Detailed Description

This engine camshaft position sensor monitors camshaft position and sends the signal the ECU uses for ignition and fuel control timing. When the original sensor fails, the engine may lose synchronization data and run poorly. Dorman 962-201 is engineered to match original fit and function, making it a straightforward replacement for Buick Lucerne and Cadillac DTS models within the listed years. The sensor uses a single oval connector and standard blade-style terminals for a factory-style connection.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC727 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Check engine light related to camshaft position sensor faults
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle or intermittent stalling
• Incorrect camshaft signal input to the ECU
