Standard Motor Products PC896 Camshaft Position Sensor - 3-Terminal

The Standard Motor Products PC896 is a direct-fit replacement camshaft position sensor engineered to restore precise engine timing and fuel management. Camshaft position sensors (cam sensors) monitor camshaft rotation and relay real-time position data to the engine control module (ECM), enabling accurate sequential fuel injection, distributor-less ignition coil firing sequence, and cylinder-specific knock control.

Key Features:

• 3-Terminal Connector: Plug-and-play fitment with a direct OEM-style connector — no wiring modifications required
• OEM-Grade Accuracy: Engineered to meet or exceed original equipment specifications for reliable, maintenance-free operation
• Advanced EMI Protection: Integrated circuitry provides immunity from stray electromagnetic fields, power spikes, and static electricity, meeting ISO standards
• Durability Tested: Subjected to 48-to-64-hour vibration testing across three planes, plus end-of-line timing, pulse width, and signal amplitude testing
• Over/Under-Voltage Protection: Built-in protection against over-voltage, under-voltage, reverse-voltage, and short circuits
• Fluorocarbon Rubber Oil Seal: Ensures a secure, leak-free installation fit
• IATF 16949-Certified Manufacturing: Produced at Standard's certified facility for consistent quality control

A failing camshaft position sensor can trigger the check engine light, cause rough idle or misfires, reduce fuel economy, and lead to hard starts or stalling. The PC896 restores proper ECM communication to eliminate these symptoms. Standard Motor Products is one of the most trusted names in OEM-quality engine management components, with a sensor program covering hundreds of millions of vehicles across domestic and import applications.
