Disconnect the cable from the negative battery terminal. For four cylinder models, the CMP sensor is located at the top corners of the valve cover. Lift the engine cover up and off of the ball studs then remove the cover, if equipped. Disconnect the CMP sensor electrical connector. Remove the CMP sensor mounting bolt and remove the sensor from the valve cover. Inspect the condition of the CMP sensor O-ring and replace if necessary. Installation is the reverse of removal. For V6 models, the CMPs are mounted on the top of the valve covers for 2.7L models, at the right end of each cylinder head for 3.0L models, and on the left end of each cylinder head for 3.5L models. If removing the CMP sensor from the front cylinder head on a 3.0L engine, detach the wiring harness clip from the valve cover stud. If removing the CMP sensor from the rear cylinder head on a 3.0L engine, remove the radio frequency interference capacitor from the valve cover stud. If removing either CMP sensor on a 3.5L engine, remove the air intake duct. If removing a rear bank sensor on a 2.7L V6, remove the engine cover, the rear air intake duct, and the rear Charge Air Cooler duct. Disconnect the CMP sensor electrical connector. Remove the CMP sensor mounting bolt and remove the CMP sensor. Remove the CMP sensor O-ring and inspect its condition, replacing if necessary. Lubricate the sensor O-ring with clean engine oil before installation.
