Designed to send an accurate timing signal to the engine computer, the Standard Ignition Engine Camshaft Position Sensor / Crankshaft Position Sensor PC590 is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7L / 5.9L / 6.7L, the 2011-2018 Ram 2500 6.7L and the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 3500 5.7L / 5.9L / 6.7L. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
The sensor reads the passing target wheel and sends a position signal that the engine control module uses for ignition and fuel timing. Standard Ignition lists it under both names, as an engine camshaft position sensor and as an engine crankshaft position sensor.
- 100% tested: Every unit goes through environmental, endurance and end-of-line testing for timing, pulse width and signal amplitude, for consistent product reliability.
- Circuit protection: Advanced circuitry helps shield the system from stray electromagnetic fields and power spikes.
- Calibrated magnetic circuit: Custom magnetic circuit programming calibrates the sensor during performance testing. This is designed to improve timing accuracy between the target wheel and the sensor output.
- Adaptive signal processing: An integrated A/D converter and digital signal processing with a dynamically adaptive switch point improve accuracy and operation.
Standard Ignition maintains quality control through the manufacturing process, from componentry to finished product. The listed applications use one sensor, and it is sold individually. Country of origin: Mexico.
Signs this sensor may need replacing include hard starting or a no-start, stalling, rough running and a check engine light. Diagnose the cause first. If the position sensor is at fault, PC590 replaces it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Standard Ignition PC590 do?
It reads the target wheel and sends a timing signal that the engine control module uses for ignition and fuel timing. It is listed as both an engine camshaft position sensor and a crankshaft position sensor.
Which vehicles does the PC590 fit?
It fits many vehicles, among them the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 2500 5.7L / 5.9L / 6.7L, the 2011-2018 Ram 2500 6.7L and the 2002-2010 Dodge Ram 3500 5.7L / 5.9L / 6.7L. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for the full list.
How many sensors do I need?
The listed applications use one sensor, and the PC590 is sold individually.
What are signs of a failing cam/crank position sensor?
Hard starting, a no-start, stalling, rough running or a check engine light can point to a faulty sensor, but other problems cause these too. Diagnose first. If the sensor is at fault, PC590 replaces it.
Is the PC590 tested before it ships?
Yes. Standard Ignition runs 100% environmental, endurance and end-of-line testing for timing, pulse width and signal amplitude. It also calibrates the magnetic circuit during performance testing.
