Detailed Description

Delphi SS11970 is an OE-style camshaft position sensor engineered for accurate camshaft signal feedback to the engine control system. It is used on select Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Cayenne models, including applications such as Fits 2005-2019 Porsche 911, N/A; Fits 2005-2016 Porsche Boxster, N/A; Fits 2006-2012 Porsche Cayman, N/A; and Fits 2009-2010 Porsche Cayenne, N/A. Delphi’s OE heritage and supplier experience are reflected in the sensor’s design and application coverage. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC737 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Camshaft position signal loss or erratic sensor readings
• Check engine light concerns related to camshaft timing input
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions tied to sensor failure
• Rough idle or drivability issues caused by incorrect timing data
• Intermittent stalling or misfire-related symptoms from faulty sensor output

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. This Delphi SS11970 uses an oval female connector with 3 blade terminals, so matching the electrical interface is important for proper fitment. Review the included instruction sheet and confirm vehicle-specific engine notes for Cayenne applications, including engine-number restrictions where listed. The sensor installs without a wiring harness or mounting bracket.

Quality Assurance

Delphi builds this camshaft position sensor with OE-focused engineering and application knowledge developed through decades of supplying original equipment to major automakers. The SS11970 is intended to meet the fit and signal requirements of the listed Porsche applications, including Porsche 911, Boxster, Cayman, and Cayenne models.
