Hello all... I need some help to replace the camshaft sensor in my 2014 "5". Is it as simple as it looks, removing it, and installing a new one? Or is there any other adjustment needed?
This is what happened: The "check engine light" came on, ODB error code P0340, "Camshaft Position Sensor / Circuit Malfunction".
Since the camshaft position sensor is easily accessible in the Mazda5 (I believe it's the same for Mazda6, and Mazda3, it is at the top of the engine), I decided to unplugged it, and clean the electrical connectors (with spray). The check engine light went off momentarily, but the car is not running properly.
How do you replace the camshaft sensor? Is it as simple as disconnecting the electrical connector, removing the one bolt, removing the sensor, and installing a new one?
Or do I have to make other adjustments (like in the case of the crankshaft sensor)?
Thank you!!!
