This is a great video! Short and sweet and to the point. On my 2007 Murano, I used a 10mm ratching wrench and did not have to move the hose. On a whim, I blew out the connector and the sensor in place and all codes went away. So I never even had to pull the sensor! I was showing P0345(Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 2), P0725(Engine speed input circuit), P1701(Power supply circuit), P0868 (Transmission fluid low). The last 3 are Nissan OEM codes. Thanks for saving me time and money! I will update if any of them come back.😎
Nice. The connectors always suck. Thanks for taking extra time to show exactly how it releases. The nissan is weird and I was surprised at the direction you push the tab.
Good video! Thanks a bunch! Very helpful! I did not even have to remove my engine cover. Once I pulled the hose, it was just right for me. It's been said the cheaper sensors don't last. But I just went and got a used one because it happened that the clip for the wires did not lock as it should. My CE light is off now. Time will tell! UPDATE! Got through emissions and my repair was about 4 days ago! It's all good now! Folks make sure your wire clip locks after you hear the click! At first, mine did not!
OutSTANDING! Very clear, very easy to follow. These jobs are really so easy with some photos or video to just show where the darn parts are and how they come out. But one important note: Getting that 10mm bolt out is difficult. There is a heavy steel pipe near the head which made it impossible to get a socket on it cleanly, even with a U-joint fitting. You really need a 10mm box wrench to slip in there (I would advise against a simple open-end here because you really want to get that bolt out with no chance of rounding off the edges).
Great video. My problem is with my fiance 07 murano. About same time last year her car shut off while dropping off the kids to school. We got it diagnosed and it was the camshaft sensors we swapped out both and until today no problems. Today same problem occurred but the reading is saying p0345 camshaft sensor bank 2. Yet again we swapped out both bank 1 and 2 the first time.
Use the Hitachi sensors. A lot of people have seen the aftermarket sensors fail in less than a year. Even the Autozone sensors with the lifetime warranty are failing prematurely.
Great video! I did both sensors. A few tips about what parts to get and tooling. I have an 2006 Altima SER and the motor is mounted transverse like the Murano. You’ll see parts listed by different positions. Left or Right. A or B. Bank #1 or Bank #2. For VQ35's mounted transverse (front-wheel drive): Rear - Near the firewall. That’s Right/Bank 1/A. Front - Closest to the radiator. That’s Left/Bank 2/B Where does this come from? Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a 350Z where the motor is mounted longitudinal for rear-wheel drive. The driver’s side of the motor is the left and the passenger side the right. And with ‘right’ usually favoring left it gets numbered bank #1 or A. Leaving the left to bank #2 or B. Then when you rotate the motor for front-wheel drive, the left side moves to the front. My code reader reported ‘P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit’ indicating I needed to replace the rear sensor. Code P0345 would be the sensor in the front. I recommend the Hitachi sensors. These are OEM and can be had from RockAuto, Amazon, and others. The best price I found was at RockAuto. Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B Replacing the front sensor was relatively easy. The rear (at least for me) was difficult getting the connector to come loose. It’s hard to reach by hand. And after depressing the connector with my finger, it didn’t seem to want to release. I turned to a pair of 11-inch long nose pliers with a 45 deg bend. Firmly pressed the release tab in and then maneuvered the connector off from the top using the same pliers. Once you press the tab fully in, it will remain open - lest you bump it and it locks again. Good luck!
If you notice on this car in the video, the other (bank one) camshaft sensor is covered in oil. For some reason, the bank one sensor usually fails first on most Nissan VQ engines. It looks like oil is leaking from both camshaft sensors on my wife's Murano so I will probably buy some new sensors from Rockauto and install them very soon. BTW, the bank one camshaft sensor failed on my 350z but it was not leaking oil. The sensors are much cheaper if you buy them online. The owners on the Nissan online forums recommend the Hitachi sensors (cost: $44/ea plus tax and shipping). I may try the Standard Motor Products sensors since those seem to be very popular and are much cheaper.
No they are different parts. These Hitachi are the OEM. I ordered through Amazon. Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B
My murano stalled while driving. When I started it back up it idled very roughly and would not accelerate more than 2 mph. Code light is on says it is the CPS but a mechanic thinks the engine is shot. Agree?
Hi bro. Hope you will be fine. Brother I have a problem about long starting. I have changed All sensor but My car have some same problem. I don't know what is the problem. Can you guide me
I’m getting P0011 error codes on my 2011 Murano, and it says cam shaft sensor. These are different codes, but could it be the same issue? Fresh oil changes don’t resolve the code
what do you think is the problem when the motor stalls and then shuts off, the battery light and service appears soon. this happens to a murano 2005 after they changed the alternator began that problem. Any idea to solve the problem?
You need to scan for codes since the service engine light is on. It sounds like a cam position sensor or a crank position sensor to me with those symptoms
@@AaronHinesAuto ok thank you !!! One mechanic guy told me that I need to replace 3 sensors 2 camshaft and 1 crank . Is that important or he just want to take adavantage and make me pay more because parts and labor is little expensive.
I did this to bank 2 but when I did this on bank 1 and clean crankshaft sensor now the car doesn't turn onn the car tries to start for a second but then it turns off it sounds like it is not getting enough air but I don't know what the problem is
my 2006 nissan murano engine stop after 45 min runn, to starting again at least need 10 or 20 min. in computer checking there is no any failer code. what can Ido to resolve the car problem?
The sensors are different. The rear is straight while the front has a bend. Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B
Changing these sensors are easy on the Murano so I would never pay a mechanic to replace these. The hardest part is learning how to release the connector correctly. These sensors are really hard to reach on the 350z because they located on the back of the engine, next to the firewall, and there's not much room back there.
Engine cranking , taking time to start the engine, engine fail while running, engine wont start after running some time, Gear not shifting, RPM raising. I changed both camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors, but it wont fix the problem. Please help me fix thia in my nissan murano 2007
I won't be surprised if I get quoted round the same amount. Even after I've just paid about the same amount for other problems an they weren't able to fix this one.

Thanks for the tip. That steel pipe has no reason to be in the way. My next vehicle WILL NOT be a nissan lol
Thank you. Very helpful and short straight to the point
thanks dude, you had the easiest to follow instructions for the sensor install.

Make sure to use the OEM part from Nissan. Hitachi just updated their new sensor.
Use the Hitachi sensors. A lot of people have seen the aftermarket sensors fail in less than a year. Even the Autozone sensors with the lifetime warranty are failing prematurely.
Thank you so much man! This is very informative and easy to understand video. I changed the sensor with your help. God bless you!
Earned a subscription 💪🏽💯
I want to thank you so much for making this video it really helped me a lot God Bless you
Thanks for your video! Any idea if bank 1 and 2 are same part number?
Thank you SO much my friend, it was a great video and I did it.
Good video, I would have said Great video, but when you told us which tools you left out the needle pliers 😂😂😂😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

It’s Supposed to be oil on it
@@TheKaymula Not on the outside of it. The oil ring or gasket is leaking.
Great great video ❤
After you replace the sensors will the check engine light go off or do you have to get it removed
You have to clear the the codes to get rid of the check engine light.
Thank you.👍👍👍
Thank you for the video, very helpful.
my 2010 Murano started making a knocking noise. fault code is P0340 and P0463. will those cause that noise?
Do you need that socket to take the bolt off
Good job. I really needed to know where the locations were for the other sensors?
Thanks it worked. Everytime I change my spark plug need to change that
that's strange! glad it helped
did you get error code po340? nice job on the video :)
I wonder if it’s in the same place for my 2017 Murano?
Awesomeness thanks feller
Is it same Part for Bank 1 and bank 2 or separate?
My green lock is worn on my cam shaft sensor wire. Is it hard to change out the connector?
What to do if connector wont disconnect? This question is for Bank 1. Having trouble disconnecting it from sensor. Thanks!
Good work, thanks for the video
Good video just wish I could hear the difference in the cranking up part. Mine has a hard start up just like this one.
Title says camshaft but you're replacing crankshaft. Thanks alot
No Replace cam shaft. Crank is in the engine bottom half. Two cam on top V6!
@@avrielpeters7962 I know but did you watch the video and read the title.
Is Bank 2 the rear cam crank sensor
Are both the sensor replacements the same part?
No they are different parts. These Hitachi are the OEM. I ordered through Amazon.
Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A
Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B

I just changed the engine oil, can I still replace these sensors without spilling the oil and making mess on the hood..
Yes. No oil should spill out
Yes hatn way do not chees application😂😂😂
I dont know English
Spanish only
Great vid!
thank you!

Yeah I'm having trouble with mine cranking up it was spent over but just won't crank up
Top tips thanks
I have a 2007. Do you think it’ll be about the same ?
Yes it will. clean the hole before putting in the new one in
my 2006 nissan murano engine stop after 45 min runn, to starting again at least need 10 or 20 min. in computer checking there is no any failer code. what can Ido to resolve the car problem?
did you ever resolve the issue? i am going thru the same thing
Great video but im not sure the info u gave about the codes clearing itself it true.. otherwise excellent video
Nice.remember lefty loosie 👍
Thanks! Quick easy job.
Which sensor (front or back) for p0340?
p0340 is for the back
I ordered through Amazon.
Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A
Mine is P0340 bank 1 which is the same sensor isnt it >?
The sensors are different. The rear is straight while the front has a bend.
Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A
Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B
Tengo un problema con un nissan Altima 2002 3.5 v6 el carro estartea pero no pasa coriente para las bobinas alguien me podria ayudar con el problema.
Es tu ponpa del gas
Tengo una Nissan Murano 2004
Solo en tiempo de calor se apaga y después de 10 minutos arranca otra ves me podrán decir cual será el problema
Thanks
Do you know which is 340 and which is 345?
The front sensor is 345 and the rear 340
I ordered through Amazon.
Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A
Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B
How much does a garage charge to replace both sensors
depends if the shop is using oem parts or aftermarket. i would say around 300-400.
$138 for 1 without the part
Too damn much when replacing these is that simple
Changing these sensors are easy on the Murano so I would never pay a mechanic to replace these. The hardest part is learning how to release the connector correctly. These sensors are really hard to reach on the 350z because they located on the back of the engine, next to the firewall, and there's not much room back there.
@@AaronHinesAuto Do you recommend oem or aftermarket camshaft sensors?
Which website would you recommend to buy auto parts online?
My murano runs starts but if I turn it off it won’t start
My cam shaft sensor doesn't have spark on the supply wire
Engine cranking , taking time to start the engine, engine fail while running, engine wont start after running some time, Gear not shifting, RPM raising.
I changed both camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors, but it wont fix the problem.
Please help me fix thia in my nissan murano 2007
Jus wat I need
They cannot do it at any auto parts store is a liability issue.
And a guy was going to charge me $1200 to do this i think not💀
Just got quoted at 300. Seems high to me
I won't be surprised if I get quoted round the same amount. Even after I've just paid about the same amount for other problems an they weren't able to fix this one.
