Internatonal School Bus DT 466E Cam Sensor Replacement

Today we're working on a Thomas/ International

School Bus that requires a Cam Sensor. It's located in the front of the engine in
the gear cover and reads engine rotation sending a signal to the Engine Electronic
Control Unit. The Engine will not run with a failed cam sensor and the Pro-link
diagnostic tool will verify the sensor failure.

The depth is checked with a dial indicator that has been calibrated according to the
new sensor part number. Shims may be removed or added to get the proper
clearance which is between .025 and .030 of an inch. The belt has to be removed
and the engine rotated twice to check the runout and get an accurate reading.
Here's a look at the calibrating kit that must be used to read the depth of the bore
where the sensor is mounted. There can't be any interference fit, this will damage
the sensor. The new sensor is seen here on the left while the rest of the calibration
tools are nestled in the carrying case.
That's all there is to it when changing the cam sensor on a DT 466E Diesel Engine
on a International School Bus.
