Nissan Murano Camshaft Sensor Tips
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 ก.ย. 2024
- A very common fault for late model Nissan ,including the 07 Nissan Murano, of to which we uncover specifications, testing and replacement.
A PO340 fault is a camshaft sensor position code, and with a basic check should not have any oil contaminants on the sensor connectors.The valve cover gaskets can be a common area of leak source towards the rear of the cylinder heads. Cure the leak, clean the connector and in some occasions that will resolve the problem. An oil soaked connector will not allow for a good pathway of electronic signal.
The camshaft sensor should have a voltage reading of 1.0-4.0 volts. (The pulse cycle will change as engine RPM is increased ; 3:29 on video reveals what a bad wave form looks like).
When replacing the camshaft sensor it is highly recommended to replace them in pairs along with crankshaft sensor, as they can reproduce the same type of symptoms ( an extended crank or a phantom stalling situation).
NISSAN PARTS :
Camshaft sensor ( Front Bank by Radiator) 2371-AL61A
Camshaft sensor (Rear Bank by Firewall) 23731-6J90B
Crank Shaft Sensor 23731-AL60C

Nice to show exacrt location of those sensors from far prospectives and close details. Thanks.
Helpful video,thanks.
I find checking the oil level difficult to do on the Nissan Murano
Little trick tip. Make sure the vehicle has been off for over 15 minutes to get the most accurate oil reading .
This was a good helpful video up to the actual changing of the part. I agree with a previous comment that some people want to see the part changed out slowly. And never use music. Subtitles if anything.
Aaron Dalin ~ no doubt. As you can see ~ we walked away from producing videos for a while so we could actually study what should be done better ~ we WILL ramp up fresh videos soon and definitely take every single comment as a way for us to better help all ~ thanks a bunch -Frank
Great Video! Nissan 2006 Quest V6 died while driving 2 times in 2 weeks. WE had Bank sensor 1 error. Replaced it,then, had Bank sensor 2 error. Replaced it, still have Bank sensor 2 error.
I love the information! Great video Frank. Luckily, I've already learned how to remove those clips and cam sensors, so the tutorial on how to do so was not needed. However, others might of liked this addition had you included it. Thanks for all the help!
Xtrndk...great point ! Will dial in these videos & work to improve as we progress here..rock on ! -Frank
Good morning! May I have your help?
My Nissan Murano 2004 180.000 miles is presenting some hesitations and sudden stop in the way at 70 miles x hr. The engine decrease the RPM, them the brake light on steady and the check engine light appear. I stopped the car, turn off the engine and turn on back. The check engine light remain on, but the symptoms disappear. Can be the same issue that you are describing in this video? Thanks a lot for your help! And, forgive me if you find any grammar mistake, I trying to do my best to speak and write English well!
You have the absolute cleanest work shoes I have ever seen.... my work shoes do not resemble yours lol
Geesh --leave to those counter folks to show up and do mechanical tip vids LOL --right on ! Thanks for stopping by !
Thanks
I have a 2007 Nissan Murano s ive replaced all three sensors myself but the same problems are there had to buy new connectors from ebay and pig tail them in seemed to work for the crankshaft sensor but not the camshaft sensors need help asap the car has a very rough start now
Very good video learning something new every day...
Thanks for the tips! Great video compare to others on the same subject!
Thanks Mike ! We really enjoy doing the vids and appreciate you stopping by !
Thanks for a great video. The oil level really does matter for these sensors. I was about 3/4 quart low. Once I added oil, the problem went away.
Hey frank 7/28/2024 4 am i just bought a 2004 Nissan Murano 3.5L v6 the guy said he replaced both of those sensors bank 1and bank2 but i noticed it is smoking little?
I have no check engine light but my nissan murano has died while driving. Everything shuts off. After a minute, im able to restart car and get home. Im so frustrated.Do u think this might be my problem?
Very good job on the video, Very informative All around great job :)
Thanks !
Hey Frank great video man I have the 2010 and it stalled yesterday , do you think this is a project I should take on or I should take it to a shop? your thoughts
Are you getting a trouble code?
any videos on how to change the camshaft position sensor connector?
Unfortunately we don’t have it up at this time ~ I would say the biggest thing here is to ensure wiring connection/splice is done properly ~ sorry we couldn’t help more here
I have a 2008 Sentra 1.8 engine 160k. I’m getting the dreaded P0011 code. The dealer said it needed a timing chain. I ordered Nissan parts off of E bay and had it installed. The internal engine looked great. The light came back on. It has a new crank and cam sensor in it and both from Nissan. What am I missing? What else can it be? It’s running like it did when it was new. My wife and I love this car and we want to keep it. The dealer said they have seen this problem before but not in 160 K. Any ideas?
Carl Jenkins ~ tough to say here ~ call me at the garage ~ will try & research for you
RAFI HAD TOYOTA CARS FOR YEARS & hardly anything goes wrong with TOYOTA CARS. ALL MY TOYOTA CARS RUSTED FROM NEW ENGLAND WEATHER. MECHANICAL WISE ALL HAD LASTED GOOD 15 years or more. FIRST WAS TOYOTA CAROLLA 1.8 Liter engine
MAINTENANCE IS KEY TO A RELIABLE TOYOTA.
1. Put BRAND NEW BATTERY- EVERY 4 years.
2. Changed CAP, ROTORS, SPARK PLUGS & IGNITION WIRES 60, 000 miles. ( even though it is early preventative maintenance)
3. Threw in FRONT BRAKE PADS 3 years HALF or less worn pads ( even though it is early preventative maintenance)
4. Would remove TRANSMISSION PAN ( so many 10 mm bolts) CHANGE FILTER of transmission), clean pan.
5. Radiator COOLANT- 40,0000 miles ( off course, ADD 50/50 ready MIX COOLANT).
6. Not last or least all belts of vehicles 35,000 miles
WAS NOT AFRAID TO HAVE MECHANIC DRIVE , and ask..
If anything missed besides oil changes etc
LIKE RAFI SAID, BEEN BLESSED WITH SUCCESSFUL TRIPS MAINE to TORONTO, CANADA & QUEENS ( New York ). MILLIONS OF TIMES.
OH ! What TOYOTA CARS, made with PRECISION AND ACCURACY.

Hey there quick question which one is bank 1 camshaft ?
Just buy a sensor with a lifetime warranty as I did 9 years ago. I just went to Autozone last week and got a new one at no cost. The sensor lasted 9 years.
Frank, I wanted to know about the air pressure indicator mine stays on. 2007 Nissan Murano
2005 Nissan maxima no lights on jerks when I slow down to 20 just got the Val body done and changed crankshaft position sensors and camshaft
So helpful 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
It worked out for me.... But what if it's continues what should I do?? 🙄🤦♂️
Does the Autel unit you are using have pids for both bank's camshaft sensors and vtc solenoids? What I do after checking for proper engine oil level is to put all 4 on screen and look at duty% of solenoids each and deg.of advance of timing of each. When one of the phase sensors is bad you will see no change under load in drive with foot on brake(aprox.1200rpm).
John Kimmel ..great question. The Autel has 2 channel scope ability & we typically don't have an issue with that setup. We can go to our SnapOn Modus 4 channel if necessary..great input ! Thanks
The total cost with Factory OE sensors installed right around the $250-300 ish mark. Did you need a garage recommendation near you ?
I have a Nissan Murano, the engine light came on, it stall on me one time. There seems to be a little vibration and missing with the engine. I took it to a mechanic they told me one of the cool needs to be change, the engine light came off when I took it from the garage. But the following day while reversing, I noticed the engine light came back on. I also felt a vibration. What you think is the issue?
I have a question about a 2006 G35. A mechanic did some work on it last year and since then my parking lights don’t blink when I lock and unlock. He claimed he changed the body control module. And replaced the immobilizer. Any help will be excepted. Thank you sir.
Hope you can assist. I have a 2006 Nissan pathfinder. Droe in snow and then my slip, abs, VDC off, 4x4 lights went on and the 4x4 picture showing wheels went blank. Any idea guys?
Kosie Schumyn ~ call us at the garage for this one ~ tough to say what this could be without testing
Just swooped out bank 1&2 camshaft sensors on my 02 nissan altima 3.5....she runs worse and clanking sound, now codes read advanced timing. How do I relearn timing control?
I have a 2000 nissan maxima. And she is having a cold hard start, and when the car is completely warm up it stalls. But this only happens when the engine light is on. Once i clear the code the car drives great. What could this be?
so did the car. comeback with issues or was it fixed?
Fixed
Are they the same as that of the Elgrand VG33?
In theory yes . Double check part numbers & make sure to stick with OE parts ! Hope this helps - good luck here !
Hey frank I have a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder 3.5 platinum 4WD I have a stalling issue due to cold weather when it gets to -10• C and no check engine light came on and no codes came up what could be the problem I went to Nissan dealership and they couldn’t locate the problem my vehicle is at 170 thousand Km please help me out
What kind of rachet wrench are you using? Got my eyes on some tekton extra long ones 👍.. Got A get me some
hello i have a nissan murano which is having high idle and keeps on going up and down
I have a 06 Nissan Murano I have a p0011 code I was wondering where is bank one
I changed all of the camshaft sensors and crank sensors but i still have an issue with the engine light and slip. I cleaned the connector and it still is there. Before the sensors came on i actually serviced my car and then after that it came on when i parked. It takes a while to start as well.
Greetings Desert..Rich here quick question I'm currently running 06MaXse 5At..and I'm having a p0731..car drives quite fine..I check transmission fluid it's all good..wires all good..would the transmission speed sensor cause that code..thanks In advance..any info would be greatly appreciated
Hi Frank, my nissan murano 2007 Awd with 130K have the same problem in your video. I lived in Las Vegas do you have a branch here?

hello am jenny i have a question...i have a nissan murano 2005... first time owner of a car in general..so am learning. my airbag light is flashing and my horn went out also i took it to nissan which the putmy car on the machine and it gave 5 different problem according to them so i went ahead bought the parts so my bother can fix it turn out out of 3 engine mount i need 1 everything else i have replace and nothing seem to work nissan wanted to charge me 3,500for all the problem.. can you please explain to me what cause that or post a video of what to do when this happen....thank you
Jenny Tirado ...I suspect the horn & air bag related to a clock spring fault. Email me details & I will video. Hang in there ...all good . -Frank
can i have an email am new to your channel..thank for the reply
Jenny Tirado ...frank@desertcarcare.com
You need to change the angle sensor. It's inside the steering wheel just in the center.
It's in charge of all the problems you mentioned. I had the same problem with my Nissan Armada !
When u drive car on the low speed car runs fine but when u give a speed tittle bit its start to slip the transmission
Bobby Ali ~first things first ~ Check that transmission fluid level . If low ~ refill to spec & repair the potential leaks. Otherwise you may have a shift solenoid or internal transmission fault. Where are you ~ I can recommend a transmission shop by if needed. Good luck here .
So how does low oil level induce a cam sensor issue? How does that actually work?
I have a nissan Micra k12..
How many camshafts is there and how many crankshafts?
And where are they in the engine?
My 07 murano hesitates when accelerating. Code1721 came up speed sensor. No SES light is on. Sensor is $200.am I out of $200 if it doesn't fix the problem. That was he only code from diag.
Thanks for the tips buddy,
How much it would cost to change both crank shaft & camshaft sensor?
where is the crankshaft position sensor located on this car?
I have a Nissan murrano when I press the gass and start driving and stars hesitating to go . I have no check engen lights on
Johnny Placido ~ tough to say without seeing & testing < you may have the beginning stages of an ignition coil that may be starting to go out or a need for a good ol fashion tune up < have it tested before you start throwing parts at it ~ good luck here
Hey I was wondering if you figured out the problemI have a 2007 Nissan Murano SL I have changed the oil did a full tune-up replace my whole exhaust system and every O2 sensor. My car tries to die if I turn the AC on and does not run well at low gears if I stop giving it gas
@@briancollard6825 & Johnny placido , Have u tried cleaning the throttle body, When clogged up it usually creates hestistion or even stalling at initial take off and during stop and go situations, also it is related to AC operation as well.
Awesome job my brother!!!
Thank you!!!
Why on the motion and accelerating, the car will just stop accelerating until you put it in neutral off and then it back before it continue working
One thing that needs to be mentioned regarding replacement sensors. I replaced these about 8-10 years ago, and just replaced them again last week. Getting under the hood, and was all sorts of oilin/around both sensors. After pulling them out, did a double-take when comparing to new replacements. Old ones had no o-rings, new ones did.
Well, I know who the dummy is now... But I'm sure I didn't remove the O-rings on the original replacements, and I always check packaging.
I'm assuming the OEM ones must have had them, not sure why I didn't catch when replacing the first time.
Just keep a look out.
And BTW, this time I replaced both cam sensors as last time, however was still getting P0340 error afterwards. Since its got 150K on it, I replaced the crank sensor, and no more problems.
Muy buen tips el del aceite.
I have 05 Nissan maxima and I am getting code P0021 but I am able to drive around okay .I do have a rattling noise for a quick moment when I shift or start up my car. Is this related or is there something else
Keith James ...reach out to me at the garage for this one brother ~~Frank.
Cam sensor, 0011=1side
0021=other side
I have a 2006 missan murano 3.5 litre engine it started missing it runs for a couple minutes then dies and have to let it sit for about 15 minutes it is throwing a cam sensor code po340 any ideas greatly appricated

Please i need your help on this: my engine was drop for the purpose of changing pisting and ring. after the engine was fixed and mounted. i discovered oil leakage from gearbox. The gearbox oil seal was immediate replaced. The oil leakage resurface after driving the car. the seal has been change for the third time it seems the problem refuse to go. please any advice.
peter damisa ...using a "dye" in the system along with a UV light may help pinpoint. If you are talking about the rear main seal ..make sure crank surface where the seal is seated is not etched or scored. Let me know how things turn out for you. -Frank
Hi, thx for this great video! I changed all 3 sensors about a month ago as i had trouble at cold start, then it worked great, and yesterday the p0345 bank 2 error code is back! Any advice ? Thx a lot and happy new year !!!
Matthieu ~ were they aftermarket or Nissan sensors ? We have seen problems with aftermarket cam sensors here, but need to confirm, otherwise need to test it to know for sure. Call ya at the garage if you need any further help over the phone ~

Good point. Test and verify either way
Will do , and thank u bruh
Instead of making a highly edited video with house music in background (during most important part), why not just show how to change the damn sensors properly. You basically made a music video with a mechanic shop theme...
1milazzo ...yes sir. No doubt. Great point. As I progress with these videos..definitely will dial it in. Great point. Well taken. --Frank
@@Desertcarcare Your video was fine with nothing to change. The music was not even on that long, and the footage of you changing the sensors was "SELF-EXPLANATORY"...you can't please everybody. Thank you, as this helped me out with my problem on my Murano.
Frank my man,
I have a 350z 06 3.5 and it too popped a P0021 crankshaft sensor. so i fleaned both VVT sensors and replaced both bank 1 and 2 camshaft position sensors and cleared codes and it keeps popping back up. the first time it happened both codes P0021 twice and P0300 twice came up i did manage to clear for good the p0300 misfire but cam sensors i cant figure out why or why not. can you help please
Denny Christensen ~ring me at the garage ~ do my best to help !~Frank
@@Desertcarcare ok well im going to do another oil change sense i just remembered i used a additive used for getting hp back. after looking at the fluid/oil on the VVT selanoid it showed copper flakes in it. this could be clogging up my VVT but not positive on this yet. This car has many issues including rear drive axel or wheel bearings or bushing shot and a 2000.0 crap clutch that some idiot installed in Kirkland washington and only put 2.5 qaurts of oil instead of 3.5 and could have lost life of the clutch it self. I look you up at the garage my friend.
Good job
Those three sensors are expensive! Do people really replace all three together?
Hello guys, quick question, when replacing the icu on a 2008 altima do i have to tow it to the dealer to get reprogram? my friends icu got corrosion from the battery and is all damaged.
Yes. You may find alternative tricks & tips throughout the Internet to avoid this, however, flash programming will absolutely ensure all is reliable with the air/fuel management system. Good luck !
my murano 2005 starts but dies when i accelerates and will not starts back untill few hours , i change all sensors cam and cranksharft , need some advice

Thank you , what is your opening time ?
Dudley LaRocque ..ring me around 11am..all good.
Tip #1 was don't replace parts that are okay. Action: we're going to replace all 3 sensors even though two of them are fine!!!!
WiscoFun < good point inserted.
We made the assertion based upon the age of all 3 and the common failures that can occur thereafter ~ if you have one failing ~ it is certainly your choice to replace what is only broken |failing at that time .
If you were to come back with the same symptoms months later , you could argue why do I have the same concerns/symptoms and furthermore why didn’t you advise me of the aged other related sensors that could have been remedied on the first visit after a costly tow and missed day of work.
Use your judgement with what you feel is right for you as it is your ultimate call on what you decide to do.
Our goal here is to inform folks of options and declare some of the real world pattern failures that they may decide to completely avoid, of to which some may decide to not bother with a headache that could be looming .
@@Desertcarcare I agree, because if I wouldn't go ahead and replace the third sensor guarantee you 6 months later it would go anyway. Better safe than sorry LOL
Hello my husband replaced all three sensors all OEM. 1 camshaft was new the other used and the crankshaft was used. Now were getting the P0021 code, we have spent soo much money in repairs and we don't want to buy anymore parts unless we can be sure what the problem is. I've read that sometimes its just a bad camshaft, what should we do to eliminate which part is really defective i.e cam crank or ivt solenoid.
Alureals....best to discuss this one over the phone. Reach out 480 726 6400, and I can get you answers ! -Frank
Okay I will tell my husband to call you. He will understand the mechanic talk more. LOL
Thank you. Changing out as a set sounds good.
Why does my 2009 nissan Murano engine click after it has been turned off?
Also..camshaft sensor error came when i took it to Advance auto parts to have it checked.
merci beaucoup
Hello. I have a 2007 nissan murano i had the service engine soon light and car kept shutting off went to auto zone got code p0340 replaced both cam shafts and car raned fine for 2 days but the code came back on. I just keep getting code p0340. Took it to 3 mechanics and all they did was change camshafts. Should i replace them again and crankshaft as well with original nissan or hatachi sensors?
Nutz Mel make sure they review waveforms & capture glitches. Cam & crank sensors common ~~go with NISSAN ~~make absolutely sure they test for faults & not solely code reading ~~Frank
Both cam sensors & crank sensor all replaced together if one defective ~~good policy to do them all here 🤜🏼
Desert Car Care
Will do. Thank you Frank!
Nutz Mel ~~good luck here brother ~~here if ya need help no worries.
WELL DONE 👍 👍

Like other 3.5 Nissans it's burning oil. Other issues: timing chain, cvt transmission, subframe rust. These cars are junk!
TruAgape1234 ...indeed. The list can go on. Thanks for the input !
If by junk you mean a car that can run over 350k miles then yeah. The cars are as good as their owners. Oil, coolant, and transmission fluid change on schedule and car should run fine. No major problems on my daughters 04 Maxima with 357k miles on it.

By what logic do you justify Changing all 3 Sensors when only one is failed?? 60 bucks for the Crank Sensor and $75 each for the cam sensors. You guys must have a gold mine where you're at on extremely uninformed customers. That is just Nuts, a rip off in mild terms. Advice the customer let them make the decision! I always change the one that is bad and not guess whether or not the others will fail soon. That is the silliest thing I have heard. A Year from now if the other one fails it can be addressed then. You obviously know how to use a scope and also know that this is about a 2 minute test so why bother replacing all sensors at once.
Ralf's Automotive Diagnostics & Repair ~~great points. Options always given no doubt as we advise & they decide. Thanks for stopping by !
Poor design. If one sensor fails, the car stalls......immediately. Very dangerous. I needed to replace them on my old 2004 Murano which I call my Home Depot - Lowes junk car. Then again, what didn't I need to replace in this car. LOL! Although old, only has 65,000 miles. The aftermarket sensors are fine off eBay and Amazon. Don't waste your money on OEM parts as the device is very simple. These are basically an electromagnet. In fact, I'm surprised they can fail during the life of the engine. Likely poorly designed and the core is eventually affected by heat. The retainer clips are shaky as well with the locking tab easily broken.
Absolutely right! Unless one is buying janky no-name of eBay, one can easily replace both cam sensors for $30 from RockAuto.
These sensors are basically Hall-Effect sensors which detect when a magnet on the cam swings by. That causes the sensor to send a voltage pulse to the ECM which can then figure out where the cam is in its rotation. Other sensors may be different and more complex and worthy on NOT picking the Econo-cheapo part. However the cam and crank (IIRC) are almost as simple and basic as can be. Worse, it really does take about 10 minutes to change both, with the bulk of the time spent on figuring out how they un-clip.
@@boots7859 RockAuto doesn't sell them. Also, the $18 for the "pair" Isumo Chinese sensors on eBay are identical to the $75 "each" Duralast sensors sold at AutoZone. They're the same part from the same factory stamped with the Duralast brand. I was told this by a trusted mechanic I know who does repairs that I won't attempt.
