The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor in your vehicle monitors and adjusts the position and rotation of the camshaft — a rod in your engine in charge of controlling engine valve movement and that directly assists in the essential ignition function of your Nissan. The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor on your vehicle helps the camshaft rotate correctly to make sure your engine has optimal fuel efficiency.
The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor helps give the right amount of spark and fuel to the engine by assessing which cylinders are in their power stroke — when the piston is being pushed down by the combusting fuel and air mixture.
The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor on your vehicle is essential to correct engine operation. A declining Engine Camshaft Position Sensor may cause several noticeable symptoms, including an illuminated check engine light, transmission issues when the vehicle is shifting gears, decreased driving performance, a decrease in fuel economy, and a knocking sound coming from the engine due to incorrect ratios of fuel in the engine.
A failing Engine Camshaft Position Sensor should be replaced right away to avoid further issues. Purchase a genuine OEM replacement Engine Camshaft Position Sensor custom-designed for your vehicle. Additionally, every part purchased from Nissan Parts comes with a 12,000-mile/12-month warranty, whichever comes first, so you can know you're getting a quality product.
