The SS12159 part number is a practical OE-style replacement when diagnosing camshaft signal faults or restoring proper engine synchronization.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC969 for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Camshaft position sensor fault codes
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle caused by incorrect cam signal input
• Intermittent stalling related to sensor signal loss
• Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft position monitoring

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. The Delphi SS12159 uses a female oval connector with 3 blade terminals and does not include a wiring harness or mounting bracket. Compare the original sensor and connector layout on the vehicle to confirm proper fitment on your Subaru application.
