Where is the camshaft located?

I want to check my camshaft sensor to see if it’s bad. Where is the camshaft located?

Great question! The camshaft is typically located under the cylinders of your engine. The camshaft sensor should be mounted on the cylinder head at the rear of the valve cover.
The layout of your engine may vary by vehicle make and model, so check your owner’s manual or research the engine of your specific car to get a better idea.
