Hi,
I need to check the Camshaft Position Sensor B but I dont know if it is in the driver or passanger side. I'm supposing that is located in the driver side.
Thanks in advance
What is the exact code? B would be fr the Exhaust cam. So that would be Passenger side cam closest to the exhust
Disclaimer - I am not a "licensed" mechanic, rather just an "armchair" version.
Based on my understanding, there are camshaft position sensors on the top of the engine, that are intake side sensors, one that you found to the right of the oil filler at the top of the engine. There should be another one on the opposite (passenger) side of the engine, on the top, in roughly the similar location just above the oil control solenoids.
There are 2 more camshaft position sensors on the lower side of the engine, again in respective locations to the upper ones, but near the bottom of the engine that are exhaust side.
In terms of Bank and Sensor, I believe it goes like this..
Bank 1 = Passenger side / Bank 2 = Drivers side
Sensor A = Intake Cam (Top) / Sensor B = Exhaust Cam (Bottom)
This all being said, I don't believe that code necessarily means the sensor is bad as its possible and maybe more likely that the respective oil control solenoid in that location is stuck or not operating properly. I had a similar issue on our '14 Crosstrek and it was recommended to swap the oil control solenoid between top/bottom and see if the error moves to that position to determine if that was the issue, then replace that solenoid. I decided to just replace all 4 solenoids as they weren't that expensive.
Again, just to express that I am not a professional mechanic and am providing the above as my thoughts and would recommend you verify with your own due diligence.
