The camshaft position sensor for a 2012 Chevy Malibu is located on the passenger side of the engine head. This sensor monitors the camshaft's speed and transmits the information to the car's engine control module (ECM). The ECM then uses this data to control the ignition timing and fuel injection timing for the engine. Replacing the camshaft position sensor typically costs between $180 and $240, with labor fees around $80 to $100 and parts costing between $110 and $140. While there's no specific timeframe for replacing the sensor, it can fail over time, especially after surpassing 100,000 miles on the vehicle.
