2014 ENGINE Engine Mechanical - 3.6L (LLT) - Repair Instructions - On Vehicle - Acadia, Enclave And Traverse
Removal Procedure
1. Remove the camshaft cover. Refer to Camshaft Cover Replacement - Right Side.
2. Remove the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve solenoid - intake. Refer to Camshaft Position
Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Intake .
3. Remove the intake camshaft position sensor. Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank 1
(Right Side) Intake .
4. Remove the exhaust camshaft position sensor. Refer to Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement - Bank
1 (Right Side) Exhaust .
5. Remove the camshaft position actuator solenoid valve solenoid - exhaust. Refer to Camshaft Position
Actuator Solenoid Valve Solenoid Replacement - Bank 1 (Right Side) Exhaust .
6. Rotate engine clockwise using crankshaft dampener retaining bolt until the flats at the rear ends of the
camshafts are pointing up. This puts the camshafts on "base circle" and will reduce their tendency to
rotate from valve spring pressure when the camshaft position actuators/drive chains are removed.
7. Loosen intake and/or exhaust camshaft position actuator retaining bolts, depending on which camshaft
position actuator and/or camshaft you will be servicing. If servicing both camshaft position actuators
and/or camshafts, loosen both bolts.
NOTE: Do NOT remove or back out the camshaft position actuator bolt(s)
significantly, simply break them loose from their fully-torqued position.
The position actuators must stay firmly attached until the retaining tools
are in place, but they should be broken loose while the chain is still tight
and in position.
