-
Genuine OEM Engine Component (Mazda Original Equipment, often used by Ford due to shared platform).
-
Part Number: U202-18-230B (Official Mazda OE Number).
-
Cross-Reference: This sensor is interchangeable with the Ford OE part number 6C11-12-K073AC (or equivalent service numbers) as they are the same component from the joint-venture Puma/Duratorq Diesel engine family.
-
-
Component Name: Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP Sensor) (3-Pin connector).
-
Primary Applications (Engine Specific): This sensor is crucial for the Puma/Duratorq TDCi Diesel engines:
-
Ford Ranger (T6/T7 Platform): Fits both the 2.2L and 3.2L 5-Cylinder Diesel engines (approx. 2011–Present).
-
Mazda BT-50 (Second Generation): Fits both the 2.2L and 3.2L Diesel variants (approx. 2011–2020). This is a confirmed match for your Mazda BT50 and Ranger.
-
-
Key Function: Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with the precise camshaft timing data, which is essential for accurate control of the high-pressure Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi) system.
This is a Genuine OEM Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP Sensor), identified by the Mazda part number U202-18-230B. This sensor is a factory-original component for the shared Puma/Duratorq 2.2L and 3.2L Diesel engines that power the Ford Ranger T6/T7 and the Mazda BT-50 (Second Generation). The sensor is often supplied in Mazda-branded packaging but is the identical component to the Ford OE part.
The 2.2L and 3.2L Puma Diesel engines are Common Rail Direct Injection (CRDi) systems, which demand extremely precise timing for efficient fuel delivery. The sensor performs a critical function:
Injection Synchronization: The sensor monitors the rotation of the camshaft and sends a pulsed signal to the ECM. The ECM uses this data to perfectly synchronize the firing of the high-pressure diesel injectors.
Engine Starting: An accurate signal from this sensor is vital for the ECM to verify the engine's position during cranking, which is necessary before allowing the engine to start.
Fitment Assurance: The part number U202-18-230B is the correct genuine Camshaft Position Sensor for both the 2.2L and 3.2L versions of the Puma diesel engine in these truck models.
Using the Genuine Part (U202-18-230B) ensures:
High Signal Quality: Essential for preventing timing-related issues (like trouble codes P0340/P0341) and ensuring the CRDi system operates correctly.
Guaranteed Durability: Engineered to withstand the high heat and vibration of heavy-duty diesel truck operation.
