Standard Ignition PC1023 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

Engine Camshaft Position Sensor for Ford Applications

Standard Ignition PC1023 is an engine camshaft position sensor built for direct replacement in select Ford vehicles. It uses an integrated A/D converter and digital signal processing with a dynamically adaptive switch point to improve signal accuracy, while protected circuitry helps resist stray electromagnetic fields and power spikes.

Compatible With 2014-2021 Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, and Ford EcoSport applications, this sensor supports precise camshaft timing feedback for drivability and engine management. The oval, plug-in connector with 3 male blade terminals supports a straightforward electrical connection.

Key Features

• Engine camshaft position sensor for ignition and engine timing input
• Integrated A/D converter and digital signal processing for accurate output
• Dynamically adaptive switch point for improved signal operation
• Circuit protection against electromagnetic interference and power spikes
• Custom magnetic circuit calibration for timing accuracy between target wheel and sensor output
• Oval connector shape with plug-in connection
• 3-terminal male blade design

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PC1023 is engineered for Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, and Ford EcoSport models that require a camshaft position sensor with stable signal delivery and precise timing feedback. The sensor is performance-tested during calibration to help maintain consistent output between the target wheel and sensor. It also undergoes environmental, endurance, and end-of-line testing for timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude to support reliable operation.

This part cross-references Standard Motor Products (e.g., 5S15088, 73840) for the same application.

What It Helps Resolve

• Camshaft position sensor fault codes
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle caused by inaccurate cam timing input
• Intermittent stalling related to sensor signal loss
• Check engine light concerns tied to camshaft position feedback

Installation Notes and Tips

• Fits 2014-2017 Ford Fiesta, N/A
• Fits 2015-2018 Ford Focus, N/A
• Fits 2018-2021 Ford EcoSport, N/A; requires programming for installation
• Verify connector shape, terminal count, and terminal type before installation
• Follow vehicle-specific diagnostic and relearn procedures when required

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition subjects this sensor to environmental, endurance, and end-of-line testing to verify timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude. That testing helps support consistent performance across Ford Fiesta, Ford Focus, and Ford EcoSport applications.
