Goss Cam Angle Sensor SC497 – Camshaft Position Sensor

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Goss Cam Angle Sensor SC497 is a direct replacement camshaft position sensor designed to provide accurate camshaft position data to the engine control unit (ECU). This ensures precise fuel injection and ignition timing for stable idle, strong performance and improved efficiency.

FUNCTION

This cam angle sensor works in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to monitor the camshaft angle relative to the crankshaft. The ECU uses this information to correctly sequence injector operation and ignition events so each cylinder fires at the optimal time.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Accurate camshaft position feedback for precise ignition and fuel timing
• Manufactured to OEM-equivalent standards for fit and performance
• Designed to operate reliably in harsh under‑bonnet conditions
• Helps restore smooth starting, idle quality and throttle response
• Supports optimal fuel efficiency and reduced emissions when functioning correctly

WHEN TO REPLACE

A failing cam angle sensor can cause symptoms such as hard starting, misfires, rough idle, loss of power, poor fuel economy or an illuminated check engine light. If testing with a multimeter indicates incorrect continuity, voltage or resistance, replacement of the sensor is recommended.

APPLICATION NOTES

Use the vehicle compatibility or fitment guide to confirm that part number SC497 is correct for your application before purchase. Professional installation and correct diagnostic procedures are recommended to ensure optimal performance.
