• Loss of accurate camshaft position input to the ECU

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and harness routing before installation. Compare the old sensor to the new Delphi SS11739 to confirm the rectangular female connector and 3-terminal blade layout match the vehicle. Clean the mounting area and inspect the wiring path for heat damage, oil contamination, or brittle insulation before connecting the harness.
