Intake/Exhaust Camshaft Position Sensors Chevrolet Equinox 3.0L 2010-2017 Location and Replacement

In this video, I show you the exact location and access points for the Intake and Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors on a 2010-2017 Chevrolet Equinox with the 3.0L engine.

Knowing exactly where these sensors are located is essential for efficient diagnosis and repair, as they can be situated in tight spots near the cylinder head. Faulty or failing camshaft position sensors are common triggers for a check engine light and can cause noticeable performance issues, such as a rough idle, engine stalling, decreased power, poor fuel economy, and trouble starting the vehicle.

⚠️ Safety First: Working around the engine valve covers and timing components requires cleanliness and care. Always work with a cold engine to avoid burns, disconnect the negative battery terminal before handling electrical connectors to prevent electrical faults, wear safety glasses and gloves, and be extremely careful to keep dirt or debris out of the sensor ports when you remove the old sensors.

As an experienced mechanic, I am here to help you get your engine’s timing and performance back to factory standards.
