Sir, I followed your video to the T and I tell you much appreciated. Completed in roughly 30 minutes, was thinking to myself if I brought to the the mechanic it would surely cost me over a hundred +. Thanks again.
Awesome video! I used this to change out the bank 1 sensor on my '05 Maxima 3.5 I was able to do it in about 45 minutes! I cannot even imagine what Nissan or another mechanic garage would charge to do this! 45 minutes and viola, no more check engine light or rough idle! Thank you for posting this kind sir!!
Thank you your video helped me do this repair MYSELF!! my car is up and running and I saved sooooo much money doing it!
Thank you so much for this very helpful video. I had the part, understood what it did, just didn't know where it was (and OF COURSE it was Bank 1 - everything on this Maxima is Bank 1). The paper in the socket was also very helpful. Another tip my dad gave me more than 30 years ago was to wrap a bit of electrical tape around the wiggly joint to stiffen it up just enough. Thanks again!
Jeff Rush thank you for watching. Your dad tip is a good one. Thank for sharing and watching!
This is THE BEST and clearest video showing how to change the CAM sensor. If you have the sockets then you can save few bucks.
Glad the video was helpful. Thanks for watching!
I'm back! About 3 or 4 years ago I replaced these, and now they have gone out again. Well, both times it was the back one that threw the code, but I am replacing them in pairs. Stay safe! And thank you for sharing.
The sucks that these keep going out. But I’m glad the videos here to help people. Thank you for watching and stay safe!
Thanks to this video I was able to change both sensors!!! Thank you!!
YOU SAVED MY LIFE ! Thank you !!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Thanks so much for this video. This is the second time I had to do this job, it helped me both times. Thanks!
You are awesome. Very straightforward.
The piece of paper to hold the bolt in the socket wrench is a great tip. Thanks!
Nice!!!!! I usually pull that whole thing out if I can’t take it out while it’s on there 💪🏽
BEST VIDEO on changing your cam/crank shafts thank you!!
Excellent tutorial thanks made the job way easier. Thanks Appreciate it.
Nice video, good instructions, good editing fast and direct.
Thank you!
Thank you so much bud. Your videos are amazing. You make it look so easy❤😊🙏
Thank you!
Thank you so much im a girl and i change my own sensors it was really easy ... I appreaciate it so much the mechanics i went to all wanted to charge me more then 400 to change them. Thank you again.
Oh you fine fine
Congrats I bet after getting it done felt very good
How much did the sensors cost? I’m thinking about buying a car, but they are saying it’s throwing the p1168 code which is the Air Fuel Ratio Sensor. There gonna sell it to me for 2500 but I don’t wanna buy it if it’s gonna be another 500-600 to fix it😂
very good video as others has said the best one thank you great explaination
Thx for video super informative little tip though a magnetized swivel socket helps tremendously instead of paper if u have one
Very helpful and solves great time & money.
Always happy to hear that. Thank you for watching!
Great video and very helpful!
Joe Couple glad the video is helpful. Thank you for watching!
Thank you Brian.
🙏🏼 THANK YOU for this buddy
Thank you for watching!
Excellent Brian! Bank one is a bit tricky. Is there a way to check the cam sensor with a meter so one know which one is bad?
Thank you so much very helpful
Perfect Master Good Job !!! Thank You 💯 Step by Step
Glad to help. Thank you for watching!
Hey, great video, I used it last year to replace the Bank 2 sensor in my 2004 Maxima, now my Bank 1 is causing my Check Engine Light to light up, so I'm getting ready to do that one. My question is on the parts in your link, they are significantly cheaper than the OEM sensor I bought last year for Bank 2, and some of the reviews are saying they are not OEM like the ad states... have you or anyone else on here had problems with them? I really don't want to go to the trouble to replace the sensor (which looks like the more difficult of the two) just to have to take it back out and try to get a refund...
Thank you for the video
What was the problem to change these two sensors. Thanks for your help
do you have to do a relearn procedure after replacement of the camshaft position sensors or just the crank shaft position sensor ?
thank you man
Thank you so much for this video. I have to change one tomorrow and this video was very helpful. In hindsight I should have just purchase and replaced both like you did.
Kyle Wilkin glad the video is helpful. Thank you for watching!
I finally got a nice day and was able to replace the piece. This video was spot on and removing that first tubing piece made everything so much easier. I have one question for you. When I took the green piece off the sensor it came off VERY easily. I can push the middle of the green piece down and hear a click. Then put the sensor back in and hear another click. But the green piece comes out easily no matter what. Is this normal? It seems like the two pieces should stick together better and might be the real source of the error code.
Kyle Wilkin sounds like that’s A normal condition for that connector. As long as you can pull on it and it does not come back off you should be good.
That's what I mean actually. I can hear the clicks but the green piece can be removed with very little force always. It is never "locked" onto the sensor enough that very slight pull will not remove it. Basically it is being held on by friction.
Kyle Wilkin I’ve had this happen and to fix it I sprayed penetrating oil on the green connector.
Thank you!
Great video
brandon mireles thank you!
Great video
Is this the same on a 2004 nissan murano?
Yes
need help does the rubber next to the crankshaft position sensor the bottom. one does it need it n where can i get one i lost mine
I appreciate this so much! Saved me a lot of money. I'll be replacing this thing in my '05 Altima tomorrow and it doesn't look too hard, especially since my faulty cam sensor is number 2.
Is it running rough? I have to replace bank 1 in my Altima and was wondering if it’ll do the trick?
@@danielmonar8925 Nope! No problems at all since I had to replace.
@@kylemiller835 it’s telling me that I have to replace bank 1? Is it both of them?
@@danielmonar8925 it would say bank 1 and 2 if you had to replace both. My code was telling me only bank 2 had to be replaced and it worked after that. Start with just the one it's telling you.
@@kylemiller835 thank you! I definitely will!
hi Brian, good video and info how to replace both cam sensors one question how did u check them did u use scope and it was concluded that the sensors were bad not the wiring or what ever they are suppling from the ecm like 5 volt refrense signal and so on will be realy helpfull if u showed littel diagnosses on that any how always enjoy ur videos my friend. cheeeeeeers
j georges on this when I had a code for bank one cam sensor. I put a lab scope on it but when I tested it and everything tested fine. The car would intermittently stall. This car belongs to my girlfriend so I wasn't going to take any chances and I replaced both cam and crank sensor. There is also TSB's on this problem with intermittent Stalling.
greate and jobe well done as always thanks for sharing and as i mentioned will be preciated if u show some of ur methods of diagnosses so we can learn from it as we learn from other stuff u show. always pleasure and fun watching ur videos.
j georges I will put out more diagnostics videos. Thank you for watching!
What’s considered left or right can sensor because that’s how i was told at autozone I was thinking it like the 350z the engine is turned so the timing chain is facing the front bumper so left would be for the fwd the far back one
Very good video i put new sensor 1 bank A and been about month and its saying i got a bad sensor again. What cause sensor to keep going bad
Ive heard using the wrong oil can cause the sensor to go bad quicker
Is both the sensors on here bank 1? Or is it the one in the back only?
Hi georges. Excellent video ill try to do it by myself as soon as i received the parts. One question, do we need the exact part from nissan or there's another suppliers with the exact piece? Cuz i'm working at Volkswagen & the mechanics couldn't see this small problem. Thanks a lot again!!
Reeck L i’ve heard of people having good luck with aftermarket parts on the Nissan’s so it’s worth the chance
And is it related to starting problems too?
I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima 3.5 I was wondering what the procedure was to check out a faulty cam sensor (s). Also I was wondering if I should change out my tranny fluid. I have almost 198,000 miles on my car. And while at highway speeds, 60 mph or better? It seems to slip a little. I do most of the mechanical work. Thanks much in advance.
Thank you,my sons car is hesitating when on long drives it just gets stuck in very low revs,I'll,give this a go,do I need a code reader because his car shows no engine fault lights,can I install the sensors without a code reader,thank you again,very well presented and explained.
Steven dugandzic I would start by pulling codes. A little code reader start at around 25 bucks on Amazon. It also could be misfiring causing the same symptom.
+How to Automotive thank you,I will get one,awesome video
Steven dugandzic good luck with the repair 👍🏻 and thank you for watching!
The link you provided justvtajes me to your site. I look through and can't find the videos for this
Is this pretty normal to go out when the code pops up and is it recommended to replace both of them ??
Unfortunately I have 2.5L 4 Cyl engine. You can't even see the crankshaft position sensor. What's the best solution for that? Any suggestions?
Is it recommended you change both sensors or could I change just the one that my diagnostics test said was faulty?
Michael McMahon You can just change the one out. The reason why most people do it in pairs is due to Technical service bulletin that Nissan put out recommending that you change them together due to them breaking down from heat.
Thank you
Tajudeen Kareem thank you for watching!
hi, can you tell me how to change P0328 knock sensor 1 bank 1 on 2002 Nissan Maxima SE
I replaced both mine but bank 2 keeps triggering and shutting off the car. I purchased them through Amazon,you think I should go store brand?
I replaced the bank 2 cam sensor. Because I had a code P0021. Cam position senor bank 2
Now my 2004 Nissan Altima doesn’t stay running. And has codes of miss fire.
Do you have some advice because it was running before I replaced the sensor but running a little rough.
Thank you
Ryan
Fidkkdk
use OEM- these sensors are important for telling the computer how much fuel to inject, sparking as well.
I have a problem with the speedometer(cruise set) when you reach the speed of 100 kilometers separates !!
Jiffy lube quoted me an arm and a leg to do this repair. Definitely going to order parts from Autoanything and get my own mechanic to install this.
Does the part from autoanything work for you.
Raiya 111 yes it works perfectly!
Did you unplugged the battery
I am having such a tough time getting the connector to release from bank 1 sensor.
What kind of grease do you use
Ayuda please mi carro es altima 2013 donde está el code PO114 camshaft
hello the code that cam e up on my 2006 nissan altima was the P0011 Descriptin: a camshaft postition timing over- advanced or system performance bank 1. Possible causes-- 1. valve timing problem. 2. engine mechanical problem. 3. fault cmp actvator.
the car when parked will not rev passed 2000 rpm but starts first try and when driving will kinda of jerk when hitting gas. Please help use car for work. i was very low on oil not sure if an oil change will help this plan on working on it this weekend.
Did you ever get this fixed? Engine flush? Cam exhaust sensor? Im in the same boat. Changed all 3 solenoids still having code
My ford ranger wildtrak has a 2.4lt diesel engen.
Are the sensors in a similar place on the 2.5 L engine?
That's an inline-4 engine (4 cylinder) so there should only be 1 sensor, but yes it will be near the top of the engine where the camshafts are.
What size is the bolt for the sensor?
Is this the same for the intake valve timing circuit bank 1?
Daniel Gonzalez I think you mean the parts and if that is the case yes they are the same part numbers
How to Automotive So is this for code P1111?
What about a Nissan Titan 2008 intake a crankshaft position timing bank 2
Hi I have a question about my nissan Altima 3.5 the temperature is getting really high can you put a video and how to change the thermostat of this car please thanks
Ricardo Ramos I would need an ultimatum to come into the shop to be able to film it. The closest thing I have is a Nissan Marano which has the same engine this video should help you. I www.howtoautomotive.com/videos-2/2016/8/5/how-to-replace-a-radiator-and-thermostat-on-a-2005-nissan-murano?rq=Nissan
I have a 2014 Nissan Altima 2.5s p1078 bank 1 problem Where do I find the part they do not carry it in AutoZone
I’m looking on rock auto for sensors but it’s only coming up with one type and says rear, you replaces two. Where did you buy both to replace?
El Maxima 6 Cilindros tiene dos arbol de levas Por eso un sensor queda frente al radiador, que es el Bank 2 y el segundo sensor queda en la parte de atras en el area de Firewall, que es el Bank 1. Numeros de Partes de Auto Zone : SU6516 = Bank 1 este conector es recto y su costo es $ 64.99 sin tax y SU6480 = Bank 2 este conector es angulo, parecido a una Pistola y su costo es $ 67.99 sin tax
Does the sensors suppose to have oil on them when you take them out?
Yes that’s normal.
would this cause my car to shake slash engune vibrate at 60 mph if not this then maybe the intake valve timing sensor do you have a video of that
Rodrigo Rodriguez a
Yeah this happened to mine too thought a wheel was unbalanced but it was just not running correctly
Do you have to reset the computer after changing camshaft positioning sensor a & b on a 2002 Nissan
No, there is no resetting needed
Which side is the camshaft position Bank 1 sensor “A” on?? I have a 03 Nissan Altima 3.5L
The camshaft position sensors you linked are no longer available. Do you have a part # for the individual sensors, or a link to oem? Im only going to replace the B one initially.
Oh, and my car is a 2011 maxima
What is the blue clip connected to, towards the "top"of the intake manifold, to the right, if you were looking down into the car?
katylou84 I believe you’re talking about the vacuum switch. Without the car in front of me hard to tell what it went to. Most likely the eve app purge valve.
How to Automotive thank you for the quick reply. I'm slowing learning how to diy for my car and this video was very helpful!
katylou84 glad to hear the video is helpful. Good luck and thank you for watching!
Please help!! Need advice
Good morning i have a i35 infinity 2002 i fix both camshift position sensor but i still have the light on n is still turning off on me while am drving or stop at a light also i have tcs light on slip on aswell wat should i do any help will be great. Thanks
Stephanie Otero sorry you’re having this car trouble. I would suspect the Crank sensor going out. It will have the same symptoms. A lot of times the dealer will replace all three at the same time
Thank you. We replaced Bank 1 and Bank 2, but Bank 2 still says error.
Mine is doing the same any luck with yours I orderd cheap going to order hitachi when I get the money
Did any know this can effect your transmission to get stuck in 1 gear .... It happened to my 06 altimaser
maybe I looked at another page that said that the sensors were the problem that the gears get stuck , In fact, the fifth gear gets stuck and I'm going to replace them. I'll tell you if that was the problem.
Seems like its leaking on my 03 3.5L maxima from that exact spot is that possible?
Bondo yes it has a Oring that goes bad.
can you make a video of that change on the ring?
@@JoseAguilar-cy4ip Probably just pop out the o-ring and put on the new one. Can't be difficult. I ordered new cam sensor o-rings from the stealership and i'm gonna try installing them tomorrow maybe
If the code is pulling camshaft overtimed? Can it be a sensor or did the camshaft tensioner fail causing it to jump time???
From my experience if it is an overtime code the timing is off either because of the tensioner or change stretch
Can this work for Maximas as well?
Jordan Sanchez yes it’s pretty much the exact same process
@@HowtoAutomotive
I have a 2002 Infiniti I35 and the engine looks similar. I need to change my bank 1 camshaft position sensor. Is it the same as this Altima?
Ben TheKeeshond i’m pretty sure it’s the same.
@@HowtoAutomotive
Thank you very much for your super quick response.
Does anyone know camshaft 1 and 2 locations for Nissan Altima 2009? Thanks
Which one is bank 1?
Hello...i have A Renault vel satis 3.5 V 6 2002(Nissan motor)...i was going to work and suddenly the car stop-dead(engine Light is on)and doesnt start(cracks but no start)...before 8 months i change fuel pump(because have same problem)...i connect the fuel pump with a old battery and works...crank sensor or camsoft sensor..?
Μιχαλης Λουβης sorry you having car trouble. I would start by pulling codes it should lead you in the right direction. It could be the Crank season or something else.
Thanks for response and help..!
I need to know where the Oxygen sensor Bank 2 sensor 2 is
Did u find out
Wow
Ate these two sensors the same?? Please havi g a tough time
Yes it’s the same part numbers
OK, so i changed the sensor like a month ago, I turn on the car this morning, and sure enough the idles rough. So i checked and I got the p0021 code again. What else can it be???
Robert Sanchez I will check your engine oil. If it’s slow it’ll affect cam timing. If it’s low I recommend you change the oil reset the codes. After that I would look into crank sensor.And I’ve also gotten bad parts right off the shelf.
@@HowtoAutomotive you're the man! 🤙🏼 I'll keep you posted. Thanks a million!!
So bank 1 sensor is behind the engine and bank 2 is on the side of it?
Bank 2 is front of engine ...yes!
What’s the difference between left and right
Leonard Dickson on this car cam Sensor 1 this the right side and cam Sensor 2 Is the left.
help.
Jason Plant what can I help you with?
Which one is bank 2?
Leonard Dickson that would be the one on the Radiator side. The one closer to the firewall is bank one.
06 Nissan altima where is the intake valve solenoid bank 1 located.
06 Nissan altima 3.5
Can this work for Teana 2003?
Cam sensor problems are pretty common on Nissan. So most likely
Is bank1 the crankshaft sensor and bank2 the cam shaft sensor??

Gracias mi Elmanao
Would bank 2 failure cause a evap code?
No that’s a completely different system.
I have to replace both the cam and crank sensors on my 2003 Nissan Maxima also. Where did you buy yours from? Thanks alot
sergio ruvalcaba I work at a shop and I got mine through a company called worldpack I do have I affiliate links for the parts in the description of the video.
He's asking about the Maxima. Unless they are universal, which ones would a Maxima use? They appear to be Infiniti/Nissan only, but I just want to make sure they will work for a Maxima.

El del ciguenal es en la parte de abajo del vehiculo y es un crankshaft position sensor los del arbol de levas son Camshaft position sensor.
Tienes que estar seguro del modelo y year del Nissan Maxima
My Nissan quest 2007 crank but it doesn't start I need help it just happened today
Camshaft sener try that first then have someone put it on a computer and run it for any code...
Same for 07?
Rocky Espinosa if it has the 3.5L engine it’s the same.
Hi, I changed my bank 1 cam sensor a couple days ago and it started running good but when I took a drive to the grocery store it suddenly stalled. Could this be that they sold me a faulty sensor?
Look into your crank shaft sensor
Was it code p0345 same thing happened on my mom's 2003. Replaced and still stalled?
My 2010 Altima jerks a bit sometimes. It gets worst the lower the gas is..
TATYANA FIDDIS I would suspect a misfire. Bad spark plug coil.
How to Automotive Thanks for that. I have 3months old spark plugs. My mechanic thought it was a gas filter problem but he then said my car doesnt have a gas filter. He has me treating the gas with seafoam when I fill up.
TATYANA FIDDIS I would suspect it’s still miss firing. Maybe get the codes pulled to try to determine which one is causing the problem. It could be an injector. Also if the engine oil is low it will affect timing on this engine so make sure the Engine oil is full and clean.
How to Automotive thank you.
Is there only 2 sensors?
there's 3 sensors. two up top as per video and one underneath the engine next to the oil pan, which is the crank sensor
I replaced my bank sensor A but my check engine light is still on and now my car vibrates like it wants to shut off
Jose Gonzalez sounds like you had a misfire. I would re-pull the code and go from there. Also go back over your work maybe something got disconnected
I scanned it again and I still have the P0340 and now it says I have a P0011
Jose Gonzalez So either you have the Veraval valves cam sensor unplugged or the engine has very dirty and low engine oil. I would recommend changing the oil and then driving again
Jose Gonzalez and don’t forget to clear the codes again
Okay will do thank you for your advice really appreciated
