Detailed Description

Delphi SS11956 is an OE-style camshaft position sensor backed by Delphi’s century of original equipment experience. Delphi supplies components to major automakers, and that OE heritage is reflected in the fit, connector design, and service-focused construction of this replacement sensor. It is intended for vehicles that require a 3-pin, oval, female-connector camshaft position sensor, including 2006-2011 Buick Lucerne and 2006-2011 Cadillac DTS applications.

Use SS11956 when replacing a failed camshaft position sensor on the Buick Lucerne or Cadillac DTS and when the original connector style and terminal layout must be matched. The part number SS11956 is also useful when searching for a direct replacement by catalog reference.

What It Helps Fix
