Detailed Description

Hella 009121571 is an engine camshaft position sensor for Volvo vehicles, engineered around a Hall-effect sensing design and a 12V electrical system. The 3-pin connector and 160 mm lead length make it a direct-match service part for the listed Volvo applications, including Volvo V70, Volvo C70, Volvo S70, Volvo S90, Volvo V90, Volvo 850, and Volvo 960. If you are replacing a failing Volvo camshaft position sensor, this Hella unit provides the signal input the engine control system uses to monitor camshaft position and timing.

This part cross-references BBB Industries 19009 and VEMO V95-72-0040 for the same application. Hella 009121571 is a practical OE-style replacement for Volvo camshaft sensor service on the covered model years.
