Crankshaft position sensor replacement instructions please?

It sounds like this needs a crank sensor so if it were me, I would go ahead and replace this and retest.

Here are some guides that will help with this:

Let's run through this material and let us know if you have questions. Thanks

I need to replace the sensor on this car?

I am attaching the information on how to replace this and its location.

Also, here are some guides that will give more information:

I replaced the crank position sensor now the car was having start up issues and shaking. why would this happen?

If this was not doing this prior to replacing the crank sensor then I suspect you either have an issue with this sensor or the air gap is not correct. I attached the way these sensors work. As you can see there is a magnet in the end of the sensor and it picks up the high spots of the tone wheel and that changes the voltage that the sensor is sending to the ECM and this is how it knows the position. With a weak signal the ECM may not start the engine until it figures out the position. If you still have the original sensor, pull this sensor back out and compare them if you have not done that. Just make sure the depth of the sensors are exact.

If they are the same, I would exchange for another one from the store. They should return it with no issues.

Aftermarket sensors are not that great so if you get another one, you may want to get your money back and then buy a sensor from Nissan. They are probably a little more expensive but are better quality.

Let me know what happens and we can go from there. Thanks

my sister in law broke down on interstate 10. The local tech wants to charge her $600.00 to change the crank sensor.

Hi,

The crankshaft position sensor is located on the cylinder block rear housing facing the gear teeth (cogs) of the signal plate at the end of the crankshaft. It detects the fluctuation of the engine revolution. If you look at pic 1 below, it shows what the sensor looks like.

Here is a link that explains how in general one is replaced. Take a look through it and see if it helps.

On your vehicle, it really is nothing more than disconnecting the sensor connector, removing the retaining bolt, and gently removing it from the engine block. When you install the new one, place a small amount of motor oil on the o-ring to prevent damage when installing. Also, there are no relearn procedures required.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,
Joe

where is the camshaft & crankshaft sensor?

Hi ernest fuentes, Thank you for the donation. The Camshaft sensor is located at rear of cylinder head. Item # 16 is tha cam sensor.

The crankshaft sensor is located on right rear of cylinder block, facing the gear teeth ( cogs ) of the signal plate at end of crankshaft, below the starter motor. Item # 3 is the crank Sensor.

Hello ernest fuentes The camshaft sensor is located by the driver side, Below Throttle Body.

The crankshaft sensor is located is located driver side rear side of engine.

In the above photos you can see the location of the camshaft sensor on the driver's side of the engine and the crankshaft position sensor is down on the back side of the engine (best seen from under the car & removed from above). To replace either sensor you will need a 10mm metric bolt and a ratchet wrench. Don't forget the rubber o-ring. You're done!

My 2006 Altima 2.5L started jerking on the highway at around 65-70 MPH. I ignored it for a few weeks until the service engine soon light came on and became hard to start when the engine was hot. Took it to Advance Auto to have the codes checked out. The codes are P0335 (Crankshaft position sensor) and P0725 (Engine speed sensor). I replaced the crankshaft position sensor but now the car is hard to crank all the time and the codes are still there. I thought the replacement sensor may have been bad so I took it back and got another one and replaced it. Still the same issue. The sensor is the new style with the metal casing, though it is aftermarket. The car seems to run fine but it's hard to start and I can't get the codes to clear. I have searched the internet over to find an answer. It seems like a lot of people are having the same problem but I haven't seen an answer. Any thoughts?

Hello,

Some aftermarket sensors are made cheaply with an incorrect winding resistance which can make them act strange. I would buy a factory unit and try that. Also if you haven't replaced your spark plugs recently please do that, you would be surprised at what problems old plugs can cause.

Please let me know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

crankshaft sensor located?

Hi ernest fuentes,Welcome to 2carpros and TY for the donation. Camshaft position sensor

Crankshaft position sensor

SES light came on about 3 months ago. The code given was for the crank shaft positioning sensor. I did not notice any difference in the way it drove. I later drove trough some water (accidentally) and the light went off. It stayed off for 2 months and has just come back on. The dealer is telling me that this is not covered by the warranty. Is this a real problem or can it be ignored.

Good morning,

It should never be ignored. When there is a fault, the light comes on. If you ignore it, you will most likely end up on the side of the road broken down.

The sensor is at the back of the motor low on the block. I attached a couple of pictures for you of the location. It is held by a 10mm bolts and a connector.

Where is the crank shaft sensor located on a 2005 Nissan Altima?

where is the Crankshaft position senser located on a 2003 nissan Altima and is it hard to replace do I need any tools for it?

On the lower left rear of cylinder block -Yes you need tools to remove it its not an unplug and plug in deal-see below

thank you very much for your answer. But I just found out that Nissan has a recall for that senser. The location heats up the senser and the check engine light goes on. the recall was on 8/28/06.

I need to find our about where is crankshaft sender locked

It is on the back of the block, right above the oil pan, and right next to where the engine and trans meet. Hope the picute helps.

Unable to locate crank ignition sensor on a 1994 Nissan Altima.

i used your information to find this in "Pro-demand"

However, all four sub models have a 2.4l engine.

The picture below is what i found.

I need to replace the crankshaft position sensor on my car. I cannot find it to save my life. My Haynes manual shows it on the front of the transmission right below the distributor. Not there! Someone else told me to follow the wire coming out of the front of the distributor. That wire is bundled together with about four other wires. Can anybody just tell me exactly where to find this sensor?

The crankshaft position (CKP) sensor is located in the distributor. Below are some diagrams to help you see what I am talking about.


Thanks for using 2CarPros.com!

Cheers!

That is exactly where the manual told me to look. I just did not believe them. thanks for the help, the site is the best.

I am having a similar issue. The parts house sold me a crank sensor but your diagram shows it in the distributor, but I have seen a different diagram showing the cam sensor is in the distributor and that is what the parts house is telling me too. but I am like this guy I could not find it where it is supposed to be.

The location of the crankshaft angle sensor which is inside the distributor. Look at the post a couple above this one and click the images.

Is this where it is on a 2000 altima gle 4 cyl? I was told the camshaft sensor is in the distibutor but are the crank and cam sensor the same on this vehicle? Very confusing reading up on this.

Going by what I can find on the US 2.4L. It shows the crankshaft position sensor on the lower area of the block facing the radiator. The camshaft position sensor and the power transistor are in the distributor. That corresponds with the wiring diagram as well.

Finally some real help, thanks so much. I've been researching for days and couldn't get a straight answer anywhere. Much appreciated my friend.

No problem, if you need more information just ask, we are here to help.
