In the 2000 Toyota Camry equipped with a 2.2 liter I-4 engine, the camshaft position sensor is located on the driver's side of the engine, positioned along the midline. It is typically found at or slightly below the cylinder head's valve cover sealing line, under the timing belt assembly. The main role of the camshaft sensor is to determine the camshaft's position relative to the crankshaft. This information is then relayed to the powertrain control module, which uses it in conjunction with the fuel injector and ignition control system to determine the precise amount of fuel needed for combustion and power generation. Signs of a faulty sensor to watch out for include the engine light illuminating, issues with starting the vehicle or failure to start, and the vehicle exhibiting jerking or surging movements during acceleration.
The position sensor for the camshaft on a 2000 Toyota Camry 2.2 can be found at the back of the engine block.
