Detailed Description

This camshaft position sensor is used to monitor camshaft timing information for engine management systems on Subaru BRZ, Forester, Impreza, Legacy, Outback, WRX, and XV Crosstrek applications. The Hall sensor design provides the signal input needed by the engine control system to track camshaft position accurately. The listed dimensions and 3-pole configuration help confirm the correct replacement when matching the OE number V63-72-0018 or 22056AA270.

VEMO V63-72-0018 is a fitment-based replacement for 2011-2015 Subaru Forester, 2012-2015 Subaru Impreza, 2013-2015 Subaru Legacy, 2013-2015 Subaru Outback, 2013-2015 Subaru XV Crosstrek, 2015 Subaru BRZ, and 2015 Subaru WRX.
