Delphi SS12381 Engine Camshaft Position Sensor

OE-Style Camshaft Position Sensor

Delphi SS12381 is an engine camshaft position sensor built for accurate signal reporting in select Ford applications. It uses a black housing, a rectangular connector, and a 3-terminal blade-style interface for a direct replacement on supported vehicles.

Compatible with 2010-2014 Ford F-150, 2011-2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty, 2011-2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty, and 2017-2019 Ford E-350 Super Duty. This Delphi camshaft position sensor is calibrated to OE standards to support consistent engine timing input and reliable sensor readings.

Detailed Description

Delphi SS12381 is engineered for Ford F-150, Ford F-250 Super Duty, Ford F-350 Super Duty, and Ford E-350 Super Duty applications that require a camshaft position sensor with OE-style calibration. Delphi validates its sensors to OE standards so the signal output stays accurate for the engine control system. If you are replacing a failing cam sensor on a 2010-2014 Ford F-150 or a 2011-2019 Ford Super Duty truck, SS12381 provides the correct connector style and terminal layout for the listed applications.

This part cross-references Standard Ignition PC852 for the same application.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Check engine light related to camshaft position sensor signal faults
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle caused by incorrect cam timing input
• Intermittent stalling or hesitation
• Engine performance issues tied to inaccurate sensor readings

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify connector shape, terminal count, and vehicle application before installation. Compare the old sensor to SS12381 to confirm the rectangular connector, 3-terminal layout, and mounting style match your original part. Follow the included instruction sheet and inspect the connector and wiring for corrosion or damage before installing the new sensor.

Quality Assurance

Delphi backs this sensor with OE development and product validation methods. Each sensor is tested and calibrated to OE standards to help maintain accurate readings in supported Ford applications.
