Hella 009168431 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

The Hella 009168431 is an OE-quality engine camshaft position sensor (cam sensor) engineered to deliver precise, reliable signal output to the engine control unit (ECU). As a direct-fit replacement for the original component, this sensor helps maintain proper engine operation by continuously monitoring camshaft position and relaying that data to the engine management system.

How It Works:

This camshaft position sensor operates on the Hall-effect principle, scanning a ring gear mounted on the camshaft. As the ring gear rotates, it generates a changing Hall voltage within the sensor head, which is transmitted to the ECU as a digital signal. Working in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor, the ECU uses this data to determine when the first cylinder reaches top dead center, enabling precise calculation of ignition timing and fuel injection points.

Key Features:

• Hall-effect sensor design for accurate, reliable camshaft position detection
• Provides critical data for calculating ignition and fuel injection timing
• Built to meet or exceed OEM specifications for a direct-fit replacement
• Engineered for high measuring precision across a wide ambient temperature range
• Constructed to withstand engine compartment heat, vibration, and harsh operating conditions
• Backed by Hella's original equipment manufacturing expertise
