Will he need tech stream or similar after replacing sensor? I'm not sure if this is a simple swap or requires "programming".

Nah, of course not. It's just number of sensors and amount of possible DTCs - that makes diag less than straightforward for cam sensors (aka vvt sensors).

Which one(s) did you already replace?
