Two camshaft position sensors in total — one located on each bank of the engine’s DOHC configuration. This setup applies across the 2014 Equinox’s typical engine options, including the 2.4L inline-four and the 3.6L V6.
The following overview explains the sensor count by engine option, where they are typically found, and what to do if they’re malfunctioning.
Engines and CMP sensor counts
Before listing the specifics, note that the 2014 Equinox offered DOHC engines that generally use two camshaft position sensors—one on each bank. The details below reflect the common configurations for that model year.
- 2.4L EcoTec inline-4 (DOHC): two camshaft position sensors, typically mounted near each camshaft on the cylinder heads (one for each bank).
- 3.6L V6 (DOHC): two camshaft position sensors, one on each bank to monitor cam position for that bank’s camshafts.
In short, both primary engine options for the 2014 Equinox employ two camshaft position sensors in total.
Where to find and how they work
Locations
CAM sensors are usually situated at the front of the engine on or near the timing cover or the cylinder heads, facing a reluctor or gear on the camshaft. Exact placement can vary by engine variant and production date.
Troubleshooting and replacement tips
If you notice symptoms like rough idling, misfires, or timing-related trouble codes, inspect the wiring and connectors in addition to the sensors themselves. A professional diagnostic scan is recommended to confirm sensor health and timing alignment.
Summary: For the 2014 Chevrolet Equinox, expect two camshaft position sensors regardless of whether you have the 2.4L or the 3.6L engine. Location and exact mounting can vary by engine variant, but the two-sensor setup is standard.
