There are 4 different engines available for that car. I need the 8th digit of the VIN# XXXXX know which one you have.

Customer replied 2157 days and 5 hours ago.

It is a 2.7 Ltr. V6. The Vin is 2B3HD46R5YH159867.

I suspected that but there are 3 different 2.7s available for that car.

 

The code doesn't automatically mean the sensor is bad. It indicates there is no cam sensor signal so a wiring problem will do the same thing.

The Camshaft Position Sensor is mounted in the front of the timing case cover. It is a hall effect device. It's held in by one bolt and very easy to change.
