Hello everyone- excited to join as I’m a new owner of a 14’ GX 460. As such I decided to do some maintenance myself and change air filter, oil change and spark plugs.

unfortunately, I accidentally broke the plug for the camshaft position sensor. The plug is shot and wires are bare. The wires are purple , white and black. I called Lexus and they don’t seem to know if they sell the plug itself- they want to sell me the entire wire harness.

Anyone please help?

The camshaft sensor is part 11102a- the plug is unknown number. Any help appreciated.

yes! By chance anyone have a wire diagram ?

 

Can someone please take a photo of their sensor so I can see the wires ?

i can’t find a wire diagram to save my life- the dealer doesn’t want to help either even if I offer to buy the sensor.

 

It sounds like IH8Mud member had similar issue recently.

 

Called another Service/ Parts place. They have a repair kit however wires are not color coded, all black. Tried to look at another GX in their lot but they escorted me off.

 

What colors are 1,2 and 3?

 

I'm not seeing the same colors on FSM I am looking at for '14

 

Isn't the sensor you are looking at the same one in picture in thread I referenced?

There is this picture

 

Different, the camshaft sensor is located below next to the first coil on the passenger side engine!

thank you for the reply

 

So right rear of engine as engine diagram shows below?

I'm not able to look at this on my personal vehicle for a week due to my current location

 

Looks like it is the VVT sensor next to the first coil on passenger side.
edit - exhaust side VVT bank 2

 

Hopefully this helps

 

Yes thank you kind soul!!!

 

how did the damage occur, any pictures of the carnage? can you post pics of the repair please. @Ducs2r
