I have 2 codes P0340 and P0011 reading on my check engine. I took my car for an oil change and had them see if they could diagnose the issue. They said I needed 1 of my camshaft position sensors replaced. I think I recall him saying also that once one goes out the second one is not far behind it. Not sure if that's true or not... Show
My question is this: I have found a really good deal on the sensors and to save on labor should I go ahead and replace the one that is bad and the 2nd one that the oil and lube guy was talking about? Secondly, does this mean the 3rd and the 4th are on their way out too and it's just a matter of time? Or should I only replace the one that needs it and assume this was one of those "upselling" techniques. :) My car has 161000 miles.
Hi Taylor. Thanks for contacting us today. Without knowing the symptoms your car is displaying, it’s hard for us to give you an accurate suggestion here. I’ve always believed that if one sensor has failed or is faulty, others will shortly follow - which is why I recommend replacing all sensors related to an individual system (and the electrical harnesses connected to them) when an error code exists. I would caution you on purchasing sensors you find a "good deal" as often they are cheap aftermarket parts that tend to have compatibility problems. What I would also recommend is reading this article on the P-0340 OBD-II trouble code, as it will tell you common causes and repair suggestions.
I would suggest to only replace the one sensor first and clear the codes and road test to make sure the code does not return. Do not put on two sensors at the same time or if there is a problem then you would not know which sensor is having the problem.

Tl1000r- As I am sure you are aware the VQ has two camshaft Position sensors, one for each bank. Each sensor is secured to the head by a single bolt. When installing the new sensor the torque spec for the bolt is 85 inch-pounds (not ft-lbs). Why do you suspect the sensor is bad? -njjoe Joined

Discussion Starter · #5 · Oct 28, 2008 When I went to autozone and had them pull the codes the first one that came up was p0340 on bank 1. The other code was p051, which I believe is the O2 sensor. I suspect that once I take care of
the cam positioning sensor the O2 fault will resolve itself... So it sounds pretty easy to replace the CPS. Just take old one out and put new one in Can you tell me which is bank one of the motor. Warhammer if you would post some images from the service manual that would be great... On a side note, as I was researching the CPS, more than one person stated that they had the p0340 fault code come up after they changed the battery, same as me... Thanks for the help!!

Tl1000r- Unfortunately for you, bank 1 is the rear bank. Accessability may be a problem. Before you tackle the cam sensor you might want to try resetting the electronics by disconnecting the battery for a minute and seeing it that resolves the problem. It's worth a shot. -njjoe

Also be sure not to leave the battery disconnected for too long. Disconnecting the battery for too long will force you to have to perform some relearns. Here's a pic of where the cam postion sensors are:

offered to send pics of where these two suckers are. Code says one bad but thought I might as well replace both as I have 150000 miles on car. If you still have pics could you please send? Do you think I should replace oxygen sensors while I am at it? Thank you. Joined Feb 6, 2012 · 8 Posts
he did post a pic. look at post 7. click on the little pic to make it bigger. My wifes car got code P0345 today. a few weeks ago it was losing power and getting it back. Lunging, but due to a power loss, not gain. No SES light came on or anything. Well she drove the car for the first time today since then and the SES, VDC off, and SLIP light
all came on while driveing. when she got back in the car, only the SES light was on. Does this sound like a sensor or something else? Could the sensor be getting a signal saying the camshaft is off? bad timeing? Joined Feb 6, 2012 · 8 Posts Joined Jan 24, 2013 · 97 Posts
could be cps, but sounds more like a voltage issue. bad grounds, bad battery or bad alternator. Cam sensors are a cheap and easy fix though, so you might try that just to rule it out first.

This is the 1st generation forum so you should post your question there if you're asking about a 2009 Murano. Nevertheless, you've presumably removed the airbox and tubing up to the throttle body? Removing the throttle body might give you the little extra space you need.

Were you ever able to get any help with this? I have to replace mine and can't find anything on line. The bank 1 camshaft position sensor for the 2nd generation Murano is nestled underneath the intake plenum next to the #6 ignition coil (see pic below). The problem is all the stuff in the way. If you
remove the intake tubing and throttle body then maybe you can sneak it out? Can't say for sure. If not, you'll need to remove the intake plenum. BTW, you should post your question in the 2nd generation forum.
Where is camshaft position sensor a bank 1 located?A camshaft position sensor (CMP) is essentially a component in the format of a cylinder, which is often located on the outside of the front cover (at the front of the engine under the valve cover).

Where is the camshaft position sensor on a 2009 Nissan Maxima?Hello - the cam position sensors for this engine (2) are each located near the passenger side end of the cylinder head for each cylinder bank. The engine cover must be removed to access them, and the factory sensors have green plastic connectors, making them a bit easier to spot.
