Detailed Product Overview

Hitachi CPS0197 is an engine camshaft position sensor engineered to provide consistent camshaft position readings to the vehicle’s electrical control unit. Accurate sensor input is essential for proper engine operation, and this unit is built to meet the specific requirements of the listed Subaru fitments. It cross-references Subaru 22056AA230 for the same application. Use CPS0197 when servicing Subaru Legacy, Subaru Outback, or Subaru Tribeca models that require a front or right lower camshaft position sensor.

What It Helps Address

  • Hard starting caused by incorrect camshaft position input
  • Rough idle related to inconsistent timing signals
  • Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft sensor faults
  • Stalling or hesitation from unreliable ECU signal data
  • Engine performance issues on Subaru Legacy, Outback, and Tribeca models

Installation Notes and Fitment

Compatible With:

  • Fits 2016-2019 Subaru Legacy, right lower
  • Fits 2016-2019 Subaru Outback, right lower
  • Fits 2010-2014 Subaru Legacy, front
  • Fits 2010-2014 Subaru Outback, front
  • Fits 2008-2014 Subaru Tribeca, front

Verify connector style, terminal count, and sensor location before installation. The CPS0197 uses a 3-terminal male pin connector, so matching the original sensor configuration is important for proper fit and signal transfer.
