A 371F-3611011 camshaft position sensor should be selected by the complete OE/OEM reference, the exact vehicle configuration, and a detailed physical comparison with the original sensor. The verified NexuParts listing identifies this sensor for Chery applications and names Chery and Tiggo as reference models. Because engines, connectors, and installation positions can vary, a model name alone does not confirm fitment.
What the 371F-3611011 Camshaft Position Sensor Listing Confirms
The verified product type is a camshaft position sensor. Its OE/OEM reference and NexuParts SKU are both 371F-3611011. Chery is the listed vehicle make, while Chery and Tiggo appear as the listed model references. The package contains one sensor. The product is active, in stock, and represented by real product photography.
These details narrow the search, but they do not establish a universal year, engine, trim, market, or installation-position claim. Start with the number printed on the installed part or a reliable vehicle-specific catalog. Then compare the original sensor with the 371F-3611011 Chery camshaft position sensor from every angle shown.
Why a Fault Code or Symptom Is Not a Fitment Check
A hard-start concern, rough idle, timing-related fault code, or unstable camshaft-position signal may lead a technician to inspect this part. Those symptoms do not prove that one sensor has failed, and they do not identify the correct replacement number. Wiring, connectors, power supply, mechanical timing, related sensors, and other engine conditions may require diagnosis.
Use suitable diagnostic equipment and vehicle-specific service information before ordering. If testing identifies the camshaft position sensor as the cause, perform a separate fitment review. Diagnosis determines what needs repair; the OE number and physical configuration determine which replacement belongs on the vehicle.
Verify the Complete OE Number 371F-3611011
Record the full reference exactly as it appears on the original sensor, including letters, numbers, and separators. Avoid relying on a shortened search term or a sensor that simply looks similar.
- Confirm the complete reference 371F-3611011.
- Record the VIN, model, engine, market, production information, and installation position.
- Check whether the number came from the installed part or a dependable vehicle-specific catalog.
- Compare molded numbers, labels, symbols, and any orientation markings visible in the product images.
- Resolve any different suffix, revision, or catalog cross-reference before ordering.
If the original number is unreadable, photograph the sensor and connector before removal. After safe removal, take clear images of the body, sensing end, mounting area, and plug. Provide those images with the VIN when requesting fitment assistance.
Compare the Electrical Connector and Pin Layout
The connector is one of the strongest physical checks. A sensor may share a similar body shape while using different electrical keying or terminals.
- Connector housing: Match its outside profile, angle, and position relative to the sensor body.
- Visible pin count: Compare the number and arrangement of terminals without touching them.
- Keying features: Check grooves, guides, and molded shapes that control plug alignment.
- Locking mechanism: Compare the latch, retaining tab, and the area where the vehicle connector engages.
- Connector depth: Review how far the plug seats and the surrounding shoulder or seal area.
Do not force a connector or modify a plug to make a questionable sensor fit. Any difference in shape, pins, keying, or latch position should be resolved before installation.
Compare Sensor Length, Body, and Mounting Points
Next, align the original sensor and listing photos in the same orientation. Examine the complete body rather than only the connector.
- compare the overall sensor length and body proportions;
- check the shape and length of the sensing end;
- match the mounting tab, bolt hole, bracket position, and surrounding contours;
- compare the insert or sealing area and any visible shoulder;
- review molded ribs, recesses, seams, and markings;
- confirm the installation orientation and location through vehicle-specific service information.
A correct connector does not compensate for a different sensor length or mounting geometry. All major physical features should agree.
Camshaft and Crankshaft Sensors Are Not Interchangeable
Camshaft and crankshaft position sensors both relate to engine-position information, but they are separate components with different OE references and vehicle applications. Do not substitute one part type for the other or assume that similar symptoms identify the same sensor.
For comparison, NexuParts lists a separate 90919-05059 crankshaft position sensor for listed Toyota applications. That product is not presented as compatible with 371F-3611011 or with Chery vehicles. The link illustrates why the component type, OE number, connector, dimensions, and installation location all need independent verification.

Pre-Purchase Checklist
- Confirm the diagnosis. Do not select the sensor from a symptom or fault code alone.
- Match 371F-3611011. Verify the complete OE/OEM reference on the original sensor or through a reliable catalog.
- Confirm the vehicle. Record the VIN, Chery model, engine, market, and installation position.
- Compare the connector. Match housing shape, visible pins, keying, latch, angle, and depth.
- Compare the sensor body. Match overall length, sensing end, mounting tab, bolt hole, and contours.
- Review all images. Rotate the original sensor to match each product-photo angle.
- Confirm quantity. The verified package contains one camshaft position sensor.
Installation Planning
Use service information written for the exact vehicle and engine to confirm the sensor location, testing method, electrical precautions, access sequence, fastener requirements, sealing details, and post-repair checks. Compare the new and original sensors side by side before connecting or installing the replacement.
Professional installation is recommended. Installed, modified, damaged, or used electrical parts may have return limitations unless defective or incorrectly shipped, so complete every fitment comparison before installation.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will 371F-3611011 fit every Chery or Tiggo?
No. Those are listed vehicle references, but exact fitment depends on the OE number, engine, market, production information, connector, dimensions, mounting points, and installation location.
What should I compare first?
Start with the complete reference 371F-3611011, then compare the connector, visible pins, keying, sensor length, sensing end, mounting tab, bolt hole, and product photos.
Does a timing-related fault code prove this sensor is faulty?
No. A code or symptom requires diagnosis and does not identify one exact failed component or replacement number.
How many sensors are included?
The verified listing states that the package contains one camshaft position sensor.
What should I send for fitment help?
Send the product link, VIN, vehicle model and engine, original OE/OEM number, installation location, and clear photos of the original sensor and connector.
Choose a 371F-3611011 Camshaft Position Sensor with Evidence
The safest way to select a 371F-3611011 camshaft position sensor is to combine a confirmed diagnosis with an exact OE-number match and a photo-by-photo physical comparison. When the connector, pins, length, sensing end, mounting features, and vehicle-specific catalog information agree, review the verified NexuParts 371F-3611011 sensor listing before ordering.
