2002 chrysler sebring sedan 2.7L v6 engine light on readout says camshaft sensor problem. could it lalso be a timing belt, how do I know for sure??

Have you ever replaced the timing belt?? If not the problem is likely to be a loose worn out timing belt. A floppy belt will play havoc with the sensor signals and trigger a check engine light and a camshaft sensor code.

It is very important that the crankshaft and timing marks get correctly lined up. Did you make sure you started with the Crankshaft timing mark on TDC (Top Dead Center).

Also, these angines have crankshaft and camshaft position sensors. If you knocked one or both of them out of adjustment they will not see the engine soinning and the computer will not turn on the Spark or ignition module.

On cars that use both if the two modules dont hit precisely as calibrated, maybe being one tooth off on the belt. it will not fire.

This is a feature to protect Zero Clearance engines from damage. this is very common in the chryser 3.0 as it is actually a Mitshubishi engine.

2002 2.7 engine, the timing belt turns the water pump

Hi, here you are...
Crankshaft and camshaft alignment marks-2.4L (VIN X) Engine



Camshaft and crankshaft alignment marks-Chrysler 2.5L (VIN N) engine



Timing belt engine sprocket timing-2.5L (VIN H) engine

check code probable p0340 camshaft position sensor. I have the same problem on 2005 sebring sedan. I was told to check the circuit at the crankshaft and camshaft sensors for the proper voltage. I'm still trying to figure mine out. If you find your answer, let me know.

Every 80,000 miles along with a NEW water Pump as well since its right there with it

Please don't forget to rate:



Crankshaft and camshaft alignment marks—2.4L (VIN X) Engine


Camshaft and crankshaft alignment marks—Chrysler 2.5L (VIN N) engine


Timing belt engine sprocket timing—2.5L (VIN H) engine

the check engine light is on becous engine is misfireing you have bad ciol pack or cam or carnk sensor need to hook up scanner to find defect

The crank sensor is in the top of bell housing of the transmission towards the back of the engine compartment. The cam sensor is built into the distributor.

the 2.7 v6 engine uses a timing chain. no service interval. What engine do you have?
