Camshaft Position Sensor > KIA RIO (DC Chassis) & SPECTRA 1.5L / 1.6L DOHC ENGINE > OK30E-18-131B | GENUINE PART (Kia Original Equipment)
-
Genuine OEM Engine Component (Kia Original Equipment).
-
Part Number: OK30E-18-131B (Official Kia OE Number, often seen as 0K30E18131B).
-
Component Name: Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP Sensor).
-
Primary Applications: Vehicles equipped with the older 1.3L, 1.5L, and 1.6L DOHC (Dual Overhead Cam) 4-cylinder gasoline engines:
-
Kia Rio (First Generation, DC Chassis): Fits 1.5L (Engine Code: A5D) and 1.6L (Engine Code: A6D) models (approx. 2001–2005). This is a confirmed match for your Rio.
-
Kia Spectra (First Generation): Fits 1.6L models (The Spectra 1.6cc is often associated with this part number).
-
-
Engine Type: Used for non-VVT (non-Variable Valve Timing) DOHC engines.
-
Key Function: Provides the Engine Control Module (ECM) with the precise position of the camshaft, which is critical for accurate timing of the spark plugs and sequential fuel injection.
This is a Genuine OEM Camshaft Position Sensor (CMP Sensor), identified by the Kia part number OK30E-18-131B. This sensor is a factory-original component designed for the earlier generations of the Kia Rio (2001–2005) and the Kia Spectra, which use the 1.5L and 1.6L DOHC gasoline engines.
The sensor is essential for the engine's timing and management system:
Timing Reference: It monitors the camshaft's position and speed, sending a signal to the ECM.
Sequential Operation: The ECM uses this signal to synchronize the firing of the spark plugs and the injection of fuel (sequential fuel injection), ensuring the engine runs efficiently.
Fitment Note: While the Rio came with a 1.3L engine in some markets, the OK30E-18-131B part number is most commonly confirmed for the 1.5L and 1.6L DOHC engines found in the Kia Rio (DC chassis) and the Spectra of that era. Using the Genuine Part is crucial for ensuring the sensor provides the highly accurate signal required for the engine control unit.
