In this video I show the steps and procedures necessary to replace the camshaft position sensors on a Nissan Murano. The same procedures can be taken to replace the sensors on the Infiniti FX35, Or any vehicle equipped with a view VQ35De engine. The vehicle is working on had a fault code is P0345. I Experienced intermittent stalls. Long cranking. And no start conditions. His fault codes in symptoms are very common issue with these engines. And most of Nissans engines during this time. I hope this video is help you out if it has please like and subscribe. If you have any questions or comments feel free to do so. Thanks for watching.

This is a great video! Short and sweet and to the point. On my 2007 Murano, I used a 10mm ratching wrench and did not have to move the hose. On a whim, I blew out the connector and the sensor in place and all codes went away. So I never even had to pull the sensor! I was showing P0345(Camshaft Position Sensor Bank 2), P0725(Engine speed input circuit), P1701(Power supply circuit), P0868 (Transmission fluid low). The last 3 are Nissan OEM codes. Thanks for saving me time and money! I will update if any of them come back.😎

[@fjanwela334]

Perfect! Very short, but informative and straight to the point. Well done man!

[@0x00zero]

Nice. The connectors always suck. Thanks for taking extra time to show exactly how it releases. The nissan is weird and I was surprised at the direction you push the tab.

[@THESANCHEZBROWN]

Very easy video to follow. Thank you for making my job easier!

[@CommonSenseTipsAndTricks]

Good video! Thanks a bunch! Very helpful! I did not even have to remove my engine cover. Once I pulled the hose, it was just right for me. It's been said the cheaper sensors don't last. But I just went and got a used one because it happened that the clip for the wires did not lock as it should. My CE light is off now. Time will tell! UPDATE! Got through emissions and my repair was about 4 days ago! It's all good now! Folks make sure your wire clip locks after you hear the click! At first, mine did not!

Thank you SO much my friend, it was a great video and I did it.

[@otterpopexpress6884]

Great video! I did both sensors. A few tips about what parts to get and tooling. I have an 2006 Altima SER and the motor is mounted transverse like the Murano. You’ll see parts listed by different positions. Left or Right. A or B. Bank #1 or Bank #2. For VQ35's mounted transverse (front-wheel drive): Rear - Near the firewall. That’s Right/Bank 1/A. Front - Closest to the radiator. That’s Left/Bank 2/B Where does this come from? Imagine sitting in the driver’s seat of a 350Z where the motor is mounted longitudinal for rear-wheel drive. The driver’s side of the motor is the left and the passenger side the right. And with ‘right’ usually favoring left it gets numbered bank #1 or A. Leaving the left to bank #2 or B. Then when you rotate the motor for front-wheel drive, the left side moves to the front. My code reader reported ‘P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit’ indicating I needed to replace the rear sensor. Code P0345 would be the sensor in the front. I recommend the Hitachi sensors. These are OEM and can be had from RockAuto, Amazon, and others. The best price I found was at RockAuto. Hitachi CPS0008 - Rear/Right/Bank 1/A Hitachi CPS0005 - Front/Left/Bank 2/B Replacing the front sensor was relatively easy. The rear (at least for me) was difficult getting the connector to come loose. It’s hard to reach by hand. And after depressing the connector with my finger, it didn’t seem to want to release. I turned to a pair of 11-inch long nose pliers with a 45 deg bend. Firmly pressed the release tab in and then maneuvered the connector off from the top using the same pliers. Once you press the tab fully in, it will remain open - lest you bump it and it locks again. Good luck!

Good work, thanks for the video

[@cowsongs]

OutSTANDING! Very clear, very easy to follow. These jobs are really so easy with some photos or video to just show where the darn parts are and how they come out. But one important note: Getting that 10mm bolt out is difficult. There is a heavy steel pipe near the head which made it impossible to get a socket on it cleanly, even with a U-joint fitting. You really need a 10mm box wrench to slip in there (I would advise against a simple open-end here because you really want to get that bolt out with no chance of rounding off the edges).

Having the same problem with my 05. Hope this works🤞. Wish me luck. Thanks for the awesome video👏!

[@JERMZ707]

Great video. My problem is with my fiance 07 murano. About same time last year her car shut off while dropping off the kids to school. We got it diagnosed and it was the camshaft sensors we swapped out both and until today no problems. Today same problem occurred but the reading is saying p0345 camshaft sensor bank 2. Yet again we swapped out both bank 1 and 2 the first time.

[@raiya1114]

Make sure to use the OEM part from Nissan. Hitachi just updated their new sensor.

[@picklerix6162]

Use the Hitachi sensors. A lot of people have seen the aftermarket sensors fail in less than a year. Even the Autozone sensors with the lifetime warranty are failing prematurely.

[@shoganaii6661]

Thanks for your video! Any idea if bank 1 and 2 are same part number?

[@jeffturner1658]

Good video just wish I could hear the difference in the cranking up part. Mine has a hard start up just like this one.

[@BiGBen4329]

My green lock is worn on my cam shaft sensor wire. Is it hard to change out the connector?

[@picklerix6162]

If you notice on this car in the video, the other (bank one) camshaft sensor is covered in oil. For some reason, the bank one sensor usually fails first on most Nissan VQ engines. It looks like oil is leaking from both camshaft sensors on my wife's Murano so I will probably buy some new sensors from Rockauto and install them very soon. BTW, the bank one camshaft sensor failed on my 350z but it was not leaking oil. The sensors are much cheaper if you buy them online. The owners on the Nissan online forums recommend the Hitachi sensors (cost: $44/ea plus tax and shipping). I may try the Standard Motor Products sensors since those seem to be very popular and are much cheaper.

[@TheKaymula]

It’s Supposed to be oil on it

[@CovertOperation13]

@@TheKaymula Not on the outside of it. The oil ring or gasket is leaking.

[@OrlandaWells]

I wonder if it’s in the same place for my 2017 Murano?

I did this to bank 2 but when I did this on bank 1 and clean crankshaft sensor now the car doesn't turn onn the car tries to start for a second but then it turns off it sounds like it is not getting enough air but I don't know what the problem is

I’m getting P0011 error codes on my 2011 Murano, and it says cam shaft sensor. These are different codes, but could it be the same issue? Fresh oil changes don’t resolve the code

Hi bro. Hope you will be fine. Brother I have a problem about long starting. I have changed All sensor but My car have some same problem. I don't know what is the problem. Can you guide me

[@thalathoty]

Is it same Part for Bank 1 and bank 2 or separate?

[@dennisvelasquez6877]

Do you need that socket to take the bolt off

[@romcallis]

My murano stalled while driving. When I started it back up it idled very roughly and would not accelerate more than 2 mph. Code light is on says it is the CPS but a mechanic thinks the engine is shot. Agree?

[@rickhaslobrown1291]

After you replace the sensors will the check engine light go off or do you have to get it removed

[@Hunterman45x]

You have to clear the the codes to get rid of the check engine light.

[@jonathanhawker-kk7oy]

Yeah I'm having trouble with mine cranking up it was spent over but just won't crank up

[@avery214j]

Great video but im not sure the info u gave about the codes clearing itself it true.. otherwise excellent video

[@agustinaguilar4456]

what do you think is the problem when the motor stalls and then shuts off, the battery light and service appears soon. this happens to a murano 2005 after they changed the alternator began that problem. Any idea to solve the problem?

[@AaronHinesAuto]

You need to scan for codes since the service engine light is on. It sounds like a cam position sensor or a crank position sensor to me with those symptoms

[@agustinaguilar4456]

@@AaronHinesAuto thanks for reply. Your video is very clear and helpful. So after replace sensor is important to delete those codes??

[@AaronHinesAuto]

Yes it will be helpful to clear codes once the sensor is replaced! Thanks!

[@davidramirez4615]

How much does a garage charge to replace both sensors

[@AaronHinesAuto]

depends if the shop is using oem parts or aftermarket. i would say around 300-400.

[@epifel3607]

$138 for 1 without the part

[@justosteveo5167]

Too damn much when replacing these is that simple

[@picklerix6162]

Changing these sensors are easy on the Murano so I would never pay a mechanic to replace these. The hardest part is learning how to release the connector correctly. These sensors are really hard to reach on the 350z because they located on the back of the engine, next to the firewall, and there's not much room back there.
