Got a 2006 Xterra, 160K and over the last couple of years the check engine light/vdc/slip lights would come on...first thoughts were rear diff fluids. After another couple of years the same issues recently with stalling/not starting/rough running... Did some checks and the code was for the crankshaft position sensor... Found this video along with others but this seemed to the point...$34 later and 1 hour work, it's back to the beast it was and if you have the right tools and small hands it is very easy, my hands are big and I spent more time trying to get in and out of the space than it did to do the work itself...Very good video. Thanks
Crazy that you put this video up today! I bought a 2011 a couple weeks ago and have been binging your videos since then. Today my engine died all of a sudden on the road, started it back and ran the codes and it was the crank sensor. Just now finished the repair out in the dark in my driveway and she is running good again! Thanks for all the vids man
Man I’ve watched your videos on the X for years. I used them to work on my moms X and even on my own X! They’ve gotten me out of a few jams, thanks so much for the excellent videos Ryan!
@@Rythecarguy she got one back in 08 new I drove it cross country and really liked it for road trips. I got a 2011 6 years ago. I’ve put about 200k miles on it and its still going strong.
Usually when I watch a "how to" video I watch 2 or 3 different ones and get a little information from one that the other didn't have...but when I see Ry has a video I only need to watch that one video. 😎👍
Dude, you saved me yesterday. My '06 Xterra just stalled when in a drive thru line yesterday. After many tries, it started up while pushing it out of line. When back on the road, it had little power and the tach was bouncing erratically. I suspected the battery as I've had a few issues with it or fuel delivery (some O2 issues too), but after getting home I saw the P0335 code. I Immediately checked your channel for help. I replaced sensor same day and had it back in form in no time and only $40 . I just hit 200K miles and want to keep it running for a while longer. Thanks for the well done videos and time you put in them.
I have a frontier and I was inspecting the front suspensions 3 days ago and I saw that sensor and I was wondering what it was and there u go , now I know . Thanks brother
My bad, you are 5 correct. I screwed up because two of the 3 look the same and I installed them in reverse. Corrected it after it was still throwing the code. Let the dummies like me be aware that they should look for the o ring on the cam position sensor that the crank sensor doesn't have. I apologize for the incorrect statement. I bow to your superior intellectual prowess. Seriously.
Ry you have saved me hours of grief and research on the Xterra. Mine shuts off randomly pulling out from a stop sign or cruising down the highway only when it is really hot outside and an almost CEL but never would stick! So I replaced the cam sensors and cleaned my MAF and throttle body- no luck. It shut off today at work and FINALLY threw a CEL. Crank sensor code!! I was so excited to finally catch a code lol! Thanks again to you and your great video I will be replacing that sensor tomorrow.
When replacing the sensors, yes multiple, Cam position and crank position. Get the OEM from Nissan. I had issues with after market ones after just 90 days
Great video, as usual! Mine is an automatic, so it has a tube running in front of the connector as seen from the wheel well. Makes it a little tougher to get to.
Have to replace the 3 sensors on my 2015 Xterra Pro4x. The local dealership has so many requests they now have boxes of the the 3-sensor kits right on the counter of the parts department. The box has part number B3G31-AL627. The kit was $110. The crank sensor is the one with no rubber o-ring on it.
@@savutay The one I had the worst time with was behind the engine, right side (left if looking at engine). Laying across engine I worked on it a long time and ended up removing the sensor with the harness attached, then disconnected it. Just need a small socket wrench. One with a pivot head may have helped, can't remember now.
I have a 2011 and my Xterra has recently stalled a few times. Busted out the code reader and sure enough it was the crankshaft sensor A. Thanks for this vid Ry!
Did this today. Just turned the wheel all the way to the right. Took the liner out. Easy. Def get an extension for the wrench. Interestingly...this one didn't have a rubber ring. The Camshaft sensors did. All Hitachi. Bummer. Well the org one didn't either. Awesome video. Ry as always.
Doing this today! Thanks for the vid! They are always helpful when i work on my Xterra, honestly dont know why i still have this vehicle but it's much easier to work on thanks to your channel! Much love!
thanks Ry. I ordered all three of these from Rock Auto. The do sell OEM, Hitachi and NTK are what are used on our Trucks. i have a Frontier Nismo OffRoad. So I will replace these one my parts arrive. Thank You for showing the tricks. I think removing the Cam sensor connector is easy if you pull the sensor out with the connector attached and replace the sensor outside and the put it back. Either way all your videos are extremely helpful. A big Thank You
@@peterdoetsch7114 Hello. I will install them this weekend. but the truck runs fine for now. My truck sits for most days plugged in with battery tender.
Just a word of thanks for the video, it is extremely helpful. I have a 2014 Xterra "X" and for others with a 2014, you'll need a ten inch extension plus a swivel for your socket wrench to reach the bolt because of an interfering metal line (maybe AC, IDK ?) that doesn't exist on Ry's Xterra.
@@Rythecarguy 😁 just my luck, week after the radiator, I pull into work and see and smell rad fluid under the car, appears a rear coolant hose may have ruptured, to the point where it actively leaks out as I fill it. More research tonight for me! Still love my X
@@Rythecarguy turns out it was a line for the oil cooler, goes under the lower intake manifold. Not as hard as I thought might be, but $80 for coolant and gaskets to replace a $3 part. Part code: 21306-ea200
Fun fact: that fastener at 4:00 can be either a bolt or a screw, depending on how it's used. In this case it's a screw. If it were to fasten two unthreaded parts with a nut on the back then it would be a bolt.
Thanks for the video! You saved me time and money! The garage charges approximately $200 to replace the crank shaft sensor. The part is only around $40 and pretty simple to replace. I have a 2012 xterra and this is the second time the crank shaft sensor has been replaced. The first time I took it the garage because I did not know any better. Thanks again!
I have a 2018 Nissan frontier and these sensors went out and put new ones in and still had problems took it to my mechanic and he hocked it up to his computer and had to reset it and now it runs great
This job is much easier with the right tools…. A wobbly ratchet extension is almost a must…. I also found it easier to get to camshaft position sensor from the top of the engine rather than from this direction. Btw: my 2012 Xterra S has 3 wheel well clips…. Two behind the tire and one in front…. 👍👍👍
I've watched many of your vids before and found them helpful for the 2007 Nissan Xterra SE I have had for about 8 years now. But I'm currently stuck beating my head against a wall. Drove it the other day no issues parked it, went to start up today to take kids to school and go to work turn key to on everything normal all dash lights come on as usual, turn the key to crank the engine over and nada other than hearing a click from the engine bay maybe a relay opening and closing. No clicking or nothing like engine is trying to turn over and battery is dead or low. Cleaned all battery terminal connections and checked tightness, nothing. Went ahead and replaced starter, checked all connections again and still same thing. I'm at a loss other than IPDM might have gone bad or its something else I can't figure out. Did the IPDM check thing and all went the same as video I watched horn, wipers etc. Swapped fog light relay with ECU relay to see if relay bad and no change. Have I missed something or did IPDM go belly up?
@@SabrinaHawk Sadly, mine ended up being a simple fix but caused frustration because it was something that I was simply overlooking. My shifter cable had come loose and while on the center console it was showing in park but on the dash it was showing it was in reverse and that was why it would not turn over and run.
@@Rythecarguy dude you must have tiny hands because It was almost impossible to fit my hand in there to push the tab while pulling out with the transmission dipstick in the way.
Ryan I guess that’s your full name! This helps me a lot now I know I’m just gonna replace all three I’ve been having stall issues and I didn’t know if it’s bad gas or the fuel pump going out but it sounds like there’s probably the problem. Especially the code keeps popping up P0340 I have a frontier I’m sure it’s pretty darn similar looks the same
Hey Rick, for sure! The Xterra and Frontier have nearly identical drive trains. I have SO many videos on the Xterra that you should easily be able to use on the Fronty. Let me know if this helps. Enjoy!
Same engine as the pathfider and I have replaced all 3 of mine. Just did valve covers and inspected valve train, new plugs and coils. Timming chain is next week. And then total chaos UCA's
Mannn I love your videos I replaced the camshaft sensor is a few weeks ago for peace of mind and yesterday I replace my crankshaft sensor and it’s been acting weird every once in a while when I give it gas from making A turn it jerks and skips a few beats then keeps going idk maybe I got a bad sensor I might put the old one back in to see if it stops
@@Rythecarguy a little of both, we have a random stumble which isn't showing up in codes. I tried not pulling the fender liner and the wheel but eventually did so, just like in your video. The sensor may be factory original with 272k so it's prob due for replacement and we've replaced the cam sensors. Protip for anybody reading, do it Ry's way lol.
I watch all videos. Great work. If you could include a comparison of original part to new part. Wouldn’t hurt. My new sensor from Nissan was different than the original one so I was questioning myself on the part
Hey Ry great videos that you put out. I have a question hopefully you can answer. Had engine light go on and code came to change passengers cam pos sensor. So went ahead and changed all 3 sensors with OEM Nissan parts on 06 Nissan frontier. Changed 2 cam pos sensors and the crank position sensor. Engine light went away, but now long crank time before frontier turns on. Thanks again any feedback appreciated
ah... when I did my both camshaft sensors I did them the hard way I guess doing blind by had.. just from the top.. it was not easy lol so it is prob better doing it this way . But we live and learn thats all its about )
Your videos been saving me from hitting them shops and spending crazy money lol I just have one question.. Have your camshaft sensors gone bad?? I ordered the camshaft sensors from Amazon,the ones from your link in that video, But I heard after market might go bad in a few months or days???
Hello, I recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Xterra first gen. A previous "mechanic" was working on repairing the engine block that got damaged due to overheating. Now the car does not crank nor start. I noticed the engine harness has a plug that is not connected to anything and I am going in circles trying to figure out where that connector goes. It might not be my problem but I am guessing that connector should be installed somewhere. Is there any way for me to send you couple pictures for you so see the connector and see if you can guide me a bit on how to get this baby started again? This has to be an electrical issue that XYZ mechanic did not connect something correctly. Please help! Thanks
Hey Ry! Do you recommend using the same brand for the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors? I replaced both camshaft position sensors with Hitachi brand a week ago and was going to do the same for the crankshaft position sensors, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Would a Duralast or Carquest brand be okay to use?
Hey Man! I have an 03 xterra and the p0340 code came up. Where exactly is the camshaft sensor in a 2003 xterra? I’ve looked at multiple video and seem to not be able to find it still. Thank you!
I have 2012 xterra and engine knocks so hardly most of time when I reach 3 gear at low speeds I changed spark fuelpunp and injectors! Can someone give me some help !?
I have never drove a stick shift before I drove one today for the first time by listening to a few people I got on 610 freeway I pressed the clutch when I wanted to put it in gear when I got off the freeway and start smoking now we won't even turn on can you tell me what it could be
That my merch. I made it and it was on limited release a couple years back. Thinking about doing another run as I have gotten a lot of questions about it.
Is there 1 or 2 crankshaft sensors on a 2013 Nissan exterra? Had a part store tell me there was 2 but not sure can anyone help me out.thanks in advance
Awesome tutorial and the second time your videos have been helpful!. Thanks so much for putting these together! I wish I could say the most recent DIY had gone as smoothly as the first video when I changed out my valve timing sensor. This time around I had the crankshaft position sensor to replace. In short, I broke the bolt and then proceeded to break an extractor in said bolt. FML. This is after drilling a very well centered hole and just making the mistake of not drilling to the next size extractor as recommended. Yes. Here's my question. Is it possible to remove the transmission dip stick guide tube in situ? If I could get this out of my way in the right wheel well, I'd have a clear shot to hit it with the rotary grinder
I am not sure if you will see this but I've had an issue with my 2007 Xterra for months now ...basically the truck wouldn't start..I jumped it and it started , eventually replaced the battery same thing was happening ..but it always started by jumping and then would run for a few weeks and do it again. I have the cat code for bank2 and the for awhile now ... I thought it was related to the ignition kill from the dealer but they said they had nothing to do with it ..but a few times I disconnected and it started. So I have no idea
Do you know if the 2002 Nissan Xterra has 2 crankshaft position sensors? I changed one on the driver side behind the tire but didn’t know there was a 2nd one on that passenger side
No sir, you could consider it if you have a tight fit and the oring starts to roll back. But in this case there is plenty of space and you wont need it. 👍🏻
I recently did all 3 on a 2006 Xterra SE. I had replaced just one sensor about 3-4 years ago and then these years later it mysteriously died on me. I had heard that not replacing all 3 can cause weird problems so I just replaced all 3 simultaneously and went to start it back up and it’s running supper rough - all the check engine lights are lit up like a Christmas tree. Any ideas?
Random shut off So the other day my RPM, temperature, oil, battery, gas and miles per hour. All just turned off my car was still going, headlights turned off. Cluster lights turned off and then everything came back on There wasn't any change or noises. I was still able to give it gas and apply brakes then all of a sudden everything came back on and it was fine. Then today same thing except I couldn't go anywhere then it kicked back on and was accelerating and braking etc Any ideas?
I just replaced both camshaft sensors and the crank sensor and now the 2012 pathfinder won’t even start. Could someone please help me out? SOLVED: Super embarrassing guys but I began the process of elimination and began reinstalling both of the old sensors one by one starting with camshaft bank 2 (45° one, right side when facing engine) and no luck. Left the old one in bank 2 and reinstalled the old cam sensor bank one, and discovered my stupid mistake. I was tightening the bolt and it seemed to never tighten. I thought I was over tightening and checked and inadvertently pushed the cam sensor in fully and heard a pop-I hadn’t pushed in the camshaft sensors all the way. 😑😑😑😑 pushed both old sensors in all the way and hand tightens the nut. Went to start the car and voila! Car came to life and engine turned over. Reinstalled the new, Nissan OEM cam sensors on bank 1 and 2 and this time, made sure they were filled sealed, and the engine roared to life. Ended up taking the passenger wheel off and making sure the crank sensor was fully seated and it was. Noob mistake. Thank God I caught it.
It's usually always the passenger cam sensor lol. The x's get way to warm under the hood. I've done them enough i have spares in my shop and it's a piece of cake haha...
@@Rythecarguy ya, i have no clue. Im trying to track down the intermittent super rough idle that throws the evap leak codes. Any idea where to start? I've replace the valve on the canister. Havnt checked any hoses. But really dont want to spend a couple hundred on a new can!
i just did this today, it wouldnt start at first then it finally turned over, went for a test drive and started hesitating and just shut off while driving, then wouldnt start again, had to get towed home, anyone know what i did wrong? or maybe a faulty sensor?
I have a 2008 SE. I see no reason to remove the inside cover in the fender. I can pull back a little and slip my hand right in to get to the sensor. I can see the sensor from outside the vehicle without even removing the wheel although I will do that to get closer to plug and bolt. Has anyone tried this?
Anyone have tips for pulling out the bolt for the sensor when it falls down into the bellhousing? No idea how I managed to mess up such an easy fix this bad.
Bro! How did you manage that? There should be an inspection panel at the very bottom of the bell housing. It's used to access your fly wheel. You should be able to unscrew the bolts on the inspection panel, pull it off, and get your bolt out from there.
When I pulled the bad part the bolt came undone and I'm almost sure it fell down there cause it's nowhere to be found. Thank you so much for your reply I'll check it out and try that out!!
@@Rythecarguy Dude I opened up the inspection plate and couldn't see anything. I'm not sure if it did go in there or not. I think my next move is turning the engine by hand. I'm gonna see if I can find a procedure to follow on forums😭
I have the 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, has the same issue, I'm going to go ahead and replace the crankshaft position sensor, I didn't hear you mention what the engine is, mine is the 4.0, sensor is in the same place, so you might want to mention what engine you're working on, so if we aren't working on the 2 models you are, we still might have the same thing in a different model. I hope this cures the dying while driving issue. I think it will.

I also did the plugs and coil packs recently and it ran good for a few weeks and started the same crap again
Thanks alot Bro. Finally found it.
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Super helpful!! Thank you
I watch all videos. Great work. If you could include a comparison of original part to new part. Wouldn’t hurt. My new sensor from Nissan was different than the original one so I was questioning myself on the part
I had that on my 2008 x. Repair shop had a pending code for the crank position sensor. Replacement solved the problem.
Excellent! Glad you have it resolved. It's an important sensor.
Hey Ry great videos that you put out. I have a question hopefully you can answer. Had engine light go on and code came to change passengers cam pos sensor. So went ahead and changed all 3 sensors with OEM Nissan parts on 06 Nissan frontier. Changed 2 cam pos sensors and the crank position sensor. Engine light went away, but now long crank time before frontier turns on. Thanks again any feedback appreciated
You definitely helped me,thank you 👊
You're welcome! Have a great night
ah... when I did my both camshaft sensors I did them the hard way I guess doing blind by had.. just from the top.. it was not easy lol so it is prob better doing it this way . But we live and learn thats all its about )
That's right! 👍🏻
Your videos been saving me from hitting them shops and spending crazy money lol
I just have one question..
Have your camshaft sensors gone bad??
I ordered the camshaft sensors from Amazon,the ones from your link in that video,
But I heard after market might go bad in a few months or days???
Nope, mine have been great! 👍🏻
Good info! Thanks for the video.
I own a 2000 v6 frontier, manual transmission can you do a video on how to replace a crankshaft position sensor. I appreciate it. 🙏
Do you have the OEM part number for the crankshaft sensor from Nissan? I’m having this issue now on my 2011 X
Great video bro..thanks
No problem 👍 thanks for watching ,
Hello, I recently purchased a 2000 Nissan Xterra first gen. A previous "mechanic" was working on repairing the engine block that got damaged due to overheating. Now the car does not crank nor start. I noticed the engine harness has a plug that is not connected to anything and I am going in circles trying to figure out where that connector goes. It might not be my problem but I am guessing that connector should be installed somewhere. Is there any way for me to send you couple pictures for you so see the connector and see if you can guide me a bit on how to get this baby started again? This has to be an electrical issue that XYZ mechanic did not connect something correctly. Please help! Thanks
Thanks bro!
Can u get to the crankshaft censor from the top because gonna be replacing valve cover gaskets and I wanted to know if I can access it from the top?
Oh yea. If you have the valve covers off it's gunna be cake
Hey Ry! Do you recommend using the same brand for the crankshaft and camshaft position sensors? I replaced both camshaft position sensors with Hitachi brand a week ago and was going to do the same for the crankshaft position sensors, but they seem to be out of stock everywhere. Would a Duralast or Carquest brand be okay to use?
Hey Man! I have an 03 xterra and the p0340 code came up. Where exactly is the camshaft sensor in a 2003 xterra? I’ve looked at multiple video and seem to not be able to find it still. Thank you!
The camshaft is going to be inside the distributor. You’re better off replacing the whole distributor to prevent any issues
Does anyone know why I would have to change the camshaft sensors as well?
I have 2012 xterra and engine knocks so hardly most of time when I reach 3 gear at low speeds I changed spark fuelpunp and injectors! Can someone give me some help !?
I have never drove a stick shift before I drove one today for the first time by listening to a few people I got on 610 freeway I pressed the clutch when I wanted to put it in gear when I got off the freeway and start smoking now we won't even turn on can you tell me what it could be
Thanks!
No, thank YOU!
I have a hissing noise in engine and a lean code. You think that a vacuum leak could be the culprit? Code p1283
Where did you get the shirt ? Let me know I love it
That my merch. I made it and it was on limited release a couple years back. Thinking about doing another run as I have gotten a lot of questions about it.
Nice gracias
De nada!
Is there 1 or 2 crankshaft sensors on a 2013 Nissan exterra? Had a part store tell me there was 2 but not sure can anyone help me out.thanks in advance
Awesome tutorial and the second time your videos have been helpful!. Thanks so much for putting these together!
I wish I could say the most recent DIY had gone as smoothly as the first video when I changed out my valve timing sensor. This time around I had the crankshaft position sensor to replace. In short, I broke the bolt and then proceeded to break an extractor in said bolt. FML. This is after drilling a very well centered hole and just making the mistake of not drilling to the next size extractor as recommended. Yes.
Here's my question. Is it possible to remove the transmission dip stick guide tube in situ? If I could get this out of my way in the right wheel well, I'd have a clear shot to hit it with the rotary grinder
You're welcome, thanks for watching and be sure to sub. Still new X content coming out.
Do you recommend the oem sensor or Hitachi brand ?
Hitachi Might be the OEM provider. but yes, I do recommend OEM.
I am not sure if you will see this but I've had an issue with my 2007 Xterra for months now ...basically the truck wouldn't start..I jumped it and it started , eventually replaced the battery same thing was happening ..but it always started by jumping and then would run for a few weeks and do it again. I have the cat code for bank2 and the for awhile now ... I thought it was related to the ignition kill from the dealer but they said they had nothing to do with it ..but a few times I disconnected and it started. So I have no idea
Do you know if the 2002 Nissan Xterra has 2 crankshaft position sensors? I changed one on the driver side behind the tire but didn’t know there was a 2nd one on that passenger side
Oh yes. I would imagine if its a v6
Hey ryan have you had to do your heater core
No and I am very grateful LOL.
Yeah it’s a nightmare I haven’t done it yet but mine started seeping so I had to bypass but it looks zero fun
Is this the same for 02 Nissan Xterra?
No, I am sorry.
Hey Ry, do you have to use any grease products while putting in a new sensor?
No sir, you could consider it if you have a tight fit and the oring starts to roll back. But in this case there is plenty of space and you wont need it. 👍🏻
I recently did all 3 on a 2006 Xterra SE. I had replaced just one sensor about 3-4 years ago and then these years later it mysteriously died on me. I had heard that not replacing all 3 can cause weird problems so I just replaced all 3 simultaneously and went to start it back up and it’s running supper rough - all the check engine lights are lit up like a Christmas tree. Any ideas?
Random shut off
So the other day my RPM, temperature, oil, battery, gas and miles per hour. All just turned off my car was still going, headlights turned off. Cluster lights turned off and then everything came back on There wasn't any change or noises. I was still able to give it gas and apply brakes then all of a sudden everything came back on and it was fine.
Then today same thing except I couldn't go anywhere then it kicked back on and was accelerating and braking etc
Any ideas?
I just replaced both camshaft sensors and the crank sensor and now the 2012 pathfinder won’t even start.
Could someone please help me out?
SOLVED: Super embarrassing guys but I began the process of elimination and began reinstalling both of the old sensors one by one starting with camshaft bank 2 (45° one, right side when facing engine) and no luck. Left the old one in bank 2 and reinstalled the old cam sensor bank one, and discovered my stupid mistake. I was tightening the bolt and it seemed to never tighten. I thought I was over tightening and checked and inadvertently pushed the cam sensor in fully and heard a pop-I hadn’t pushed in the camshaft sensors all the way. 😑😑😑😑 pushed both old sensors in all the way and hand tightens the nut. Went to start the car and voila! Car came to life and engine turned over.
Reinstalled the new, Nissan OEM cam sensors on bank 1 and 2 and this time, made sure they were filled sealed, and the engine roared to life.
Ended up taking the passenger wheel off and making sure the crank sensor was fully seated and it was.
Noob mistake. Thank God I caught it.
Glad you got it worked out my man.
Subbed
🤘🏻🤘🏻
It's usually always the passenger cam sensor lol. The x's get way to warm under the hood. I've done them enough i have spares in my shop and it's a piece of cake haha...
Crazy that they suck so bad.
@@Rythecarguy ya, i have no clue. Im trying to track down the intermittent super rough idle that throws the evap leak codes. Any idea where to start? I've replace the valve on the canister. Havnt checked any hoses. But really dont want to spend a couple hundred on a new can!
How do you know if it’s the right or left cmp?
For the second gen Xterra there is only one. If there was two, it would tell you what bank the bad one is on.
I wanted the crankshaft position sensor not the camshaft. I stand corrected.
That's the crank.
what year is your x terra?
2005 second gen
Does anyone know if the other sensor is located in the same location, on the driver side?
The crank only has one sensor in the Xterra. The cams have one in each cylinder head.
Is this a 4.0 or a 2.5. I cant find any videos on my 2.5
4.0 second gen
where is the cranck shaft position sensor is located in 2002 nissan frontier
I'm sorry I do not know. I have not worked on that generation.
I want that xterra tshirt. Where can I get one?
That was a limited edition run. Planning on doing another one soon.
@@Rythecarguy sign me up. Love your vids.
Great video except my socket doesn’t go in as easy and can’t get the 10mm nut off
Sorry to hear that
What year is this
2005
i just did this today, it wouldnt start at first then it finally turned over, went for a test drive and started hesitating and just shut off while driving, then wouldnt start again, had to get towed home, anyone know what i did wrong? or maybe a faulty sensor?
I have a 2008 SE. I see no reason to remove the inside cover in the fender. I can pull back a little and slip my hand right in to get to the sensor. I can see the sensor from outside the vehicle without even removing the wheel although I will do that to get closer to plug and bolt. Has anyone tried this?
Anyone have tips for pulling out the bolt for the sensor when it falls down into the bellhousing? No idea how I managed to mess up such an easy fix this bad.
Bro! How did you manage that? There should be an inspection panel at the very bottom of the bell housing. It's used to access your fly wheel. You should be able to unscrew the bolts on the inspection panel, pull it off, and get your bolt out from there.
When I pulled the bad part the bolt came undone and I'm almost sure it fell down there cause it's nowhere to be found. Thank you so much for your reply I'll check it out and try that out!!
That's a bummer. Let me know how it goes!
@@Rythecarguy Dude I opened up the inspection plate and couldn't see anything. I'm not sure if it did go in there or not. I think my next move is turning the engine by hand. I'm gonna see if I can find a procedure to follow on forums😭
Sorry buddy!! Let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
Yeah you showed us where it is 1:30 minutes into the video. You got some hands boy
Thanks I think? Lol
Да очень интересно! Но sensor чего именно?!
Этот датчик сообщает компьютеру положение коленчатого вала и сравнивает его с положением распредвалов. Это важно для ГРМ двигателя.
Dealership was charging me $800 for the replacement I’m paying a mechanic to do it for $250 plus parts
What!?! That's crazy money for the crank sensor.
I have the 2011 Nissan Pathfinder, has the same issue, I'm going to go ahead and replace the crankshaft position sensor, I didn't hear you mention what the engine is, mine is the 4.0, sensor is in the same place, so you might want to mention what engine you're working on, so if we aren't working on the 2 models you are, we still might have the same thing in a different model.
I hope this cures the dying while driving issue. I think it will.
