Hello, I would appreciate it if anyone could help me out. I replaced the spark plugs and pulled 2 wires from the Camshaft position sensor. I bought the female casing, but now I don't know how the wires go, the green one is still attached, and I don't know where the black and the brown go in the female connector.

 

Would it be possible to have a picture of general area where the sensor is?

The only thing I could quickly see on an FKS motor that was 3 wire and bear the spark plug/coil pack area was this one on the driver side. But it's blue/cyan, brown, and black, not green.

bruh, I appreciate it, I think I can make it work with this. I had it like this. But the wires were not making good contact since they were lose. When I switched the wires, It almost immediately gave a check engine light. When I had it like this, it didn’t give me a check engine light right away. It was stored, I have the female connector, I will get the crimping plugs and will try to get it going. The wires are very short, I probably just add more wire to to it.

 

Good morning. did you ever fix this? I have the same issue after changing out spark plugs for my 2016 GS350. This area on the driver side is very tight and it dosent take much for that particular camshaft position sensor wiring to come out due to the location. Unplugging this sensor and moving the harness is necessary to get to those two spark plugs on that side.

 

I think you're asking about a VVT Camshaft Position Sensor located on Bank 2, you should be able to see what the wire color coding is. Does the following make sense and help you any?

 

I'm seeing all sorts of different wire colors that are all supposed to be VVT Camshaft Position Sensor A for Bank 2 - - and I'm seeing the same for VVT Camshaft Position Sensor B for Bank 2.

 

This 2GR-FSE Engine Control layout for VVT Cam Position Sensors on Bank 2 may help...

The Intake Side VVT Camshaft Position Sensor is a.k.a. Sensor A, with the Exhaust Side VVT Camshaft Position Sensor is a.k.a. Sensor B.

VVT: Variable Valve Timing

Typical wire insulation colors are: B: Black, BR: Brown, Y: Yellow, L: Blue, G: Green, GY: Grey, R: Red, V: Violet

Note: Some wires may have another color stripe: (e.g. R-L, B-L).

 

Then to really totally confuse matters with respect to wire colors versus the engine control layout chart in the above post, there is this (which doesn't match up):



And this (which doesn't match up):



And this (which doesn't match up):



Many different wire color configurations for the same sensor!

 

This should help me out. I ordered a 3 wire plug and I'm going to wire them and hopefully this should clear that code.

 

@GibbsLexus - Good luck!

Just be aware that not all the wire colors that people have posted of the FSE or FSK camshaft sensor A for Bank 2 wiring is like what is in the above posted layout. Look at the different images I posted in the above post - Post #8 - which simply do not match up! That said, it could be problematic when trying to wire the plug connector correctly.

 

I fixed this issue yesterday afternoon. No more check engine light, no more codes.

 

Which ended up being your color combo?

 

Blue, Brown and Black. 6 days later, still good as new.
