Even the camshaft sensors are tough to get to. I had to take off whole motor mount not just top. Then I had to move hose out of the way, still had a hard time getting the 2nd sensor out (toward rear of engine), because it's top was almost hidden behind some type of plate. When I finally pulled it out it broke off and some of the plastic with wires remained stuck to walls in the hole. Tried using a screwdriver and ice pick to scrape and pick it out, some pieces came out, but some were really stuck. Eventually had to drill it out. Hope it does not mess up sensitivity to sensor? Anyway, got dark, my flashlight died, and I was tired. Will finish tomorrow. Hope it still works, but obviously the old one did not! Thanks, a lot more detail than one would think so thanks for the video-TRULY helpful!!!
Thank you. The cam sensors I can get to, the crank sensor even with a flexible extension is basically impossible, at least improbable. Just no room to work especially laying beneath vehicle?
is Camshaft sensor and crankshaft sensor the same? Because other videos show that you need to go underneath the vehicle and it's in a place that is almost unreachable!
Cam sensors are usually more on top, crank sensors usually are accessed from the bottom. They are different and they work in correlation for your vehicles timing
Why is there no room to take out sensors? Looks like the bottom of the motor mount is in the way. I got screw out - it fell down somewhere, and I have no room to pull out Sensor?
You may have to use a jack and jack up the engine via the oil pan. I've never had to replace the crank sensor but if there is no room release the motor mount and jack the engine up carefully. Hope that helps
@@wedoitall7676 Thanks. For the crankshaft sensor that is what I need to do next, even with a long flexible extension it is just very hard to get to, absolutely no room to work. But that is a good suggestion I will try.
P0017 is dealing with a correlation issue between the crankshaft and camshaft sensors....you can try replacing the camshaft sensor also but the bigger issue may be the timing chain may be stretched and slipped. Tooth which would cause the sensors to be out of alignment. It could also be the wiring harness attached to the sensors are damaged. I would start with the camshaft sensor as it is also included on that code. If that's not it you may need to check the wiring and pray it's not a timing chain issue
My apologies. I was not locked in properly when i did this video. Bank 1 is going to be wherever cylinder 1 is in the vehicle. Hope that helps and thank you for stopping by!!

They are different
Haven't had the pleasure of changing a crankshaft sensor yet

is there a relearn procedure?
Not at all....disconnect the negative battery cable before changing for piece of mind
What happens if you don’t?? I did it after and took the ecm fuse out
Shouldn't be an issue..you should be good
Will this fix Camshaft Position
Correlation Bank I Sensor B, so the last 2 sensors are bank 1
Bank 1 is the front of the engine. Bank 2 is the rear. It should fix your issue when they are replaced
When you replace the crankshaft sensor do you have to do the camshaft as well? Getting code p00017 still and won’t start.. cranks over..
What kind of car?
2011 Buick Enclave

@@wedoitall7676 so something I shouldn’t do right lol
@@jerigundrum4636 it's really up to you. I hate throwing parts at things but they do work together so it won't hurt...
Bank 1 or bank2?
Bank 1 is shown in the video. I also show you where bank 2 is. Bank 1 is towards the front of the vehicle, Bank 2 is towards the firewall
Might as well change both
@@rhurtadorh32 agreed
@@wedoitall7676quick question are all 4 sensors the same? Or they diferent?
@@rhurtadorh32 all the same
Bank 1 is in the back
You are correct...was thinking of a different vehicle in reference to cylinder 1. Thanks for catching that
Be nice to tell witch is a or b thanks for wasting my time tho
My apologies. I was not locked in properly when i did this video. Bank 1 is going to be wherever cylinder 1 is in the vehicle. Hope that helps and thank you for stopping by!!
1 and A are the same when referring to banks
A would be the one closest to the vehicle in this situation
