Cummins Cam Position Sensor Install: 98.5-02 Dodge Cummins 5.9L

The cam and crankshaft on your Cummins must work in perfect harmony with one another in order to ensure your engine operates smoothly as intended. The two are able to communicate with one another via the cam position sensor to communicate position to the ECM. In the event that the sensor is delivering faulty signals, your engine will experience poor overall engine performance. This is a genuine Cummins direct replacement unit to get you back up and running properly.
Watch us install a Cummins Cam Position Sensor 4921597 on a 2001 Dodge Cummins 5.9L.

You're the man, Wade. Couldn't have done it without this video. Tried to reach it from the bottom, did most of it from under the truck, but couldn't get the bolt back in. Had to remove the boost tube and throttle and get it from the top like you did.

Followed your directions and successfully replaced my camshaft sensor on my 1998 Dodge 2500. It was extremely difficult, but got ‘er done! Thank you!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

You're welcome!

[@Mikheno]

Wade, I did most of my work from underneath the truck and left the electrical connector in place 'til the bolt came out. I also kept on the intake horn and boost tubing as it didn't seem to be in the way. The CPS popped right off after the bolt was out. Again from underneath I used a long screwdriver to pry on the sensor and it was off in 2 seconds. Once the sensor came out it was easy to get the elec connector off. Many roads to Rome I supposed but this worked for me.

OK ... I got mine done .. I used a 6" extension 3/8 drive , and a 3/8 drive 4" long 5mm ball socket .. and one of the Snap On ratchets 3/8 drive in a 1/4 drive ratchet .. You can see it pretty good when you lay over the engine with your head next to the brake booster ... Took about 3 hours to get it all apart and about 1/2 hour to put it back together .. I did remove the VP wire harness and vacuum line from the vacuum pump ..

[@joshsteege7977]

So my 99 2500 threw P0336, I replaced crank position sensor and two months later got the same code. The tach does the same as in the video but every so often just works and the pickup studders a little bit then it quits again. Could that be the cam sensor being that they work together? Or should I check the crank sensor harness and connection?

I really appreciate finding this video as I have the same dead tach issue just starting on my '01. It dies for a few seconds while driving and pops right back - Anyone else find that this starts intermittently and then just dies altogether? Also, would it be possible to reach this from underneath? I'd rather crawl under than dig in from above. Thanks.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

This was my truck, and the truck never actually died, it just ran rough. However, on the early truck with a CRANK position sensor, the truck would die when it lost signal. As for getting to it from underneath, I don’t think you will be able to access it because of the vacuum pump.

[@joshuapete3717]

Hey thanks for the video! I jave a 1691 code and a low voltage code. Would the camshaft sensor cause that?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

I would load test batteries and check all grounds first. Also check alternator output.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Lift pump failure, and you found it once you opened up the system. What we see in this case is that the VP was probably pulling its own fuel supply, but now that you have broken the circuit, you will need to replace the lift pump.

Could this cmp sensor make the 2000 5.9 24v have a dead pedal and I’ve replaced my injection pump and the TPS sensor

My 2000/2500 Cummings starts well when engine is cold, engine starts at the tap of the starter. At normal operating temp the engine either turns over several times before starting, or turns over but will not start until I give it a shot of starting fluid, or it cools off. I have replaced the in tank lift pump but have the same symptoms. The tachometer works, so do you think this is the crankshaft position sensor? Thanks!

Penetrating oil is never a bad thing on a job like this, you do have to get it dry before you start to work so that you are able to get the sensor out.

Hey got an odd question but I have a 2002 3500 24v, I keep getting code p0336 crank position sensor but from what I can understand the 2002 doesn't have a crank sensor only cam. (Well my truck definitely doesn't) I have no rpms and a few lights on the dash also. I got the truck from my grandfather who purchased new in 2002 the only thing he had done was a pcm replaced back in the day. So my question is do you think it could be the wrong pcm installed causing the truck to look for the crank sensor? I get a rpm reading for 3-5 seconds on startup and I can see my rpms with a scan tool just nothing on the dash after the first start, I did replace my cam sensor anyways with no change. Thanks!

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

My 02 is surging when in park as if I was tapping the throttle. Hitting 850-900rpm then dropping to 800 and doing it again. Would this be a cam sensor too? I noticed on your smarty that the rpm seemed fairly consistent.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

I don’t believe that to be a CPS from what you are saying. You could have a fuel supply issue that is causing the truck to hunt. Start by pulling codes and checking lift pump pressure.

[@DSBAffliction]

@@thoroughbreddiesel Thank you for the advice, no codes as of yet. Just this Friday it's stopped coincidentally after bumping the passenger side battery ground cable. My local shop did an intank lift pump replacement a year ago, so I'll look to see how I can check the pressure on it. It started again today while coasting, hesitating at 900 and not going down until I've braked to about 40km/hr then it drops to 800. Which it was also doing before. But now the rpm isn't bouncing in park. Sorry for such a long reply, but if you have any more advice I'd much appreciate it. Will try to check that lift pump pressure and check again for codes.

Thoroughbred Diesel Funny back story. I hooked the boat up and went to the tag agency, which was not even a mile away, shut the truck off and came back to take the boat back to storage and had no gauges and no bus in the mileage ticket. Truck still runs and drives normal. I did some power testing and thought I had a bad PCM, replaced it but it didn’t fix it. I also replaced the cluster, no fix. I pulled the ECM and cleaned the plugs and reinstalled it. The RPM gauge is the only gauge that works now. All grounds were went over and cleaned as well.

[@davecarrow939]

Would there be a benefit to plugging the sensor in before you stick it back in the hole. I'm thinking 2 things: not struggling with plugging it in after install and if you dropped it, easy to find (it's on the end of the connector)?

Why does a 2003 Dodge Ram 2500 not start unless plugged in when it’s cold outside

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Need to know lift pump pressure and also what the actual vs. commanded rail pressure when starting.

[@ignusa749]

yes on the lift pump! weak lift pump or the pressure bypass valve. you could have a vp44 bad... if it has not been done yet at 300k miles it is time to remove it and have it tested.. I did the shop truck at 275k miles... same thing as you.. it all started with a bad weak lift pump... get a pressure gauge and check the lift pump pressure at the vp44 should be at least 10 psi min.. a good lift pump will be 12 to 18 psi.. and the pressure regulator on the vp44 bypasses the pressure.. make sure your intake air grid heater is working, check that with a 400 amp clamp on dc current meter, if it is real cold (below 0 deg F) I always say cycle the grid heater 2x with no crank between cycles. same on all diesels with glow plug! I cheat on all the diesels in the fleet and put on onboard battery chargers as well as battery blanket heaters for the guys who have to go when it is super cold (below 0 degF) if you use that with the block heater it is a total win day!! and be sure to drain the water often from the separator (every fill up) and use a good fuel conditioner to help in lower temps (below 35 deg f) some days you might be able to get it started... then cake up the fuel filter with wax if it is super cold (bad day)

Would cps cause shifting issues on automatic trans?

I wouldn’t suspect the CPS itself, but if you have zero tach signal then it could cause issues because of the drive ability effect on the engine. But if tach is there and you are having shifting problems, then something else is going on.

Hello there I just remove mine today and I will install tomorrow the new one I was just wondering if someone can help me mine dodge when it start the engine runs kinda weird and the tachometer it's working but after few seconds the tachometer dies and then the truck runs perfect

If your truck does not have a crank position sensor, then I would suspect the cam position sensor. If it’s a 98 or 99 truck with a crank sensor, I would do the crank sensor first.

@@thoroughbreddiesel Good Advice! Even though I've always moved the starter out of the way to access the crank sensor. Neither are "easy projects".

Hi did u ever figure put ur problem? I have same problem on mine right now

[@rodolfoplasencia4953]

Is not easier to reach it and move it from the bottom?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

No, PS and Vacuum pump block the path.

How hard is it to do on a 06 dodge 2500? it is the 5.9 Texas edition

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Actually a little easier, same location as on the VP trucks.

[@CumminsV-lr8mp]

Will this make your truck not start.

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

No. If you have a no start condition, you will need to look at other factors.

[@michaelfraser2614]

On a 99 is it behind the starter ?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

The crank position sensor is on the block at the same level as the starter. The cam sensor is on the front cover as shown in this video. They are 2 separate sensors on the 98.5-Early 2000’s.

@@thoroughbreddiesel I messed up and bought the crank sensor but my check engine light is out and my rpm gauge is working properly

[@liltiti86]

What are the symptoms of this sensor

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

This was throwing a cam position sensor code and tach wasn’t working.

[@HondaMechanic1]

I'm working on changing mine now .. LOL .. You need little school girl hands/fingers to change it and start the screw ...

[@brandonoberndorfer8590]

What if the tuner is reading rpm but tach loses it and injection timing when tach is at zero is off and smokey still cam sensor?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

What year is the truck? If you don’t have tach, need to fix for sure because the truck will not fuel correctly.

1997 does not shift, no tach, and dies in drive but not 2 gear, also not charging? Help

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

Something totally electrical, go through batteries first, then check all grounds.

Which one is the speed sensor on that engine ?

[@thoroughbreddiesel]

The cam position sensor is the engine speed sensor.

Great videos but I cannot stand the mic / audio settings on your videos. It amplifies the sound of you taking a breath each and every time.

Sometime you gotta take the good with the bad.

Just to let you know the HEAVY BREATHING isn't NECESSARY when removing the Sensor....You can if you Like but it's not NECESSARY...
