I have a Nissan just like this one so when the engine locks up that means that the sensor is bad right?
Just a note for people! It was very easy for him in this video because the crankshaft sensor was previously changed, which is why the connector was reversed giving room for the 10mm socket to fit on the bolt.
If it was never changed, the connector will be on the opposite side, the bolt will be right agisnt the wall of the connector. Your socket wont be able to get on the bolt. Get a flashlight and and look down through the top of the engine, you will see the crankshaft sensor. You will need to pull the connector off first and it will be hard. Dont give up but be patient, it will come off. Just dont pull the wires. After its off, you will have room for the socket to fit on the bolt and get it off. And after that it will be as easy as in this video when it goes bad again because the connector will be reversed like in this video.
How to replace the crank sensor on an 06 grand prix gxp 5.3L V8?
I was getting a check engine light flashing and sometimes staying on. 3 cylinder misfire 1cylinder misfire rough idle. Read somewhere probably crank shaft sensor. So far so good. Runs good. Been 4 days with new sensor. Read somewhere the metal ones are the improved parts.
You made it look easy. I just replaced one on my 2006 altima 2.5 4 I removed the starter and still couldn't see it. My luck putting them side by side to compare them is I would put the old one back in.I had to replace the engine. Instead of overhauling the engine I ordered a Japanese imported engine from N J. It seems to be near new condition. I think it would have been wise to have installed a new sensor when I had the engine out. Started changing the Valve seals. They are a birch. The little valve keepers are hard to deal with. Found out the guides were worn. The timing chain was holding the crank shaft up. Beutiful SL with 225 k. on it. Ran good and used a lot of oil.knew I had screwed up when I started it the next morning. Its a cash car as is.It turned out to be expensive at a little over 4 k but the wife loves it.
would this be the same on an 02 sentra spec v? it has the same 2.5L engine.
Thanks for the helpful video! I have some notes to add from my experience replacing my sensor today:
1. If you look straight-down the engine through the little holes between the throttle body and valve cover, you can actually see the sensor. This makes its its replacement 100x easier! Put a flashlight near the firewall angled towards the sensor and you can see it pretty clearly.
2. It looks like my car had the original sensor (black and rectangular, vice silver and cylindrical). The original one has the electrical connector 180-deg opposite…with the lock toward the bolt not toward the transmission bell. This made getting the socket around the bolt impossible. The connector had to come off first. I pushed the locking mechanism in with my finger, then used a pair of standard pliers by using one of the jaws to push the lock the last little bit for it to disengage and the other jaw to clamp down (gently) on the side to put it off.
I followed the video on all other parts and it worked out like a champ!
Love these videos, they have always helped me.
is this video applicable to an '04 maxima?
Actually the sensor you replaced was replaced before. Original is plastic and different shape. Also if you compare this aftermarket sensor with original NEW sensor from Nissan, the aftermarket one is a little bit longer and it gets hit by the crank shaft, which that's why it gets bad. I think at this point it is worth 50$ more for original one so you don't have to come back and replace it again. Just my 2 cents.
how to change in nissan altima 2009
P0011 code 2006 nissan altima 2.5L could it be the timing valve control solenoid
My scanner said that I had to replace my camshaft position sensor that is located by the transmission and also changed the one by the engine, but the car still does not turn on on the first try. Battery tested, starter tested, and they do work. I ran the scanner again and I keep getting the same code, what could be causing the problem? Does it have to be activated or what?
Tengo un Altima dos mil dos pero no arranca que puedo a ser ya le cambie el sensor y nada
I believe the sensor in this example was previously replaced (you point out the tape on the bolt). I believe the original sensor design had a black head with flat sides, instead of the silver cylinder design of the new one.
on these how do u know when you have to replace them ? or its prolly a code right ?
