Product Details

This Denso Engine Camshaft Position Sensor is engineered to deliver accurate camshaft position feedback to the engine control system. That signal helps the ECU manage ignition timing and engine synchronization with greater precision. The 196-1115 is a strong match for drivers servicing Toyota Tacoma, Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Tundra, Toyota Sequoia, and Lexus GS430, LS430, LX470, GX470, SC430, LS400, GS400, and SC400 applications.

Denso’s camshaft position sensor line is built to OE standards and uses sensing technology aimed at consistent detection performance. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC662 and Toyota 90919-05036 for the same application.

Installation Notes

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and mounting location before installation. This sensor uses a female oval connector with blade terminals and does not include a wiring harness or mounting bracket. On many Toyota and Lexus applications, the sensor is located at the cylinder head, so inspect the connector, sealing surfaces, and nearby wiring before replacement.
