Thank you so so much for this video. I’m a single woman who got a truck to pull a camper, and when this code popped up I searched and found this video and thought, I could do this. I successfully replaced it today, and this is the first car repair I’ve ever done besides a tire. It’s a great feeling plus saved me lots of money. Thank you again.
Awesome job! The internet may have many bad aspects, but the way it allows freedom of information and communication, for example - for a lady without a lot of prior experience to successfully fix her car by watching a helpful CZcams video and save time and money and get a lot of satisfaction doing the job herself - that's one of it's really great aspects!
Thank you so much. I fallowed your instruction and everything came out right. This is what a how to video should be done. Just the right amount of information, no music , no jokes , words of wisdom. thanks
@@ProfessionalPepper I don't think I have seen a better made DIY video than this. Clear, concise, and no beating around the bush. Outstanding work, thank you for doing such a wonderful job.
Very useful information - Thank You. The mirror image, during the cover removal, was freaking me out until I figured what was going on - I thought your threads were reversed
Funny you would mention that... As I was watching him, my thoughts (in that order) were... Hey, those bolts are reverse threaded? Really? Why?.... Then... I wonder if his sound and video are out of sync? (until I saw him loosening the bolts by hand and then realized nope, not out of sync)... and then... I wonder if he's shooting this in a mirror maybe?
That's a funky clip on the connector. Fought with it for 10 minutes then gave up and went on CZcams. Your video saved me a lot of time. Thanks so much for sharing your tips!
So what was the problem? just SLIP light, or other problems with ignition? my 2005 xterra has SLIP light and problems with ignition and car accelerates itself. thanks
Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics yeah thanks I did the same and fought they clip and then gave up before I broke it. Appreciate the help and the video. Big thumbs up
You are awesome. Do you realize how helpful this video is? Let me just give you a rundown of recent events. I just paid off an engagement ring, so I am by no means swimming in cash. My check engine light came lit up on the way home from proposing (2 1/2 hr drive chattanooga to Nashville). We all know that feeling in your gut when you see that light. I went to my local shop to have them pull the codes, and prepared for the worst. I found your video that gave me step by step instructions. I am by no means a mechanic. My experience extends to installing an aftermarket air intake and throttle body. You saved me a ton of money and stress!
Fantastic instructional, thank you! It's not enough to know the location of this puppy, your details on technique make all the difference in getting this job done simply and quickly. From the step stool to the pillow to rest on the engine block, and especially how to undo the electrical connector - perfect! My Frontier's engine is running like new again. Thanks!
Awesome vid man. I literally just changed the bank 2 sensor in 2010 Pathfinder in the parking lot of an AutoZone haha. The slip and vdc or w/e codes are gone now and the truck drives and starts normally. But I still have the CEL from it. I assume it's just a matter of clearing the code? Or is there another step after installation, or is it something else?
Brilliant. i didn't get mine checked for error code but after a breife discussion with my mechanic, the camshaft sensor was the only thing that could have been causing my pathfinder to cut out on hot days. watched the video and changed it myself and now, no problems at all. Great video and thank you, from Australia.
man u answered so many questions for me. I had the banks wrong and I would have never got that clip loose. I bought a used truck from a dealer and it threw the code 8 days after I bought it. the dealer offered to fix it for about $300. I watched your video, ordered my parts from ebay for $20 a pair instead of $80 at the parts store. fixed it myself and went back to my 120 mile ride to and from work each day. u da man. thanks from truckdoctor
Thank you so much for posting this video. I just replaced mine and it took about 10-15 minutes to find it and unscrew it. Just a regular socket and ratchet worked for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Thanks for the Video it helped me locate the sensors. After the benefit of watching I was able to replace both cam sensors (driver and passenger side) without removing the intake. I removed the plastic intake cover (that says 4.0 on it) and unclipped the large engine harness that runs parallel with the fire wall behind the intake. I covered the engine an grill with a thick layer of cardboard and climbed up on the engine. With a 1/4" drive breaker bar with a 10mm socket and was able to remove and replace both sensors in about an hour. Both are blind but you can get to them.
Thanks for the helpful vid....it was the best one I found. The part where you explain and show how to remove the clip was great! I am going to put a link to your video up on the Nissan Xterra forums. When are you going to post the vid for the passenger side?
Thanks for this, my neighbor was having a hard time and rounded off the bolt head. I told her that wasn't an issue as long as we secure a new bolt. But alas she wound up getting the wrong sensor so we have to wait for the right one. Not much room to work in! Thanks again for great content.
@@ProfessionalPepper fixed like a shade tree mechanic does, just need to clear the codes so the engine runs right. As a Creative Director and pusher or proper data, I still have to say, your content was spot on and to the point. I appreciate that and have subbed.
Super helpful video; thanks! For those having trouble getting a socket wrench back there: I was able to get it with a short socket wrench that didn’t flex (my flex head one was too big to get there).
Good how to for changing out the driver's cam sensor. It helped me find the sensor and I really liked the tip on how to disconnect the connector. However, on my 2011 Frontier removing the engine cover would be a waste of time. I propped up the hood using a temporary prop on the passenger side and came in from over the driver's fender.
watched your video & waited for part to come in. I tried to get my hand between the cover & the back engine compartment wall. Watch your video again, removed cover & could not find the sensor, until I felt behind the coils instead of the back center of the block fifteen minute later I am finished. Thanks!
Wow, your video helped me big time. I also found out the difference between a camshaft and crankshaft position sensor having inadvertently bought the other (worked out anyway). Bought my camshaft sensor off Amazon of all places ($25.00) and this tutorial really helped. THANK YOU!
Im throwing a code of P0390. The folks at my local Autozone treat me like Im a moron (Im female) and refused to sell me the part, because the read out says LEFT sensor and not Bank 1 or 2. I am correct in thinking this is the drivers side? They had me change the crankshaft sensor and told me it would work, that was 2 days ago and my truck just died, again. Thanks for the video! Any help is appreciated.
Thanks for the video. Just got done putting in the sensor. That cost me eighty-five bucks. I've got to get one of those code reader things because it runs fine now but it still has the check engine light. Will have to go in to work and have to reset the code. Thank you very much.
+Prep Know Do (PrepKnowDo556) Wasn't near as bad as yours, but the code was exactly the same. i drove it around the block and it seemed fine. We'll see tomorrow after i put some moles on it.
This is a great video. So much better than anything else I've found for the camshaft sensor. I only wish you would do one for the P0340 Passenger side sensor which I've heard is much more difficult to get to.
I just did this for the drivers side on my Xterra and it took 10 minutes. The passenger side is much harder to get to. I did it a couple years ago and video'd it but never posted it. I'll see if I can figure out some editing and get it posted
+speedsterwinston theres another video on here for that side I found it on u tube. Rather see this guys video. I have to do both of them n the purge valve solenoidGood luck
Great video! If in future videos you could use regular video mode instead of selfie mode we would not have the reversed or mirror image thing going on. I was confused for a bit until I realized it was reversed. Thanks again!
brother thanks for sharing I'm wrist deep in my 2012 frontier trying to find the sensor but can only see it from underneath lol, thanks for the video this helps alot though!!!
Did the aftermarket sensor hold up or should i go with the oem or hitachi (actual oem part) i found that the infor for all these is kinda convoluted and I am unsure which sensor will actually be best. Some list all different part numbers that other places say don't fit, so idk.
The aftermarket part has held up just fine. It is an easy fix so it's not such an invested risk if the non-OEM part doesn't work. However, if your not pinching pennies and your time is more important get the OEM. It is a pretty common and simple part that stays in a fixed position. If you were to choose an aftermarket part for this fix I think you would be in good company.
I did this about 6 months ago. I did the whole thing...and it said the sensor was still bad and the engine wouldn't start. It turns out the sensor is very sensitive about how tight the bolt is, so you'd probably want to torque it to the specs so you don't have to do it twice.
hello i am having a issue with my 2008 Nissan pathfinder it as 167k miles gets 17 to 19 MPG V6 ok so on to the issue i am having i have and hour drive to work i drive part of it on the interstate and the rest on a highway when driving the car has a odd vibration and shuts off then if i wait about 10 minutes car starts and runs
disconnect both terminals from the battery, touch and hold the terminal cables together for 30 seconds to drain all computer power and memory. Reconnect them to your battery and try to restart.
Assuming this is my part too. My part shop said camshaft position sensor a (bank 2). They sell a Left and a Right one. So, I guess it’s the Right one since bank 2 means driver side. And also it’s the crooked part and not straight one. Right?
Bank 1 = Passenger side =Straight profile Bank 2 =Drivers side = Kinked Profile I have links in the video description for the products on amazon. I also have a video of me changing the part out for bank 1.
if you do some research on clubfrontier.org you should be able to make sure you select the right part. Its either bank 1 or 2. I would assume bank A means bank 1.
Also i just change the both cams bank 1 and 2 drove the vehicle for two weeks and it's showing bank 1 bad again, parts ordered from Amazon, 3 sensors for 30$ could this be the problem??.
That could be the problem, OEM is always best. However, there is a possibility there could be an issue with corrosion on the connector, degraded wiring, or when you reattached the sensor, the bolt is too loose or too tight. If you have a tight budget, I would recommend buying another cheap sensor for bank 1. Attach it. If it works, good, box up the bad sensor and return it. If it doesn't work send it back and investigate other potential issues mentioned above. Good luck!
How do you find the actual sensor? I tried to look in the hood but didn't see anything. Can you see it from underneath? Or do you just have to feel for it?
Great Video lots of Light and no nonsense right to it thanks. So much garbage on YT. Only a few suggestion's. I personally would disconnect the battery first, why I don't know maybe because this is part of the electrical system perhaps. I did replace both sensors about a year ago and I am now getting the P0345 code again for bank 2, the vehicle simply cut off while driving at a low speed then started back up, but not after a long crank first. Service Engine light came on and VDC light but kept driving after restart. I used an Amazon part, this time I may elect to pay a bit more and get the part from Nissan. I don't want to do this again. I replaced both since it makes sense to do Bank 1 on the left as well and is much easier. I recall its not as easy as it appeard in the video mostly all this is by feel since its a tight space, but definately dooable with some patience. Thanks for the video.
First, check to make sure the cable quick connections are fully pushed into place. Next, do a computer restart on your car. Disconnect the + terminal battery cable and hold it on the negative battery terminal. Let the vehicle sit for 12 min. Connect the battery back up. Try to start her. If that doesn't fix it then there is an issue with one of the sensors, as the engine computer has an engine protection feature that won't let it run without a working sensor. You will need to buy one.
Yeah I would be pretty pissed if I were you. Maybe they can refund you and sell you a new one at a reduced price. Good luck. Sorry you had to waste your time. Good practice! haha!
You are my friend and we take care of eachother. The whole world is a community and we need to do everything we can to help eachother. Love to your familia!
Hey there good video but i have a question, i was told you need to replace both camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft position sensor at the same time, because if you change the two cams it will burn out the crankshaft sensor, is this true, and is it necessary, or should i change the two camshaft position sensor only thanks.
You don't have to, but can and probably should. Here is a link to my other channel where I replace the crankshaft position sensor. czcams.com/video/cGCwih44kpQ/video.html

Thank you so much for this video. You made it so easy for me to replace my sensor by myself... Let me ask you though. when i first got the service engine soon light my engine turned off while i was driving my truck, Do you think this is what caused it????? and thank you a punch. amazing video....
you are awesome, i will tell you what caused mine to go bad. last week i was checking my oil, and i left the oil cap off, and i turned the engine on, but it wasn't even one minute till i realized my cap was not on, i turned the engine off so fast but it was to late i guess. about an hour later while i was driving it went off on me and the service engine soon light came up. thank you again
You may just be able to clean it. Just spray it off with some cleaner, let it dry, and reinstall it. If you are still encountering problems, then you will need to buy a new sensor. Sometimes the sensors corrode on the inside, or the magnet on the inside looses its precise magnetic field requirement .
Thanks for you video, very good. Could I ask you what made the sensor get damage? And more important, the new sensor is working still? Thanks For your Help.
Sometimes the sensors corrode on the inside, or the magnet on the inside looses its precise magnetic field requirement. It can also be damaged by heat. Engines are nasty places.
There is no thinking or assuming. Look at the Cylinder Numbering order of any motor Not the Cylinder Firing Order Number 1 Cylinder always determines the Number 1 Bank, on a 6,8 or 12 V shape motor Inline Motors,the Front Cyl is #1 With Google,Wikipedia & You Tube Videos -- you seldom have to ask any questions,just do the research

If it was P0345 it is bank 2 drivers side
If it's for P0340 then it's the passenger side Bank 1
Code getting read on my 2005 frontier says "camshaft position sensor A" is this the same thing?
Wow i haven't seen that code, what were the symptoms?
@@ProfessionalPepper all the same symptoms that I've seen for this particular issue (stalling randomly, trouble starting, etc.)
@@ProfessionalPepper P0340, says bank 1, so must be the same. Will likely be consulting this video, thanks for posting!
if you do some research on clubfrontier.org you should be able to make sure you select the right part. Its either bank 1 or 2. I would assume bank A means bank 1.
@@philipvenema2979 best of luck to you. its an easy task if you know what to look for. Let me know how it turns out.
This video was the best well explained
Also i just change the both cams bank 1 and 2 drove the vehicle for two weeks and it's showing bank 1 bad again, parts ordered from Amazon, 3 sensors for 30$ could this be the problem??.
That could be the problem, OEM is always best. However, there is a possibility there could be an issue with corrosion on the connector, degraded wiring, or when you reattached the sensor, the bolt is too loose or too tight. If you have a tight budget, I would recommend buying another cheap sensor for bank 1. Attach it. If it works, good, box up the bad sensor and return it. If it doesn't work send it back and investigate other potential issues mentioned above. Good luck!

Ok appreciate your response thank you.
Thank you for all this great, helpful and very clear information on your video!
your welcome!
How do you find the actual sensor? I tried to look in the hood but didn't see anything. Can you see it from underneath? Or do you just have to feel for it?
Peter Filbin the video shows y ou exactly how to find and replace it. I'm not sure I understand your question
You're right, sorry. I watched the whole video then forgot about the part where you showed us the sensor location. lol. Thanks for the vid!
Thank you! I'm going to do this myself today.
Thank you for the vid. Be doing mine tomorrow
Thanks changing both of them tomorrow
You got this!
Gracias eres muy profesional, me funciono...😍😍😍👍👍👍👍
Does a Nissan Armada 2005 have 2 of these? I bought one but my car won’t start?
A V6 will have 2. An inline 4 should only have 1, but you'll have to do some reasearch.
Great video! Loved the shot from the rear of the engine.
It was a major pain in the butthole to get that angle 🤣
What are the symptoms of a bad position sensor?
Great Video lots of Light and no nonsense right to it thanks. So much garbage on YT. Only a few suggestion's. I personally would disconnect the battery first, why I don't know maybe because this is part of the electrical system perhaps. I did replace both sensors about a year ago and I am now getting the P0345 code again for bank 2, the vehicle simply cut off while driving at a low speed then started back up, but not after a long crank first. Service Engine light came on and VDC light but kept driving after restart. I used an Amazon part, this time I may elect to pay a bit more and get the part from Nissan. I don't want to do this again. I replaced both since it makes sense to do Bank 1 on the left as well and is much easier. I recall its not as easy as it appeard in the video mostly all this is by feel since its a tight space, but definately dooable with some patience. Thanks for the video.
Good luck. Remove the battery wont hurt. I got my part at autozone, and haven't had any issues.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge
How bizarre, your camera is reversed. What looks light tightening is actually loosening.
i only noticed this after someone commented earlier. Crazy. my apologies as its a mind-F. totally unintentional, the production software did it
I changed my sensor my cars won’t start. Did I get a defective sensor? Or does the computer need to recognize it?
First, check to make sure the cable quick connections are fully pushed into place. Next, do a computer restart on your car. Disconnect the + terminal battery cable and hold it on the negative battery terminal. Let the vehicle sit for 12 min. Connect the battery back up. Try to start her.
If that doesn't fix it then there is an issue with one of the sensors, as the engine computer has an engine protection feature that won't let it run without a working sensor. You will need to buy one.
The Professional Prepper I put my old sensor back on it started right up. I think they sold me a bad sensor. Thanks for replying.
Yeah I would be pretty pissed if I were you. Maybe they can refund you and sell you a new one at a reduced price. Good luck. Sorry you had to waste your time. Good practice! haha!
Thanks again
Thanks. For. Your time help me a lot god bless you appreciate 🙏🏽🙏🏽
You are my friend and we take care of eachother. The whole world is a community and we need to do everything we can to help eachother. Love to your familia!
Thanks very much ...it save me the money I didn’t have
Awesome! A penny saved is a penny earned.
is bank 2 considered left or right (to buy sensor)?
Bank 2 is the left side (driver's side). I have a link to the part in the video description.
Is there a difference between bank 1 or 2? My code came back A circuit bank 2.
Bank 2 is the driver's side
@@ProfessionalPepper thanks great video.
Is it necessary to live the sensor ?
Thank you, worked great, do you have one for the passenger side? Your video made it look way less complicated
God bless you for this.
Good luck! Save some cash and get back on the road!
thanks dude. this was very helpful
Tyler Hunt your welcome
Hey there good video but i have a question, i was told you need to replace both camshaft position sensors and the crankshaft position sensor at the same time, because if you change the two cams it will burn out the crankshaft sensor, is this true, and is it necessary, or should i change the two camshaft position sensor only thanks.
I only changed out one at a time and it was fine, but the other one failed 1.5 years after the first one broke.
Ok what about the crankshaft sensor does that needs to be changed to or that something totally different??
You don't have to, but can and probably should. Here is a link to my other channel where I replace the crankshaft position sensor.

Thank you so much. Crack open a cold one buddy you earned it!
@@ProfessionalPepperYou got it bro !! It's a tricklin down my throte as I punch these keys that put letters on the screen !!
Thank you so much for this video. You made it so easy for me to replace my sensor by myself... Let me ask you though. when i first got the service engine soon light my engine turned off while i was driving my truck, Do you think this is what caused it????? and thank you a punch. amazing video....
That was exactly what happened to me. It was a semi violent clunk to when it shut off.
you are awesome, i will tell you what caused mine to go bad. last week i was checking my oil, and i left the oil cap off, and i turned the engine on, but it wasn't even one minute till i realized my cap was not on, i turned the engine off so fast but it was to late i guess. about an hour later while i was driving it went off on me and the service engine soon light came up. thank you again
Thank you! That bolt is a pain! 💖
Indeed it is. Quite the PITA!
Thank you for this video ..am asking if i cant get new sensor ..so is it posible to clean it ?
You may just be able to clean it. Just spray it off with some cleaner, let it dry, and reinstall it. If you are still encountering problems, then you will need to buy a new sensor. Sometimes the sensors corrode on the inside, or the magnet on the inside looses its precise magnetic field requirement .
Thanks for you video, very good. Could I ask you what made the sensor get damage? And more important, the new sensor is working still? Thanks For your Help.
Sometimes the sensors corrode on the inside, or the magnet on the inside looses its precise magnetic field requirement. It can also be damaged by heat. Engines are nasty places.
So did this actually fix your problem or make it worse by trashing driverside catalytic converter.
It fixed the problem 100%. I have not had any issues with the catalytic converter.
how do i know which one is bad
Hiram Vazquez read the code
do you recommend changing out both sensors at the same time?
eagpaoa it's really up to you, I changed one at a time. 1 year between failures of bank 1 and 2
Which sensor is circuit 1 and which one is circuit 2
Bank 1 and Bank 2 are listed in the video description and in the comments section from me.
Bank 2 = Drivers side and Bank 1 is the passenger side
My car has code P0345 and it says Sensor A bank 2. Which one is sensor A?
The P0345 is just the Bank 2 sensor. Link to Driver's Side Sensor (Bank2): amzn.to/25cqMXB
The P0345 code is for Bank 2. Link to Driver's Side Sensor (Bank2): amzn.to/25cqMXB
Did you disconnect the battery first.
no I did not
Isn’t there suppose to be two? Where’s the other?
czcams.com/video/xkiim17Ioqk/video.html
Unfortunately im tackling this today.......p0340 code and cuts off and feels sluggish, i guess its time damn it lol😊
You can do it!
@@ProfessionalPepper I couldn't without you guys and CZcams though lmao
So one thing here.....I always thought Bank 2 was passenger side. You said Bank 2 was Drivers sidel.
Anne Davie Bank 2 = Driver's Side
There is no thinking or assuming. Look at the Cylinder Numbering order of any motor
Not the Cylinder Firing Order
Number 1 Cylinder always determines the Number 1 Bank, on a 6,8 or 12 V shape motor
Inline Motors,the Front Cyl is #1
With Google,Wikipedia & You Tube Videos -- you seldom have to ask any questions,just do the research
Where is camshaft sensor bank 1 located
