Where is the camshaft position actuator of the 2009 Geely Emgrand located?

The camshaft position actuator of the 2009 Geely Emgrand is located on the right front side of the engine cylinder. The camshaft position sensor is a sensing device, also known as a synchronization signal sensor, which serves as a cylinder identification and positioning device. It inputs the camshaft position signal to the ECU and is the main control signal for ignition. The methods for measuring the condition of the camshaft position sensor are as follows: 1. The camshaft sensor is generally a three-wire Hall sensor, with one wire being a 12v or 5v power line, one signal line, and one ground line; 2. Unplug the connector, turn the key to the second position, and use a voltmeter to confirm that the power line has voltage output. Use the meter to identify the ground line. Connect one probe of the voltmeter to the confirmed power line and the other probe to the remaining two lines. The line that shows voltage is the ground line, and the remaining one is the signal line; 3. At this point, turn off the key and disconnect the signal line, plug the connector back in, start the engine, and measure the signal line and ground line to see if there is a signal voltage. The output voltage should be less than the supply voltage. If there is no signal voltage output, the sensor is faulty.
On the 2009 Geely Emgrand, the camshaft position actuator is usually located near the front of the engine where it connects to the camshaft sprocket. I've driven similar models myself, and you can spot it right away when you pop the hood. It's secured near the valve mechanism, looking like a small box with wires attached. The design places it in a visible spot to make valve timing adjustments easier, which helps improve fuel efficiency. If you're planning to inspect it yourself, remember to disconnect the battery's negative terminal first to avoid short circuits. Then, use a wrench to gently loosen the mounting screws for access. A common issue is idle shaking caused by dust buildup or loose wiring—I cleaned mine once and it fixed the problem. The location is pretty straightforward to find, but be careful around the nearby pulley to avoid scraping your hands during the process.
