Detailed Description

Camshaft position sensor performance is critical to how the engine computer determines which cylinder is firing. The Spectra S10162 supports proper synchronization between the fuel injector and coil firing sequence, helping maintain stable engine operation on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, Cadillac CTS, and Chevrolet Camaro. This sensor is also used across heavy-duty and full-size GM platforms, including Silverado 2500 HD, Sierra 3500 HD, Express 2500, Savana 3500, Tahoe, Yukon, and Suburban applications. If you are replacing a failing cam sensor on a GM truck, SUV, van, or performance car, S10162 is a direct replacement to verify against your original part number.

What It Helps Solve

• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle or intermittent stalling
• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Misfire concerns tied to timing or synchronization errors
• Loss of engine performance caused by inaccurate cam signal input

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the original sensor connector, mounting style, and engine application before installation. For best results, inspect the wiring harness and connector for corrosion, oil intrusion, or damaged terminals before replacing the sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and verify proper engine operation during a road test. Fits 2010-2019 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 HD, 2010-2019 GMC Sierra 2500 HD, and 2010-2014 Chevrolet Tahoe applications, along with many other listed GM vehicles.
