2009 Toyota Sequoia Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to install the camshaft position sensor and related components on 2009 Toyota Sequoia?

  A: Begin the camshaft position sensor installation by using 2 bolts to attach the 2 VVT sensors at 7.5 Nm (76 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf) torque level before connecting their corresponding sensor connectors. The procedure now requires the intake manifold to be installed before moving onto the No. 1 fuel pipe sub-assembly and the No. 2 fuel pipe sub-assembly. The fuel pipe clamp should be installed with the No. 2 water by-pass pipe installed and then a connection of vacuum hose assembly and installation of air cleaner hose assembly. The camshaft position sensor installation must include both a bolt and stud bolt which should be tightened to 7.5 Nm (80 kgf-cm, 66 in-lbf). The installation of drive belt follows the complete sequence of attaching the No. 3 timing belt cover sub-assembly LH and connecting the No. 1 radiator hose. Connect the radiator hose while examining the system for fuel and coolant leaks and adding compatible engine coolant to the system. The engine shop should first install the under cover along with throttle body cover and front cowl top outer panel sub-assembly on the No. 1 engine. The installation process ends with adding the front wiper motor and link assembly as well as the cowl top ventilator louver sub-assembly and front fender to cowl side seals (both RH and LH components) and finally the front wiper arm and blade assemblies for RH and LH sides.
