PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Goss Cam Angle Sensor SC278 (camshaft position sensor) is designed to precisely monitor camshaft position and relay accurate timing information to the engine control unit (ECU) for reliable ignition and fuel delivery.
FUNCTION & BENEFITS
This cam angle sensor works in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to determine the exact relationship between the camshaft and crankshaft. The ECU uses this data to control injector timing and ignition events, helping ensure smooth starting, stable idle, optimal power, and fuel efficiency.
- Provides accurate camshaft position feedback to the ECU
- Supports correct ignition and injection timing
- Helps maintain smooth engine operation and drivability
- Assists in preventing misfires and poor fuel economy
QUALITY & CONSTRUCTION
The SC278 camshaft position sensor is manufactured to meet OEM-equivalent standards for fit and performance. It is engineered to withstand harsh under‑bonnet temperatures, vibration, and exposure typical of modern engine bays.
- OEM-equivalent fitment for straightforward installation
- Durable housing and connector design
- Stable signal output for modern engine management systems
WHEN TO REPLACE
A failing cam angle sensor can cause a range of drivability concerns. Replacement should be considered if diagnostics indicate a camshaft position signal fault or if the sensor is physically damaged.
- Check engine light with camshaft position fault codes
- Hard starting, stalling, or rough idle
- Loss of power or poor fuel economy
Confirm sensor condition using suitable test equipment (e.g. multimeter or scan tool) to verify continuity, voltage, and signal output before replacement.
