2003 mitsubishi outlander camshaft position sensor location

I ran into this problem on my son's 2003 Mitsubishi Outlander AWD 2.4L. It turned out to be the Camshaft Position Sensor. You can test it easily. The sensor is on the right side of the top of the engine, right above the end of the camshaft. 10mm bolt. When it is hot and won't start pull the Sensor out clean it and put it back in. If your car starts then it is the sensor. I got the import replacement at O'Reilley's for $59.99.

One day the car started to stutter and then it died and has not been able to start since. Was told it was fuel pump but not sure. Any ideas?

It could be the fuel pump. Have you checked to see if the pressure is within the manufacturer's specs? Have you checked to see if the plugs are getting spark?

My 2003 mitsubishi outlander will not start the lights and everything come on and it makes a funny noise when trying to start.

Hi there,

What type of noise is this, do you feel that it may be a starter problem, is there a click or aloud clunk when you turn the key? Or is the a grinding noise as it is trying to crank over? Try and describe this noise as it is a bit hard when I can't hear it.

Tools:

  • Socket head 10 mm
  • Tester

Parts and consumables:

  • Crankshaft position sensor
  • Cloth gloves

Note:

If a malfunction occurs in the crankshaft position sensor circuit, the engine stops working, the ECU enters the malfunction code into the memory and turns on the indicator in the instrument cluster. In this case, check if the sensor is working properly.

The engine crankshaft position sensor is installed opposite the master disc located on the crankshaft.

6. Measure the resistance between the sensor leads with a tester. The resistance between any pair of leads must not be zero (winding short) or infinity (winding open). If the resistance does not meet the specified requirements, replace the Mitsubishi Outlander CKP sensor with a new one.

Note:

A rubber sealing ring is installed between the crankshaft position sensor and the cylinder head. Do not lose the ring when removing the sensor, replace if cracks and signs of aging appear on it.

7. Install the engine crankshaft position sensor in the reverse order of removal.
