In a 2015 Jeep Patriot, you can locate the camshaft position sensor on the right side of the engine towards the rear. It is a small sensor with wires connected to it. The purpose of this sensor is to track the position of the camshaft, sending this data to the car's ECU to ensure proper timing of air, fuel, and spark for accurate detonation in the cylinders. If this sensor malfunctions, you might observe rough running of the car, potential misfiring, or knocking sounds caused by incorrect detonation timing.
The camshaft position sensor on the 2015 Jeep Patriot is located on the right rear corner of the engine block.
