The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor in your vehicle monitors and adjusts the position and rotation of the camshaft — a rod in your engine in charge of controlling engine valve movement and that helps with the critical ignition function in your Nissan. The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor on your vehicle helps the camshaft rotate correctly to ensure your engine provides optimal fuel efficiency.

The Engine Camshaft Position Sensor helps send the correct amount of fuel and spark to the engine by evaluating how many cylinders are in their power stroke — when the pistons are pushed down by the fuel and air mixture combustion.

A failing Engine Camshaft Position Sensor could result in several noticeable symptoms, like a check engine light that's illuminated, transmission issues when the vehicle is shifting gears, decreased driving performance, changes in fuel economy, and a knocking sound in the engine due to improper ratios of fuel in the engine.
