Greetings, everyone.

The service light on our Kia Picanto illuminated a few days ago. The codes suggest a potential problem with the CMP (Camshaft Position) sensor. Where is the CMP located on this? I presume it is positioned on the rear near the rocker, as indicated by the label "exhaust". Is it sufficiently straightforward to replace?

Is it located under the air filter housing?

Transferred from the section on instructional manuals. This is not a comprehensive, detailed guide as indicated by the stickies.

Perform an initial deletion and see whether it reappears before making any changes, since they often emerge without any apparent cause. If you need to replace it, ensure that you choose an authentic Kia component. Due to the lack of compatibility, Kia and Hyundai vehicles often do not function properly with Pat components.

Thank you. I will provide a concise explanation. Does the image correspond to the proper sensor?

This hyperlink including videos could be beneficial to you. The position of the camshaft sensor in the 2011 Picanto may be found by doing a search on Google.

This is a second generation model from 2011. I suppose the videos are of the first generation.

Apologies. I apologise for any confusion in my previous message. The vehicle in question is a 2011 mk2 model. I believe the videos are of mediocre quality.

Returned promptly after a brief excursion 😞
