Nissan Murano Camshaft Position Sensor Replacement P0340 & P0345 

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.😎

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

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.

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!

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

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).

Your video was on point made my job very easy thank you so much

Thank you so much man! This is very informative and easy to understand video. I changed the sensor with your help. God bless you!

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.

Thank you. Very helpful and short straight to the point

thanks dude, you had the easiest to follow instructions for the sensor install.

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!

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

This helped me out today tremendously, Thanks

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

I want to thank you so much for making this video it really helped me a lot God Bless you

Good video, I would have said Great video, but when you told us which tools you left out the needle pliers 😂😂😂😂❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

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.

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

Good job. I really needed to know where the locations were for the other sensors?

You make me want to do the job myself lol awesome

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

Thanks it worked. Everytime I change my spark plug need to change that

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?

my 2010 Murano started making a knocking noise. fault code is P0340 and P0463. will those cause that noise?

did you get error code po340? nice job on the video :)

Awesomeness thanks feller

Thank you for the video, very helpful.

What to do if connector wont disconnect? This question is for Bank 1. Having trouble disconnecting it from sensor. Thanks!

Great great video ❤

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

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

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

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

Do you need that socket to take the bolt off

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

Title says camshaft but you're replacing crankshaft. Thanks alot

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

Good work, thanks for the video

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

Top tips thanks

Thanks! Quick easy job.

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

Thanks

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?

I just changed the engine oil, can I still replace these sensors without spilling the oil and making mess on the hood..

Are both the sensor replacements the same part?

Is Bank 2 the rear cam crank sensor

Buen video 😘

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 have a 2007. Do you think it’ll be about the same ?

my 2006 nissan murano engine stop after 45 min runn, to starting again at least need 10 or 20 min. in computer checking there is no any failer code. what can Ido to resolve the car problem?

Nice.remember lefty loosie 👍

Great vid!

Which sensor (front or back) for p0340?

Jus wat I need

My murano runs starts but if I turn it off it won’t start

Mine is P0340 bank 1 which is the same sensor isnt it >?

Do you know which is 340 and which is 345?

Tengo un problema con un nissan Altima 2002 3.5 v6 el carro estartea pero no pasa coriente para las bobinas alguien me podria ayudar con el problema.

Engine cranking , taking time to start the engine, engine fail while running, engine wont start after running some time, Gear not shifting, RPM raising. I changed both camshaft sensors and crankshaft sensors, but it wont fix the problem. Please help me fix thia in my nissan murano 2007

How much does a garage charge to replace both sensors

My cam shaft sensor doesn't have spark on the supply wire

They cannot do it at any auto parts store is a liability issue.

And a guy was going to charge me $1200 to do this i think not💀
