Crankshaft positioning sensor

It looks like it is on the top of the block, near the transmission. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

Hi

I dectected that my xtrail tends to shut off when driving I put the scope on the vehicle and it read that the crankshaft positioning sensor is defective so I went out and purchased the part.My question is where is the sensor located in the engine

Hi there,

The sensor is located at the right rear of the engine, see pic below. Here is a guide to help you see what you are in for when doing the job.

Thank you worked perfect!

Try to be as detailed as possible.my xtrail it only star if I remove a crank sensor, I bought and put new but problem still the same, it does not have power

If you have a crank angle sensor fault on these engines, often if it is not a faulty sensor they have a known fault with the crank shaft thrust bearing, what they can do is the thrust chops out and actually drops into the sump. If this happens the crank shaft has excessive end float that the crank shifts across in the block a few MM just enough to cause the crank shaft segment to not read on the sensor, if you can push the crank back and forward a few MM this will be the problem. This is more of a problem with manual transmissions as each time you push the clutch the force of the clutch being depressed applies pressure on the thrust and over time this problem can develop. I have seen some 20 or more do this over the years.
So check the crank shaft end float first, you should have no movement there that you can feel or see.
