Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor
In the engine compartment, on the right side of the engine block, at the rear 5 cylinder , need to take exhaust heat shield off to get at it

It appears to be #15 in picture, on backside of engine.

Are you sure about the engine size? I think that vehicle only came with a 3.0. Try this link. V6. https://r.search.yahoo.com/_ylt=AwrJ7KFrydpcBZgAlTRXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTEydHZ2MHNmBGNvbG8DYmYxBHBvcwMyBHZ0aWQDQjcwMTJfMQRzZWMDc3I-/RV=2/RE=1557871084/RO=10/RU=https%3a%2f%2fwww.youtube.com%2fwatch%3fv%3djyvhQPreUyc/RK=2/RS=o9Dfx7EK8APFnGQg4IgWtGE7iNQ-

did you test or are you guessing ? The fuel pump relay allows the ECM to energize the fuel pump. The ECM enables the fuel pump whenever the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor pulses are detected. GM Fuel Pump Relay Testing

Quick overview crankshaft position sensor replacement for a 2004 Cadillac DTS 4.6 liter North Star. ... 2003 Cadillac CTSCrank Position Sensor Part 3 Done!!! - Duration: 8:21. 2LateIWon 8,433 views. 8:21. How To Check .

Here is the sensor location on the 2005 STS. My understanding is that on the 2005 it sat over the exhaust cam sprocket and on the 2006 it sits over the intake cam sprocket. That should be no problem as there will only be one to locate on your 2008.

P0008 CADILLAC - Engine Positions System Performance Bank 1
The ECM detects that both camshafts on either bank of the engine are mis-aligned with the crankshaft for more than 4 seconds or a cumulative of 50 seconds.

The Engine Control Module (ECM) monitors the position of both camshafts and the crankshaft. The ECM performs a test for misalignment between both camshafts on one bank of the engine and the crankshaft. During the test the ECM learns the position of the camshafts and the crankshaft. While the engine is idling, the ECM compares the position of both the camshafts and the crankshaft with the learned value. The ECM will set the P0008 code if both learned values for one bank of the engine are exceeding a calibrated threshold in the same direction.

Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)

Possible causes
- Engine mechanical problems
- Incorrect timing chain
- Stretched timing chain
- Failed camshaft actuator or actuator solenoid

Tech notes
There is a factory service bulletin for the following Cadillac models:

2004-2008 Cadillac CTS SRX
2005-2008 Cadillac STS

The service bulletin suggest replacing the primary drive and both secondary drive timing chains. Contact your Cadillac dealer for more information. The repair could still be cover under factory warranty.


Hope this helps (remember to rate this answer).
