Porsche Engine Camshaft Position Sensor - Genuine Porsche PAB907601A

Product Information

The engine camshaft position sensor is used to aid the engine ECU in monitoring the position of the engine camshaft. The feedback from this sensor is used for the optimization of the engine ignition timing. This sensor is sometimes referred to as a CMP sensor and is critical for proper engine operation. Failure of the camshaft position sensor can cause several driveability complaints including stumbling, hesitation on acceleration, and power loss, as well as potentially cause hard start on no-start conditions.

• Check engine light (CEL)
• Extended crank or no-start condition
• Poor driveability including stumbling, hesitation on acceleration, and power loss.

About Genuine Porsche

The original parts used by Porsche to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Porsche” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Porsche, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Porsche Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Porsche are not necessarily manufactured by Porsche. No cause for concern, as Porsche designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Porsche for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Porsche parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Porsche logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
