Engine Camshaft Position Sensor for Hyundai and Kia

Standard Ignition PC1231 is a new engine camshaft position sensor for the exhaust position on select Hyundai and Kia applications. It uses a female oval plug-in connector with three male blade terminals for a direct-fit electrical connection.

Key Features

• Engine camshaft position sensor for exhaust-side applications
• New replacement part from Standard Ignition
• Female oval connector with plug-in design
• 3-terminal blade connection for secure signal transfer
• No mounting bracket included
• Cross-reference part numbers include 393502M400 and CPSA701

Detailed Description

Standard Ignition PC1231 is built for exhaust camshaft position sensing on a range of Hyundai and Kia vehicles, including the Hyundai Elantra, Sonata, Tucson, Venue, Kona, Santa Fe, Accent, Creta, and the Kia K5, Rio, Sorento, and Seltos. This camshaft position sensor helps the engine control system monitor camshaft timing so the ECU can manage ignition and fuel delivery with the correct signal input. If you are replacing a worn or failed exhaust camshaft position sensor on a Hyundai Sonata or Kia K5, PC1231 provides the correct connector style and terminal layout for the listed applications.

This part cross-references 393502M400 and CPSA701 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Check engine light related to camshaft position sensor faults
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle or unstable engine operation
• Intermittent stalling or hesitation
• Timing signal errors affecting engine management

Installation Notes and Tips

• Verify exhaust-position fitment before ordering; this sensor is listed for exhaust applications only.
• Confirm the connector shape, terminal count, and terminal type match the original sensor.
• Inspect the harness connector for corrosion, bent terminals, or damaged locking tabs before installation.
• Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and confirm proper engine operation.

Quality Assurance

Standard Ignition PC1231 is a new replacement sensor built to match the listed OE-style fitment requirements for Hyundai and Kia applications. Confirm vehicle year, model, and exhaust position against the fitment list before installation.
