Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PC1161 is a crankshaft position sensor used to monitor crankshaft rotation and send engine speed and position data to the control system. That signal supports ignition timing and fuel delivery control on applications such as Toyota Camry, Highlander, Sienna, Venza, RAV4, Corolla, Avalon, and Lexus ES300h, UX250h, and UX200. This part cross-references Beck/Arnley 180-0802 and Delphi SS12338 for the same application.

With its oval female connector, 3-terminal blade design, and included mounting bracket, PC1161 is built for straightforward OE-style replacement where the original sensor uses the same configuration. The part number PC1161 is also a useful reference when verifying the correct crankshaft position sensor for Toyota and Lexus service work.
