I know this has been brought up before but I need help with my Camshaft Position sensor (B) on bank 2. I have a 2009 is250 and the wires for this sensor’s plug got ripped out of the plug while I was working on the car. If anyone has an 09 is250 I would greatly appreciate a picture of the plug so I can rewire it. It seems every year IS has different colored wires so I specifically need another 09. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't looked so I don't know the answer but there are three other 3 wire sensors on that engine. Two of the wires are ground and two are12 volts. The third wire is data. 99% chance all sensors are wired in the same pattern on those connectors.
What color are they? You have 3 connectors to look at. And if all three are do not match, unplug one and use a a DMM set to ohms, find which lead goes to ground, take note of its position in the connector. Set meter to volts. Turn ignition on, see what wire position has +12v. What color are those wires and do two of the positions match the color of your depinned connector?
Now test the pulled wires from the depinned connector for +12v and ground. By definition you have the order and position to recover. I say this as so few people read the performance section.
If you don't have a meter use a small low wattage light bulb, which is a good reason to own a 12v test lamp. To do this, get either a test lamp or a bulb and wires. Verify it lights. Turn ignition on and probe you connector for +12v with the other side of the bulb going to ground.
GL and maybe post up the wire position and color as this seems to be happening a lot lately!

Thank you for the very helpful response, I ended up getting the sensor wired up correctly and now everything is running great again . I’ll post the position of the wires later today. Thanks again.
