Hella 009168631 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

The Hella 009168631 is an engine camshaft position sensor engineered to deliver OE-level accuracy and long-term reliability. Operating on the Hall-effect principle, the sensor scans the camshaft's ring gear and converts rotational position data into a precise electronic signal transmitted to the engine control unit (ECU).

The ECU uses this signal alongside crankshaft position data to determine exact piston and valve timing, enabling accurate ignition timing and fuel injection control for optimal engine efficiency and performance. A failed or degraded camshaft position sensor commonly triggers diagnostic trouble codes such as P0340, P0341, or P0342 and may cause symptoms including hard starting, engine misfires, rough idle, or illumination of the check engine light.
