No. The sensors are both just hall effect switches, they magnetically read a series of teeth or notches on the crankshaft and camshaft sprockets. They can be replaced without doing anything besides replacing them and resetting any codes they may have caused.

The best way to do that is to just disconnect the battery for the entire time youre changing the sensors. It should clear the codes and start the PCM learning over.
