Spectra S10230 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Spectra S10230 Camshaft Position Sensor

The Spectra S10230 engine camshaft position sensor helps provide the timing signal the engine control system uses to coordinate ignition and fuel delivery. It is a direct-fit replacement for a wide range of Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda applications, including Hyundai Sonata, Tucson, Santa Fe, and Kia Optima, Sportage, and Sorento.

Key Features

• Engine camshaft position sensor for ignition and fuel synchronization
• Supports accurate cylinder identification for sequential engine operation
• Direct replacement for select Hyundai, Kia, and Mazda vehicles
• Cross-references Standard Ignition PC719 and Valeo 715278
• Part number S10230 for catalog and fitment lookup

How It Works

The camshaft position sensor reports camshaft position data to the engine management system so the ECU can determine which cylinder is firing and coordinate injector and coil timing. On vehicles such as the 2007-2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2015 Hyundai Tucson, and 2006-2016 Kia Optima, a stable cam signal is important for consistent starting, smooth idle, and proper engine timing control. Spectra S10230 is built for applications where the original sensor has failed or is no longer reading accurately.

Common Symptoms It May Address

• Hard starting or extended crank time
• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Rough idle or intermittent stalling
• Misfire or timing-related drivability concerns
• Loss of synchronization between fuel and ignition events

Installation Notes

Verify the connector style and engine application before installation. Confirm the vehicle build date where notes are listed, such as 2013 Kia Forte5 through 03/31/2013 or 2011-2012 Kia Sportage from 12/22/2010. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and recheck engine operation. Fits 2013-2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport, 2007-2015 Hyundai Sonata, 2011-2015 Hyundai Tucson, 2006-2016 Kia Optima, 2011-2015 Kia Sorento, and other listed applications.

Quality Assurance

Spectra supplies replacement engine management components for listed OE-style applications. This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC719 and Valeo 715278 for the same application.
