Detailed Description

The Delphi SS10816 camshaft position sensor is designed for Nissan Frontier, Altima, and Sentra vehicles in the listed fitment range. It helps the engine control system monitor camshaft position so the ECU can manage ignition timing and fuel delivery with the correct signal input. If you are replacing a failing cam sensor on a 2005-2019 Nissan Frontier, a 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, or a 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, this part number provides a direct replacement option.

This part cross-references Hitachi Automotive CPS0003 for the same application. The SS10816 also cross-references Standard Ignition PC464 for the same application.
