VDO Gauges Camshaft Position Sensor

The VDO Camshaft Position Sensor (also called a cam sensor, cam position sensor or camshaft reference sensor) is an engine management component. It monitors the position of the camshaft and sends that data to the engine control module. The ECM uses the signal to time fuel injection and ignition and to help the engine start and run smoothly.

Key Features:

• Engineered as an OE-style replacement sensor to restore accurate camshaft position signals
• Supports correct fuel injection and ignition timing for smooth running and dependable starting
• Built to withstand the heat, vibration and oil exposure of the engine compartment
• Helps clear check engine light faults and rough running caused by a failing sensor
• Made by VDO, a long-established OE supplier of automotive sensors and electronics

A worn or failing camshaft position sensor can cause hard starting, stalling, hesitation, reduced power or limp mode. It can also set a fault code and turn on the check engine light. Replacing it with a VDO sensor helps restore normal engine operation. Select the child item that matches your application.
