Here this should help you find it's location. Page 10: Component Locations

The plug can be hard to get off but other than that shouldn't take you more than a few minutes to replace. I went under the truck to replace mine.

 

the other thing that i'm worried about after reading more on this topic is that its not usually the sensor, very rare to have the 6.0 cam sensor to go out...smokeum you didnt go from that top at all? read were alot of people take out the battery and box and air supply to pull the plug off from the top. if you can get to it all from the bottom that would be nice 8mm for the bolt is the only thing that i can really find on this...thanks Hoogie

 

Nope not at all. I didn't remove anything other than the cmp itself. It's harder to find than anything else.

 

V1 PRELIMINARY DIAGNOSIS FOR DTCs P0340, P0341, OR P2614
Note:
Some DTCs require that the engine go through more than one key cycle to set.

Note:
DTCs P2617 and P2614 may set simultaneously after an engine stalling event.

Note:
DTC P2614 is calibrated to an increment counter. To set the DTC requires more than 10 consecutive fault events in the crank or the run mode. Carry out
the required number of key cycles from ON to START to ON (cycling to OFF resets the timer) and then carry out the key on engine off (KOEO) or key on engine
running (KOER) self-test.



Carry out a visual inspection.



Retrieve and record all DTCs.



Record the freeze frame data.



Clear all DTCs.



Carry out the on-demand self-test.

Are any DTCs retrieved?
V2 DIAGNOSTIC TROUBLE CODES (DTCs) P0340, P0341, OR P2614


Possible causes:

CMP circuit open

CMP circuit short to ground

CMP circuit short to power

signal circuit open

signal circuit shorted

PCM

CMP sensor

Does the engine start?
V3 ATTEMPT TO RECREATE THE DTCS


Clear all DTCs.



Key ON, engine running.



Increase the engine speed to greater than 1,500 RPM for 10 seconds. Repeat 2 times.



Key ON, engine OFF.



Carry out the on-demand self-test.

Is DTC P0340, P0341, or P2614 present?

Haha....i've seen that procedure before. I hate just throwing parts at something, in this case, I would throw a part at it. Jmo

Sent from my phone that somebody didn't help me get.

 

unless the code resets with regular certainty just ignore it. I've seen countless random cam/crank/ficm sync codes that were just caused by excessive cranking

 

couldnt igore it..lol truck wouldnt start and the only code gettin thrown was the cam sensor...picked one up at napa lastnight on the way home. and i tell ya it takes longer than 20mins to change if this is your first one..lol it took that long just to find the dang thing. then going from the bottom you cant see nothing just going by feel. getting the 8mm bolt out was pretty easy wish i could say the same about the sensor clip. but got it done. little advice i put some masking tape over the 8mm socket then wedged the bolt in there so it wouldnt fall out when i was tryin to put the bolt back on...once you get your hand up there all you can do is go by feel...anyways got er back in and she fired right up...thanks to the forum on the pics and how to replace and the edge cts for the trouble code...if not for the cts i'd have no clue she would of got towed to the garage...Hoogie

 

I told ya it was harder find than doing. lol. Glad to hear its fixed.

 

thanks smokeum..now the only thing left to bullet proof this truck is the ipr external oil cooler, gen2 egr delete and up pipe. ordering that today or tomorrow and thats it....whoohoo...lol hoogie
