Delphi SS12435 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Delphi Camshaft Position Sensor SS12435

Delphi SS12435 is an engine camshaft position sensor built for accurate OE-style signal output on select Mercedes-Benz applications. It uses a black housing with a 3-pin male terminal layout, an oval connector, and a single connector interface for a direct-fit replacement.

Compatible with Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, GLC43 AMG, E450, S450, S560e, SL450, SLC43 AMG, GLE400, GLS450, E400, E43 AMG, GLE550e, CLS400, S550e, C450 AMG, GL450, GLE450 AMG, SL400, C400, and ML400 applications, this sensor supports proper camshaft timing input to the engine control system. Delphi calibrates and tests its sensors to OE standards to help maintain accurate readings.

Key Features

• Engine camshaft position sensor for select Mercedes-Benz vehicles
• Black sensor body with oval connector design
• 3-terminal male pin configuration
• Single connector interface for straightforward replacement
• OE-standard testing and calibration for consistent signal output
• Package contents include the engine camshaft position sensor and instruction sheet

Detailed Description

Delphi SS12435 is engineered for vehicles that rely on precise camshaft position data for ignition and engine management. As a camshaft position sensor, it helps the ECU monitor camshaft timing so the engine can maintain correct synchronization between fuel delivery, ignition, and valve timing strategies. This part number is used across multiple Mercedes-Benz models, including C43 AMG, GLC43 AMG, E400, and S450 applications, making it a practical OE-style replacement for common drivability repairs.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC1062 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Hard starting caused by incorrect camshaft timing input
• Rough idle from inconsistent sensor readings
• Stalling or hesitation tied to camshaft signal loss
• Engine performance issues on Mercedes-Benz C43 AMG, GLC43 AMG, and E400 applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and engine application before installation. The SS12435 uses a 1-connector, 3-terminal male pin design with an oval connector, so matching the original sensor interface is important for proper fitment. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damage before installing the new sensor, and follow the included instruction sheet during replacement.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE development and product validation methods. Each sensor is tested and calibrated to OE standards to support accurate readings and help reduce repeat repairs.
