The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor in your Nissan monitors and adjusts the position and rotation of the camshaft — an engine rod that controls engine valve movement and directly contributes to the critical ignition function of your Nissan. The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor helps the camshaft rotate properly to ensure your engine gets the best 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 pistons are pushed down by the fuel and air mixture combustion.
Your Nissan's Engine Camshaft Position Sensor is an essential component in your vehicle's engine operation. A failing Engine Camshaft Position Sensor could result in several noticeable symptoms, like a check engine light that's illuminated, transmission issues when shifting, a decrease in driving performance, a difference in fuel economy, and an engine knocking sound 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. 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 feel confident you're receiving a quality product.
