    Great video. I have an '06 Altima with 160000+ mi., the crank position sensor failed. Similar symptom, long crank to start. Replacing that is not a fun job, it requires the old Eric O. "reach around" the back side of the bell housing down low where you can't see it in order to get it out. Only problem was the OE replacement sensor was a few thou too big and wouldn't fit in the hole, so I ended up swapping the crank position sensor with the cam position sensor (since they are same part), and put the new unit in the cam position sensor hole instead. Started right up!

    Tip
    If you don't want to do the ĵob twice get the parts from Nissan. The aftermarket parts will work for a little bit but stop working.
    When changing the camshaft sensor also change the crank sensor.
    I spoke with Nissan and they told me anything electronical get from Nissan because it's very touchy and doesn't like aftermarket parts.
    Speaking from personal experience with owning a 2005 Nissan Altima. The parts were about twice as much as the parts stores but worth it knowing you only have to do the job once and won't be stranded somewhere.

    My wife has a 2005 maxima and went through the whole cmp failures. Her car has 2, (b1&b2), and for some reason they have different connectors and one is $30 more expensive than the other. The only difference is the connector side of the sensor. Instead of buying the one that was $30 more, I went to the junkyard and got a connector for the cheaper bank, spliced it in, and bought the cheaper sensor. Going on 4 years now and no issues with either sensor. I'm proud to say, I outsmarted Nissan and saved $30.

    Better lucky than good seems to work here. It’s a circuit code as stated in the service info. Going after internal engine as a problem is not the way to go. You don’t need a lab scope to diagnose these, it’s a simple Hall effect sensor. Power,ground and signal. Check the power and then voltage drop the ground side. You can use your DVOM if you don’t have a graphing meter like a vantage or such. Set your DVOM to duty cycle and back probe the signal. If it is switching voltage it will show a duty cycle. Not the best test but it can show you if the sensor is switching. Just not how well it’s switching but if it shows 0 duty cycle at least you know it’s not sending any signal. Of course you can ohm the sensor to check for open. Aeswave sells a great little 1 channel uscope that works great and can aid in lots of these sensor diagnostics. I thought you had a SnapOn vantage or some other graphing multi meter. Simple Hall effect sensor diagnostics and as it is a circuit code and code description tells you it’s a open or shorted circuit and didn’t mention anything about internal engine wear or anything you need to go after circuit faults, even if it jumped timing the sensor would send a signal and not set a circuit code it would set a correlation code.

      Aeswave Uscope is only $200 and is a great single channel scope, however a scope really isn’t needed to diagnose this. Hall effect is 3 wires. Power, ground and signal. Use DVOM to read power and voltage drop the ground and then you can use duty cycle setting on signal wire to see if it is sending a signal. Sensor sends a signal that is either 0 volts or signal volts, usually 5 volts. If it is switching from 0 to whatever signal voltage is it will show a duty cycle reading. Simple circuit that my students learned in the first part of electrical class.

Because of the plugged catalytic converter the back pressure caused the flex joint to pop open while under load and the exhaust blew directly onto the crankshaft position sensor and melted the wiring.

    Common failure on that generation Altima with the qr25 engine, the oe sensors would actually allow oil to come through them into the connector same with the crank position, there was actually a tsp and a recall through Nissan for the cam and crank position sensors are long time ago for this problem I would stick a cam and a crank position sensor in it clear the codes out reset the adapters and see what happened that will more than likely fix the issue also check the oil level and the condition common failure to Esports Bree for lack of oil changes to clog up the VCT solenoid but usually when that happens you'll have a cam crank position correlation code

    You should get a lab scope becuse it will set you above other shops. Becuse few shops do that type of testing, its its really nessary.

    It probably wouldn't be a mechanical issue. The engines i work on have sensors that work at 5v but sense between 0.5v and 4.5v. so a short or open is outside this range, a mechanical fault would be within this range so should give a separate trouble code. Hope that makes sense.

    Had a Datsun B210. When you started it cold it would whine up to like 6000 rpm’s or more for a few minutes then tap the pedal and it would drop down to nothing and was super quiet. No ticking or knocking. I always thought it would throw a rod. It never did.

    My friend had similar vehicle, bought used from dealer. Dealer fixed similar problem of stalling after refuel. They told him it was rollover valve. Probably same component as you are suspecting. On a side note I just bought a 2007 ram 1500 big horn editor. Seller stated truck stalls once or twice when refueled. I can't vouch yet. Just bought for local hauling use. He avoided filling above 7/8ths.

    so yesterday i did something probably ill advised but actually worked out well, i checked my maf sensor, saw one of the wires was all carboned up, tried spraying it clean with maf cleaner but it was baked on, so i ever so gently used a knife to scrape off the carbon off the wire lol i know its probably not the best thing to do but it runs heaps better now haha, i only did it cause i was having trouble finding an identical replacement :/

    I had a similar situation with a CEL showing high fuel pressure on my Volvo. After doing some online research, the sensor was the most likely culprit. I had two options, a Bosch branded sensor for $32, or a "genuine Volvo" replacement in a factory box for $132, which was the exact same part. So, I loaded the parts cannon and gave it a shot. It worked! An extra bonus was a more consistent idle speed. Win!!!

    For comparison sake, I would’ve checked the length of the sensor body. Just to see since if there is a length change to compensate for possible camshaft endplay.

    P0340 - been there before. That's a fun one, 2010 Frontier would just shut down while driving. At least this is a front wheel drive. That sensor is between the engine and the firewall on the RWD. Oh and they changed the sensor to the round instead of flat because the flats had a high failure rate.

    I think your D8 Scan tool has a built in Lab scope if you have the right probes. You can also bring up visual graphs of the PIDS which record as they go. Much safer than constantly watching the data as you drive.

    Nissan issued an advisory a number years ago that would apply to almost all of their unibody type vehicles, once you read the advisory and get a mental picture of the overall problem you realize that it could apply to almost any electrical problem that may occur on Modern cars.
    The gist of the problem is these cars are either completely painted or dipped and then the wiring is bolted to the car with self tapping screws that do not make a good ground The Advisory was specific to cam sensor modules and how to take the self tapping ground screws off and create a better ground connection.

    You can buy small portable digital oscilloscopes for cheap these days. You don't have to spend the four or even five figure sums that some manufacturers are asking for their auto test gear. It's basically (very) just a microprocessor and a colour screen. The more money you spend the bigger the screen and battery, and the more features you get, such as serial bus decoding. Auto diagnostics is not really very demanding compared to what oscilloscopes are capable of these days so some basic functionality such as looking at 600 Hz to 5000 Hz square wave is quite cheap.

  • @felderup
    @felderup Рік тому +4

    you can get usb oscilloscopes REALLY cheap that'd work with those position sensors, especially since they're in audio range, there's even some kits that'd cost about 25bucks in your dollars, gotta put em together though.

    functional life of that sensor. process of illumination, pointed to replace it , if it did not fixed
    the issue , you would go to the next level. great video, take care and be safe out there!

    Non-oem cam/crank sensors are junk. Oem or denso work the best.
    And get yourself a lab scope. I have a 130 dollar one that looks and also works like a power probe. One of my go to tools for this type of work.

  • @aaronbritt2025
    @aaronbritt2025 Рік тому +1

    2005... Pre-CVT. That Altima should run for a very long time. People over look these, but the pre-CVT Altimas are usually very reliable. I was a Nissan Master Tech for 4 years. Maybe consider trading that Apollo in for a Triton. I use my Triton's scope a lot on Nissans. That looks like the updated OEM sensor. The old plastic ones had a high failure rate. Nissan updated the design several years ago. Also, for those watching that own Nissans... Always use OEM sensors. Nissans do not like aftermarket sensors. They will throw the same code in a few months.

    Ray- You can find a good scope at a reasonable price by looking at a local Amateur Radio fair or swap meet. A good Tektronics scope with probes should run from $100.00-$250.00. Verify it works and comes with the instruction manual before shelling out cash. I passed up one at the last HamFair for $100.00 and rt was LED display!
