Key Features

• Engine camshaft position sensor for ECU timing input
• 3-terminal blade connector with male terminal gender
• Built with quality materials for extended service life
• Application-specific design for listed Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles
• Hitachi part number CPS0141 for catalog and service lookup

Detailed Description

Hitachi CPS0141 is engineered to provide precise camshaft position feedback so the engine control unit can manage ignition and fuel strategy with the correct timing information. This sensor is specified for a broad range of vehicles, including Ford Fusion, Ford Escape, Mazda 3, Mazda 6, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Lincoln MKZ applications. The sensor construction uses high-quality components and materials to support consistent operation over the service interval, and the fitment is matched to the exact vehicle application rather than a universal design. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Issues This Sensor Can Address

• Camshaft signal loss or erratic sensor readings
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions related to timing input
• Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft position sensor faults
• Rough running caused by incorrect ECU timing data
• Intermittent drivability issues on Ford Fusion, Mazda 3, and Mazda MX-5 Miata applications

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector style, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. Confirm the exact year and model match for Ford Escape, Ford Transit Connect, Mazda 5, Mazda CX-7, and other listed vehicles, including the 2019 Ford Escape note through 08/13/2019. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damaged terminals before connecting the new sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Hitachi designs this camshaft position sensor to meet the specific requirements of each listed vehicle application. The use of quality materials and application-matched construction supports reliable signal transmission to the ECU and consistent service performance.
