In this video, I show you the exact location of the intake and exhaust camshaft position sensors on a 2012–2020 Chevrolet Sonic with the 1.8L engine. No time wasted—just a clear, direct look at where these two sensors are situated on the engine.
How This Video Helps You: When doing a DIY vehicle repair, tracking down the correct sensors under the hood can be frustrating. Knowing the precise spot beforehand saves you time, cuts out the guesswork, and lets you approach your repair with confidence.
Symptoms of a Bad Camshaft Position Sensor:
- A triggered Check Engine Light (CEL) with camshaft sensor trouble codes (like P0340 or P0365)
- Engine stalling, sputtering, or rough idling
- Hard starting or a crank-no-start condition
- Poor acceleration, engine misfires, or poor fuel economy
Safety First: Always make safety your top priority! Before you start working around the engine bay, put on your safety glasses and mechanics’ gloves, and stay fully focused and alert throughout the process.
