Removal Procedure
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2022 Cadillac CT4. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Remove the oil fill cap.
Intake Manifold Cover Bolt (1) - Remove [2x]
- Lift up on the front of the intake manifold cover (2).
Intake Manifold Cover (1) @ Upper Intake Manifold Bracket (2) - Remove
Disconnect the camshaft lobe position actuator electrical connector.
- Camshaft Position Actuator Bolt (1) - Remove [2x]
- Only replace the faulty camshaft lobe position actuator.
- Do not pry the actuator loose from the cover using any lever such as screw driver. Prying the actuator between the flange plate to the cover boss can separate the guide from the flange plate.
- Rotate the actuator clockwise and counter clockwise to loosen up the O-ring in the cam cover bore. Even with the poka-yoke tabs, the actuator can be rotated slightly to loosen up the O-ring in the bore.
- Pull the actuator straight out of the cover.
- Camshaft Lobe Position Actuator - Exhaust (2) - Remove
