replacing camshaft sensor
johnblaze,
would you post detailed instructions on how you replaced bank 2? I saw the diagram that NissanTech posted but still am unsure. maybe you can help. I just got back from AutoZone (I went there bc the check engine light was on) and found that codes P0011 and P0021 were the problem. P0011 is the Bank 1 sensor (front), P0021 is the Bank 2 sensor (rear). Also, the AutoZone tech printed off a troubleshooting list, but I need help deciphering this -- Intake Valve Timing control circuit failure. Probable causes: 1. IVT control solenoid open or shorted 2. cam/crank sensors are out of phase 3. dirt buildup at control valve Should I just replace both camshaft sensors, bank 1 and 2? Or if someone knows what this troubleshooting list, and how to do it....thanks. |

Bolt size on camshaft sensor
What is the size of the bolt on the sensor? I'm having a heck of a time getting it off.

I had the exact same problem with my 2004 Maxima SE. Took it to the Nissan Dealer and they said they had position sensor failure on the transmission. These sensors are inserted into the transmission casing and can get coroded and give false signals so the car either won't start (most common) or does what yours did. They replaced the sensors for about $500 and now everything works fine. Wish somebody told me as I read all those posts about getting a new transmission for $5000. Good Luck - James

Camshaft positioning sensor vs tranny problems
I have read all of the previous posts in this thread & they seem to b the same think that is happening to my 2002 Maxima. I have already changed Bank 1 & am going to do Bank 2, but I wasn't in a rush because it seemed to b running good. Yesterday when I got onto the highway, all of a sudden it started to slow down & wouldn't shift into gear, it was also making a cranking sound along with overheating. The RPMs were running very high as well. I pulled over & waited for about 30 minutes & filled the radiator with antifreeze & water. When I started driving again, it was fine but then it started overheating within 3 miles. Most of the water was gone from the radiator but it didn't leak out, so I am confused as where it could have gone. The idle seems to b all out of whack as well. I noticed someone said something about sensors that plug into the tranny.... is this something that can b done urself or do u have to go to the dealer/mechanic? I have just fixed so many things trying to clear up codes that I really don't have the money to go to the dealer. If anyone knows anything that could b wrong, please respond! Thank you in advance

For everyone who said replace the cam shaft sensor, even though I thought you were crazy and couldn't figure out why the camshaft sensor would cause the transmission to act retarded, a big thank you. It fixed the problem and the car is running fabulously. It's perfect. I couldn't afford a transmission and you helped me tremendously.
