Spectra S10286 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor - Upper

Spectra S10286 Camshaft Position Sensor

The Spectra S10286 engine camshaft position sensor helps provide the timing signal the engine control system uses to identify cylinder firing order. It is a direct-fit ignition sensor for select Chrysler, Dodge, and Mitsubishi applications, including 1995-1996 Chrysler Sebring, 1995-1996 Dodge Avenger, and 1995-1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse.

Key Features

• Camshaft position sensor for ignition timing and cylinder synchronization
• Supports injector and coil firing sequence control through cam signal input
• Direct replacement for select upper-position applications
• Fits 1995-1996 Chrysler Sebring, Upper
• Fits 1995-1996 Dodge Avenger, Upper
• Fits 1995-1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse, N/A

Detailed Description

The Spectra S10286 is an engine camshaft position sensor used in ignition and fuel management systems to report camshaft position to the engine control module. That signal helps the system determine which cylinder is firing so ignition timing, injector sequencing, and coil operation stay synchronized. This part number, S10286, is listed for select 1995-1996 Chrysler Sebring and Dodge Avenger upper-position applications, along with 1995-1996 Mitsubishi Eclipse coverage.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC45 for the same application.

What It Helps Resolve

• Hard starting caused by an inaccurate camshaft signal
• Intermittent misfire related to timing input loss
• Rough idle from inconsistent cylinder synchronization
• Check engine light conditions tied to cam sensor faults
• Fuel injector and coil sequencing errors

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the connector style, mounting location, and position before installation. For these applications, confirm whether the vehicle uses the upper sensor location or the listed N/A fitment before ordering. Inspect the harness and related ignition components for damage or corrosion so the replacement sensor can operate with a clean signal.

Quality Assurance

Spectra supplies ignition and sensor components for engine management service applications. The S10286 is built for the listed vehicle fitments and supports the camshaft signal function required by the ignition system.
