Camshaft Position Sensor - 2004-2008 5.4L Ford F-150 

Great video only thing I would suggest is telling everyone which is bank one which is supposed to be passenger side and to is the driver side hope this helps someone

Is it me, or did they say they was gonna do the passenger side too, but didn’t.. 🤨🤨. Aren’t you suppose to replace both at the same time? I mean that’s what a ford dealership service department told me 🤷🏾‍♂️

The shortest videos are always the best....straight to the point!!! 👍🏿👍🏿

Just because the code is coming back as the sensor it’s not necessarily the sensor in fact most cases the timing is out of place and changing the sensors is only making your check engine light turn off and the rattle, stalling, poor idle, and loss of power during acceleration quickly resumes. I have an 06 F150 5.4 3v 4x4 and I spent the $50 on the sensors did the swap and less than 3 cranks and 5 miles the same issue and the actual diagnosis is timing assembly is wacky, cam rollover follower in Cylinder 7 is either loose or broke off and wiggling around under the valve cover. There is a cam phaser lock out kit for this issue in the case that the timing assembly isn’t destroyed enough for a complete replacement but in my case Now it’s a $2000 DIY job or a little over $4000 shop job. This motor is dookie.

My 2008 F150 engine light came on and was running rough. Was getting "P0345 camshaft position sensor A circuit bank 2" code. Tried changing the sensor before taking it to a shop for a , most likely, far more costly repair. Got the new OEM sensor ($26) . Followed this video. Installed it in about 15 minutes. Running like a top so far. No more engine light. Thanks guys.

This will only work on some 07s and it will not work on a 08 5.4 3v…ford changed the size of the hole that the solenoid goes into at some point in 2007…it will work for some 07s that were made early on in the year but nothing newer…I own a 2008 with the 5.4 3v and I have to remove the whole cable cover to get it done, great video…they were just unaware of the change made in 2007, hope this saves you 08 guys some time

Thanks for the tutorial. Changed both of mine on a 2005 Ford F150. the first one (passenger side) was a little difficult. Both the electrical connect and the sensor were a little tough to remove. I found that twisting the sensor a little and working a small enough gap between the sensor and the cylinder head allowed me to gently work a small blade screwdriver between the sensor and the cylinder head. Slowly working both sides I was able to free the sensor from its mount. On the drivers side, I left the electrical connect on, removed the bolt and that afforded me a little more real estate to grip onto to remove the sensor. I applied a small amount of lithium grease to the o rings before inserting the new sensor. Overall took about an hour. Noticed that when I started the truck it took a few more revolutions to start than normal and the engine idle was high for about 20 seconds then the idle went back to normal.

A 2006 f150 ford truck... What side is bank 2 is on????

Just bought mine from autozone $29 going to do it tommorow and will leave an update of how it rides.

thank you for video, replacement looks straightforward and ez enough!

I’ve done this and still have my P0010. Any clues?

Still a great video for anyone with this motor under the 175,000 mile mark

I want to say thank you!! After watching this video. I was able to change mine by myself! Thank you!!

I get code p0345 and code p0198 i replace both cam senor and the oil sensor both codes come back after clearing them truck does a jerk or buck when driving and idle little rough 5.4 motor

AWESOME SAUCE! ABOUT TO GO OUTSIDE & DO THIS. MY CODES WERE P0345, P0349 & P0021 (TIMING). I PRAY I DIDN'T SCREW UP THE TIMING WHEN THE SERPENTINE POPPED & KNOCKED OUT CAMSHAFT SENSOR🙏🏾💩😭

What happens if i do not unplug negative terminal?

P.S. On a more serious note....My 2005 Ford F150 with a 5.4 threw a 126 ? Code showing something too do with intake left or right bank problem. Sorry,I can't remember the code,but it was the camshaft sensor. I changed the oil,the light went off. The viscosity of the oil caused it too throw the code related to camshaft sensor problem. The truck calls for 5w 20. I run 10 w 30 now. It stopped throwing code. Change every 3 months regurdless of miles,it works for me.

If it’s cylinder 1,3,5,7 it’s drives side if it’s 2,4,6,8 it’s passenger side

thanks for the help you solved a aurgunment in the shop

Make sure it comes "ooot". Yall must be from up north.

U said 2 sensors why u change only one?

I have a 2004 Ford F150 5.4 POO22 code I replace the cam phaser solenoid an cam sensor New oil pump timing chain I’m still getting the same code P0022 can anyone help me please thank you

The camshaft position sensor on my ‘06 Ford F-150 5.4 was VERY difficult to take off I’m not sure why? I wonder if anyone else had this problem?

why did you not show the replacement of the passenger side of the camshaft position sensor on 5.4 tritom

Thank you gentlemen for the sound advice! This video had so much attention to detail and clear explanation, that I had to subscribe to this channel! Take care and looking forward to more! 👍

Thanks guys it was exactly how you all explained it...thanks alot

On my 2007 F-150, the severely rusted bolt holding the sensor on was removed by first wire brushing with a Dremel. Then, I pounded a 7 mm socket onto the bolt mounted on a breaker bar to keep it true. Grateful for the video. Truck runs great.

I have P0302 Missfire on my blue driver, I replaced Spark plugs, coil, and injector and it is still coming back, it's a 2006 5.4 F150 Any advice?

So just to confirm before I go in and replace this and find out I did the wrong side lol, the camshaft position sensor A bank 1 is the passenger side, correct? Thanks.

Is this the bank 1 sensor that you replaced?????

I replace the sensors on my 2004 but still running rough when I disconnect the harness it runs fine I been running it with the harness off and seem to be ok any ideas of what should I do?

I’ve changed my sensor multiple times and it temporarily solves the engine light issue. But when I go to start it some time later the light and code come back ?

How I Kno if I have to change both

Thank you. It helped me a great deal since I don't know anything about car :)

Shouldn’t you put dielectric grease or engine oil on the sensor instead of putting it in dry?!

What about the relearn… the sensor to the pcm communication?

Very easy instructions took me 10 minutes to change.

Great video, whats up with that honda battery though???!!!!

so every time I hook up my truck to the diagnostics it tells me that it’s the intake position sensor and the camshaft position sensor so I don’t know if it’s the same sensor or two different sensors someone help me here i’m lost

Oh man that was exactly what I was looking for...thank you..helped a lot.

Yeah listen to the other guy in the comments cause I learned the hard way. This WILL NOT WORK FOR LATE MODEL 07-08. I have a 07 and my hole on the valve cover is much much smaller. You gotta remove the whole damn valve cover. Oil dipstick. A couple brackets and such

The engine in thid video looks like 2v 2004-08 have 3vs

I just replaced the phasers, chain, oil pump, and solenoids on my f-150. I had the engine stall on me and these codes came up. Should I try to replace the sensors?

I just replaced mine and you have to be careful because it might not come out to easy, I know because after I unbolted it I wobbled it tried to turn it and it wouldn't budge. I tried to get a screwdriver behind it and it snapped off. I finally was able to fish it out after a lot of swear words, but there is corrosion on the outside of the "O" ring. I tried to put the new one in, and it didn't want to go in, so I took my flathead screwdriver and cleaned the corrosion out and it went in finally.

Why did you have to disconnect the battery?

Your video doesn't explain the location or replacement of the passenger side cam shaft sensor. Can you suggest another video?

Idk if it's bad, but I didn't have a torque wrench, so I just tightened the bolt as tight as I could with a ratchet. Seems to be doing fine.

I have a 07 ford f150. 5.4L and code p0020 just came on. Could it be this ??

How do we know what side has a bad sensor ? What is bank 1. Is there a way to test the sensor ?

Where is the sensors on passenger side located

Are both sensors the same part on this vehicle? Gonna do some work on one but cant find anywhere if theyre separate part numbers or the same for this model truck?

I followed these instructions to a tee....Cranked up truck ,hit gas, hit two cats and a rat in the ass....But,the truck did crank.

That Looked Easy 😮👍🏻Maybe I can change it after All ? 👀😁👍🏻

the 2 on the front are the exhaust side sensors? where are the intake side sensors?

Would a bad cam sensor cause whining & squeeling first 5 min truck warm up?

Im gonna do it on my 04 hopefully is that but i doubt it i think i need an engine 245k miles

I have a 2015 Ford F-150 lariate will not change any gears ?????help

Great video!

Should have shown them both

What about the left camshaft positioning sensor

Thanks for the information. Very good

I have similar challenge but in a Toyota Camry 1999 with a confirmed P0340 and a pending P0116, P0773. The symptoms the customer told me were: engine stalling while on motion and during that time the car is very hard to start because the engine is hot but when the waited for an hour the car car started. What I noticed was that the car revv high intermittently on it's own but will return to normal idle again about 5 second again, and the exhaust tailpipe was really darkened when I put my hand. Plugs, fuel pump and a relay( the don't know where the relay was removed though) was replaced by another engineer but the problem still persist. Please how do I fix this problem? Will replacement of part like camshaft position sensor fix this problem?

Do you change bothe

Great video!!

I cant pull it out 😂

I have a 2008 it has code p0344 and p0340 is making a lot of rattling nosie I change both sensors and still doing the same

I replaced both of my and still the same with a hard start

I order the senor they gave me 2 parts for bank 2 on the camshaft

I agree very helpful thanks guy's

Thx y'all so this is bank 1 intake right?? Thx

What do you do when they break off in the block?

Which one is bank 1 sensor A

using BlueDriver is it possible to check for a faulty crankshaft or camshaft position sensor using “Mode 6” or “Live” data mode?

what is the part number for the sensor?

Which is bank 1 sensor A?

I've replaced mine thanks to the help of this video but are they supposed to be covered in oil? In the video they seem as dry as the new ones

Which side is Bank one?

Is there more than 1??? Or just 1 sensor?

U guys rock. Thank you.

So I replaced the sensor yesterday on my 05 f150 5.4 But I just seen your video and I did not disconnect the battery. Is that bad or is it gonna cause any problems?

Thanks great job

Thanks for the info

Can't get past the ring, help

Which one is bank 2???? Why is google and RU-vid not helping me find this? Just need to replace bank 2.

How was it running before tho

I have 07 lariat and I have codes P0012-P0016,is it the sensor or bad engine?

Thank you so much for this video

Excellent video! Thank you

How about the engine light?

Great video I finally got it thanks

Thank you very much men!

I’m getting this code but also getting taping from Engine and loss of oil pressure. Could it still be the sensor?

Great video guys.

Could you please help me determine what would cause P0340 and P0344 Camshaft position sensor code to continue coming on after replacement of camp chef position sensor. With good ECM or PCM computer module.Codes can be cleared but they come right back

Thanks guys!

Very well explained thanks a lot

Nice

is this the same as a V6?

Wondering if I'll have to pull the valve covers off my 2007 f150. I've replaced the valve positioning sensors last week. The motor still does rough idle at times. But it seems to have helped. I've been researching all around today. It's just such a big job to pull those covers off.

I was working on a Nissan Frontier last month and had to change the camshaft position sensor. I found the oil to be so low that it didn’t show on the dip stick. Today, I have one to change for an F150, and same thing. Oil didn’t reach the dipstick. I wonder if it is related. Maybe an overheating issue due to lack of oil.
