P0368: Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit High Input (Bank 1)

I assume it is on the pass side (left hand drive)

But there are three sensors back there. Which is which?


Thanks

Having a similar issue. Getting a p1017 valvetronic eccentric valve sensor located on the eccentric cam. Are you planning on tackling the job yourself. I'm also gettin p1030 valvetronic monitoring sluggish movement. Anyone have any input if its the valvetronic motor or the eccentric sensor itself. Currently car will start then stall right away.

Too much of a tight wad and too poor to pay anyone so yes, I'll be doing it myself.

Looks like I'll have to do some swapping from right to left and vice a versa to figure this one out....

Bank 1 is the passenger side, sensor B is the exhaust cam position sensor. It will be the sensor closest to the exhaust ports at the rear of the valve cover. The VVT sensor is the uppermost sensor, and the intake cam position sensor is between the two. In the attached picture, the sensors are all removed, and this is for bank 2, but the hole at the bottom is where the exhaust cam sensor is located.

True that! BTW, that leak which I thought was comnig from the vacuum pump seals turned out to be from the oil pressure sensor. I put my hand behind the pump and felt around and voila! Oil present on the plug from the switch. I had my indy guy swap it a while ago but I guess it didn't happen or it wasn't torqued properly. This is why we gotta do everything ourselves to make sure stuff actally gets done! Would you happen to have a deep socket for that switch? I don't have anything that big. LMK.

I do I just don't remember the size. Get the sensor and bring it by my place so we can match it up to the correct socket.
