The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor in your vehicle monitors and helps adjust the position and rotation of the camshaft — an engine rod that controls engine valve movement and directly assists in the essential ignition function of your Nissan. The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor helps the camshaft on your vehicle 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 evaluating how many 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 Nissan is an essential component in your vehicle's engine operation. A failing Engine Camshaft Position Sensor could result in several noticeable symptoms, including an illuminated check engine light, diminished driving performance, transmission issues while the vehicle is shifting, a decrease in fuel economy, and a knocking sound coming from the engine due to improper ratios of fuel in the engine.
To avoid further issues, a malfunctioning Engine Camshaft Position Sensor should be replaced as soon as possible. Shop OEM parts to find a replacement Nissan Engine Camshaft Position Sensor custom-made to fit your vehicle. In addition, you'll get a 12-month/12,000-mile warranty, whichever occurs first, when you purchase your replacement part from Nissan Parts so you can purchase your quality part with confidence.
