Ford Camshaft Position Sensor 1F1Z-6B288-AA

Ford Camshaft Position Sensor 1F1Z-6B288-AA – Replacement CMP Sensor for Ford

Dhs. 123.05

This Ford camshaft position sensor is a replacement sensor listed under Ford part number 1F1Z-6B288-AA (also written 1F1Z6B288AA). It is a new aftermarket sensor, sold as a single unit. Easy Life Markets sells it for Ford owners and workshops replacing a faulty camshaft position (CMP) sensor.

The original listing title described this part as a crankshaft position sensor. However, the supplier's own specification lists the type as a camshaft position sensor, and Ford uses the 6B288 base number for camshaft position sensors. We have corrected the title so it matches the part.

What the Sensor Does

The camshaft position sensor tells the engine control unit where the camshaft is in its rotation. The computer uses this along with the crankshaft position signal to time fuel injection and identify which cylinder is firing. When the sensor fails, the engine may be hard to start, run roughly or stall.

What Is Included

1 x camshaft position sensor

The product photos show the sensor body, mounting flange and connector from several angles.

Checking Fitment

The supplier lists this sensor for Ford vehicles but does not give specific models or years. Ford used the 1F1Z-6B288 sensor family on a number of vehicles in the early 2000s, and variants with different suffixes exist. To make sure this sensor suits your vehicle:

Check the part number on your old sensor, or look it up in a Ford parts catalogue using your VIN.
Compare the photos with your old sensor: body shape, mounting flange and connector.
Confirm it is the camshaft sensor you need to replace, not the crankshaft sensor, which is a different part.

If you are not sure, contact us with your vehicle details before ordering.

Common Signs of a Failing CMP Sensor

Check engine light with a camshaft position sensor code
Long cranking or no start, especially when the engine is hot
Stalling or cutting out
Rough running or misfires
Poor fuel economy

Wiring and connector faults can cause the same codes. Check the plug and wiring for damage or corrosion before replacing the sensor.

Installation Tips

Disconnect the battery and let the engine cool.
Unplug the connector and remove the mounting bolt.
Remove the old sensor and clean the mounting area.
Lightly oil the new sensor's O-ring, if fitted, and install it.
Tighten the bolt to the specified torque, reconnect the plug and clear the fault codes.

Diagnosing Before You Replace

A camshaft sensor code does not always mean the sensor is faulty. Timing chain problems, a weak battery or damaged wiring can all produce similar symptoms. If the wiring checks out and the fault keeps coming back, especially when the engine is warm, replacing the sensor is the logical next step. Many drivers first notice a failing sensor when the engine will not restart after a short stop but starts once it has cooled.

Who This Sensor Is For

This sensor suits Ford owners doing their own repairs, independent workshops, and anyone replacing a failed camshaft sensor with a matching part number.

Crankshaft vs Camshaft Sensor

Engines usually have both a crankshaft position sensor and one or more camshaft position sensors, and they can look similar. The crankshaft sensor reads the crankshaft or flywheel and is essential for the engine to start; the camshaft sensor reads the camshaft and helps the computer identify the firing order. This part is a camshaft position sensor. Make sure the fault code and the location of the part you are replacing point to the camshaft sensor before ordering.

Why Sensors Fail

Camshaft sensors live close to hot engine parts and are exposed to oil, vibration and temperature changes. Over time the internal electronics can fail, often first when the engine is hot. Oil leaks into the connector and corroded terminals are also common causes of intermittent signals.

Common Questions

Is this a crankshaft or camshaft sensor? It is a camshaft position sensor, based on the supplier's specification and the Ford 6B288 part number.

Is it Ford-branded? No. It is an aftermarket replacement sold under the Ford reference number.
