Detailed Description

NTK EC0223 is a replacement engine camshaft position sensor for select Volvo S40 and Volvo V40 models from 2000-2004. It uses a regular-grade sensor design with three terminals, a single rectangular connector, and blade-style terminals to match the original electrical layout. This makes it a practical choice when diagnosing camshaft signal faults or replacing a worn sensor on the Volvo S40 or Volvo V40.

NTK positions this sensor within its Engine Camshaft Position Sensor line, which is part of the brand’s broader technical sensor offering. The part number EC0223 cross-references Standard Ignition PC664 for the same application.

Common Issues This Part Can Address

• Intermittent camshaft position signal loss
• Check engine light related to camshaft sensor faults
• Hard starting caused by incorrect cam timing input
• Rough running from inaccurate engine position data
• Stalling or hesitation linked to sensor failure

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and wire count before installation to confirm match with the original sensor. Inspect the harness connector for corrosion or damaged terminals before connecting the new unit. Confirm the application by year, make, and model before ordering EC0223.

Quality Assurance

NTK states that its technical sensors are tested under thermal shock, vibration, and OBD verification conditions, and are manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications. The brand also notes its OE supplier background in technical sensors for import and domestic vehicles.
