Detailed Description

Delphi SS12338 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise crankshaft position data to manage ignition timing, fuel delivery, and engine synchronization. Delphi validates its sensors to OE standards and calibrates them for accurate readings, helping reduce repeat repairs caused by signal errors or inconsistent sensor output. This part number is used across a wide range of Toyota and Lexus applications, including the Toyota Camry, RAV4, Highlander, Sienna, Venza, Prius, Prius Prime, Avalon, and Corolla, plus Lexus ES250, ES300h, NX350h, NX450h+, RX350h, UX200, and UX250h listings.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC1161 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Crankshaft signal loss or intermittent engine speed readings
• Hard starting caused by incorrect crank position input
• Stalling or rough running related to timing signal faults
• Check engine lights tied to crankshaft position sensor codes
• Misfire or synchronization issues in supported Toyota and Lexus vehicles

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. SS12338 uses a single oval female connector with 3 male blade terminals, and the wiring harness is not included. Compare the original sensor and connector style to confirm proper fitment on your Toyota Camry, RAV4, Highlander, or Lexus ES300h application before replacing the part.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE development and product validation methods, and each unit is tested and calibrated to OE standards for consistent signal accuracy.
