★ Top Answer
The 2006 GMC Canyon has its camshaft position sensor located on top of the engine to determine the position of the crankshaft. This information, along with data from the crankshaft position sensor, is relayed to the ECU for monitoring various engine functions such as intake, exhaust, combustion, and compression by assessing the valves in each cylinder. Signs of a failing camshaft sensor could include rough idling, frequent stalling, decreased engine power, or reduced gas mileage, with the Check Engine light illuminating as a warning. Failure to address the issue may result in difficulty starting the vehicle. Replacing the sensor is a relatively low-cost procedure, with parts typically priced between $50 to $60 and labor around $70 to $80.
