Failed Smog, Code P0369
 

Hi everyone,

I just took my 2001 3.0 to be smogged today and it failed. Here is exactly what their system said:


"P0369 - Camshaft Position Sensor “B” Circuit Intermittent Bank 1"


I am not super tech savvy but am I correct in assuming that replacing the Camshaft Position Sensor will fix this issue or could there be more to be done? I've read some mis-matched information during my searching.


Thanks everyone, I appreciate it.

Cam shaft sensor B is the Exhaust Cam position sensor. It lives on the exhaust side of the engine, up high and at the front. The Exhaust VANOS solenoid might be in the way -- on the intake side, sometimes removing the VANOS solenoid helps give straight line access to the sensor.

Thanks JD! Love that you've helped me on the E36 forum and now here! Excellent!! BTW: I was 'E36ic4me' on the E36 forum......SURPRISE!!!! :D
