What kind of camshaft sensor does Nissan Altima use?
If you don’t have a junkyard in your area, I recommend buying the OEM Nissan 23731-6N21A camshaft sensor and also the Nissan 23731-6N21A crankshaft sensor. For the best electrical connection, I recommend using crimp connectors.
Why does my Nissan Altima have an oil leak?
On a holiday weekend we discovered that the 2.5L inline 4 cylinder engine in the L31 generation 2002 Nissan Altima was leaking oil. Upon inspection of the motor, my brother pinpointed the source of the oil leak to be the crankshaft position sensor.
What kind of engine does a Nissan Altima have?
Owners of other 3rd generation 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 & 2006 Altima sedans should find these DIY instructions to be helpful.
What happens when the camshaft position sensor fails?
Once your car’s computer detects a CMP sensor failure, it will trigger the engine light and store a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) in its memory (see the table below for common camshaft position sensor trouble diagnostic codes). As you may expect, the specific location of the camshaft position sensor varies by a vehicle’s make and model.
What should the voltage be on a camshaft sensor?
After these checks, use a digital multimeter that can test either alternate current (AC) voltage or direct current (DC) voltage, depending on your particular type of camshaft position sensor. You’ll also need the correct electrical values for your particular type of sensor. You may find this information in your vehicle repair manual.
Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause a knocking sound?
Question: Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause a knocking sound? Answer: No, a faulty camshaft sensor can’t cause a knocking sound unless it affects ignition timing. Question: Can a faulty camshaft sensor cause a P0300 code? Answer: A number of faulty components may trigger a P0300 code, including: a bad camshaft position sensor

What are the symptoms of a bad camshaft position sensor?
The engine may stall intermittently. You may notice poor engine performance including irregular acceleration, misfiring, hard starting, or surging. On some car models, a failed CMP sensor will prevent the ignition from making a spark, so that the engine won’t start at all.
What causes the camshaft sensor to produce a false signal?
Problems with the tensioner or support rail usually translate into a rattle and/or clicking sound coming from the timing chain. It’s possible that it can cause the camshaft sensor to produce a false signal since the crankshaft and camshaft won’t be synchronized. This seems to be a problem in some Mini Cooper models.
