install the new sensor by tightening its bolt to 7.5 N.m (76 kgf.cm, 66 in.lbf) then connect the sensor connector. Installing the inverter with converter requires users to connect the cable to the negative battery terminal and perform HV coolant and engine coolant additions. A thorough examination must identify possible leaks throughout the engine coolant as well as the HV coolant systems. The assistant needs to reinstall the radiator support opening cover and engine under cover RH and LH before performing initialization steps on systems which require it after negative battery terminal reconnect.
