Sensor, camshaft position

The camshaft position sensor signals the engine control unit about camshaft timing, enabling precise fuel injection and ignition control. PartStall stocks 3,459 sensors covering a wide range of passenger cars and light commercial vehicles.

• Compatibility: verify using your VIN, engine code, and production year — connector type and mounting geometry can differ between engine variants of the same model.
• OE number: cross-referencing the original part number is the most reliable way to confirm fitment.
• Connector and pin count: check that the replacement sensor's connector matches the original to avoid fitment issues.
• Part quality: sensors directly affect engine management; choose parts from reputable manufacturers.

How do I know if the camshaft position sensor is faulty? Common signs include rough idle, hard starting, illuminated engine warning light, and fault codes P0340–P0344. Diagnosis should be confirmed with a diagnostic tool.

Is the camshaft position sensor the same as the crankshaft position sensor? No — they are separate sensors in different locations; both are required for correct engine operation and cannot be substituted for each other.

Can I replace the sensor myself? On many vehicles the replacement is straightforward, but clearing fault codes with a diagnostic device afterwards may be necessary.
