Hitachi CPS0145 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor - Front, Rear or Right Upper
Hitachi Camshaft Position Sensor CPS0145
Hitachi CPS0145 is an engine camshaft position sensor built to deliver accurate camshaft timing signals to the ECU. It uses a 3-terminal blade connector with a male connector design for a direct-fit electrical connection on the listed Subaru and Scion applications.
Compatible With 2011-2017 Subaru Forester, 2012-2017 Subaru Impreza, 2013-2017 Subaru Legacy, 2013-2017 Subaru Outback, 2015-2017 Subaru WRX, 2016-2017 Subaru Crosstrek, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2016 Subaru BRZ, 2015 Subaru BRZ, 2013-2014 Subaru BRZ, 2016 Scion FR-S, and 2013-2015 Scion FR-S. This part number, CPS0145, is also referenced for the same application under 22056AA270 and SU003-00414.
Key Features
- Engine camshaft position sensor for precise camshaft signal input
- 3-terminal blade style with male connector
- Built with quality components and materials for extended service intervals
- Application-specific design for listed Subaru and Scion vehicles
- Hitachi part number CPS0145 for straightforward identification
Detailed Description
The Hitachi CPS0145 camshaft position sensor monitors camshaft position and sends the signal to the vehicle ECU so ignition and engine management can operate with the correct timing information. Accurate sensor output is important on Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, Crosstrek, XV Crosstrek, BRZ, and Scion FR-S applications where stable engine data supports consistent operation. Hitachi builds this sensor with high-quality materials and vehicle-specific engineering to match the exact needs of the listed platforms. If you are replacing a failing camshaft sensor on a Subaru BRZ or Scion FR-S, CPS0145 provides the correct electrical interface and application coverage.
What It Helps Solve
- Camshaft position signal loss or erratic sensor readings
- Check engine light concerns related to camshaft sensor performance
- Hard starting caused by incorrect cam timing input to the ECU
- Rough idle or drivability issues tied to inaccurate engine position data
- Intermittent stalling or hesitation from a failing camshaft position sensor
Installation Notes and Tips
Verify the connector style, terminal count, and vehicle position before installation. This sensor uses a 3-terminal blade connector with a male connector, so the harness side must match the OE-style interface. Confirm the exact year, make, model, and sensor location against the vehicle service information before replacing the original unit. For Subaru Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, Crosstrek, XV Crosstrek, and BRZ applications, compare the old sensor to CPS0145 before installation.
Quality Assurance
Hitachi designs this camshaft position sensor to meet the exact needs of each specific vehicle application and uses durable components to support long service life. Part number CPS0145 is engineered as a precise replacement for the listed Subaru and Scion fitments.
