The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor in your vehicle is responsible for monitoring and helping 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 deliver 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 essential to correct engine operation. A malfunctioning Engine Camshaft Position Sensor might cause several 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 incorrect ratios of fuel in the engine.
To avoid further issues, a malfunctioning Engine Camshaft Position Sensor should be replaced as soon as possible. Purchase a genuine OEM replacement Engine Camshaft Position Sensor custom-designed for 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 know you're getting a quality product.
