Omg...I'm so glad I found this video because all of the other videos I've watched didn't say which sensor goes where. Now, Im aware of which sensor I need to change based on the cylinders of my vehicle. This has saved me so much time and aggravation. Thank you again!

I have that code on my 07 acadia. Car still runs great. I've changed two of the vvt. Camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor. Changed the oil. And still showing.

Did you ever fix this ?

[@brandyhernandez8514]

So if you had dirty.engine oil and changed the oil should I just erase the code or do I need to change the sensor?

[@HVAC_Mechanic]

You can clear the code and see if it comes back. If the code comes back, something is likely clogged or damaged.

My OBD scanner is recommending that I change my solenoid. How do I know which one to change out? Or would I have to change both in this situation?

[@HVAC_Mechanic]

It is always best to get a diagram for the specific vehicle, but "A" is usually the Intake solenoid, and "B" is usually the Exhaust solenoid.
