CARR142 Posted October 6, 2018 Report Share Posted October 6, 2018 axeman_87, are you using 5-20w or 5-30w oil? 5-30 is recommended. 5-20w is used for CAFE results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 7, 2018 Report Share Posted October 7, 2018 5W-20 is not used by Ford or recommended for the 2.7L Engine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman_87 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'm using Pennzoil full synthetic 5W30. Oil changes done by Jiffy Lube. The light and code came on again this morning. Cleared as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 11, 2018 Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 Have you checked associated wiring to make sure nothing is loose, dirty, or has bent/pushedin pins? Just clearing codes is a quickie thing, but not if the codes keep returning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman_87 Posted October 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2018 I'm not even sure where to look for this sensor, it's all wiring and stuff jammed under there. Could someone point out where it is? I'll check the connections then will see if the code comes back again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWWPerfA_ZN0W Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 (edited) Not sure which exact sensor on Bank 1 this code refers to, but probably the intake since it is the "A" sensor? Bank 1 is referred to as LH (lefthand), Bank2 is referred to as RH (righthand). Basically you have to remove the appearance cover to get to these sensors. (For the sensors on Bank 2 you would in addition need to remove the air cleaner outlet and CAC pipe on that side, a bit more involved.) The intake and exhaust sensors are right next to each other. LH (lefthand) Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensors Remove the nut next to the oil fill cap. Torque: 42 lb.in (4.8 Nm) Remove the bolt at the rear of the appearance cover (next to firewall) and remove the engine appearance cover. Torque: 93 lb.in (10.5 Nm) Remember to oil the sensor O-Rings before reinstalling. 5W30 engine oil. https://parts.ford.com/shop/en/us/sensorsdevices/sensor-camshaft-position-7871083-1 Edited October 12, 2018 by WWWPerfA_ZN0W Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gadget88 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Share Posted June 6, 2019 (edited) Just got Error P0365 and cleared then got P0369 a week later. It is stating that it is sensor B on Bank 1. Is that sensor 2 on the diagram? Edited June 6, 2019 by Gadget88 update Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
