Hella Camshaft Position Sensor (6PU 009 168-491)

This Hella Camshaft Position Sensor is supplied in OE matching quality. When you select original parts with the Hella label, you know that functional safety, a perfect fit, and product durability are guaranteed.

A vehicle's camshaft sensor is responsible for allowing the engine control to determine the exact position of the crankshaft drive. This information is then used to calculate the ignition point, injection point, and valve timing.

This Hella Camshaft Position Sensor works according to the Hall principle, whereby it scans a ring gear on the camshaft and the gear changes the Hall voltage of the Hall IC in the sensor head. The change in voltage is then transmitted to the control unit so it can be evaluated for the necessary information.

A faulty camshaft sensor can cause issues such as startup difficulties, engine indicator errors, and control unit problems, which is why it's important to replace a faulty camshaft sensor with a high-quality replacement as soon as possible.

Hella's high-quality sensors give the engine management system reliably measured values for great driving comfort.
