Failure Symptoms
If your camshaft position sensor is failing, you may experience one or more of the following symptoms:
- Check Engine Light (CEL): Illumination with diagnostic trouble codes related to camshaft position (e.g., P0340, P0341).
- Hard Starting or Extended Cranking: Engine takes longer than normal to start, especially when warm.
- Rough Idle or Misfires: Engine runs unevenly at idle, or misfires occur during acceleration.
- Loss of Power / Poor Acceleration: Noticeable reduction in engine performance and throttle response.
- Increased Fuel Consumption: Poor fuel economy due to improper ignition and injection timing.
- Engine Stalling: Intermittent stalling, particularly at low speeds or when coming to a stop.

Installation & Maintenance Recommendations
⚠️ IMPORTANT: Professional Installation Recommended
Pre-Installation Checklist:
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal before starting work.
- Allow the engine to cool completely before removing the sensor.
- Clean the area around the sensor to prevent debris from entering the engine.
- Inspect the wiring harness connector for damage or corrosion.
Installation Guidelines (Reference workshop manual):
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Loe the camshaft position sensor on the cylinder head (typically near the camshaft pulley or timing cover).
- Disconnect the electrical connector from the sensor.
- Unscrew the mounting bolt (if applicable) and carefully remove the old sensor.
- Clean the mounting surface and sensor bore thoroughly.
- Apply a small amount of clean engine oil to the new sensor's O-ring/seal.
- Install the new sensor into the bore and hand-tighten.
- Torque the mounting bolt to manufacturer's specified torque settings (refer to vehicle-specific workshop manual).
- Reconnect the electrical connector securely until it clicks.
- Reconnect the negative battery terminal.
- Start the engine and check for diagnostic trouble codes using a scan tool.
- Clear any stored codes and test drive to verify proper operation.
Maintenance Schedule:
- Inspection: Every 50,000 km / 12 months. Check for Check Engine Light, rough running, or hard starting.
- Replacement: Recommended immediately if experiencing failure symptoms or diagnostic trouble codes (P0340/P0341).
- Note: It is recommended to replace the sensor if the timing belt/chain service is performed.
Packaging & Supply
- Packaging: Each sensor is securely packed in a protective carton to prevent shipping damage.
