I think some people (myself included) are confused between camshaft and crankshaft position sensors. I believe their are 4 camshaft position sensors in 2 banks, I’d like to know all these locations as I have p0014 and p0021 corresponding to both banks of CAM shaft sensors. Where are these locations please? I have 2009 Enclave also.

Which one ?

if you want to do it yourself then go buy you a Chiltons manual for your year and make of car it will tell you everything for now and for any other problems and save you thousands of dollars. you can get them for about $20 at a auto parts store (autozone)

The camshaft position sensor, it is on the passenger side in the front on the engine block, it will have a grey connector attached.

To replace:

Disconnect the negative battery cable.
Remove 10mm bolt and remove camshaft sensor.
Unplug sensor, apply dielectric grease to new sensor and plug in, apply a small amount of grease to o-ring, replace into block and tighten bolt.
Reconnect battery cable....that's it, your done.

The camshaft position sensor is mounted to the rear of the cylinder head.

the camshaft sensor is not sold separately for a 2.5 engine,it is mounted in the distributor and you would have to replace the whole distributor!

camshaft sensor is in distributor(requires dist. replacement) crankshaft is behind lower timing belt cover
