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!
+patrickssmyth Thanks for sharing the helpful tips! We're glad that this video aided you and that your tips can help aid other DIY'ers on their repairs!
I'm running into this same problem of not being able to get the socket around the bolt, but I should be able to if I disconnect it first like you've mentioned. Thank you.
Hey if you don’t mind me asking and if you’re still there , you think you can tell me , did that fix the problem? Cause my car has a starting up issue, takes a while to turn on also cuts off. Will that crankshaft position sensor really be it to solve it all?
Yeah I have to agree with you taking the beauty cover off the engine makes this fix way easier. Depending on your angle you can see it on either side of the intake runner closest to the trans. Also I'm pretty sure the starter is right down there so if you have a magnetic flashlight you can stick it on that and get some good light down there. Everything else is pretty much aluminum so you don't have a lot of other options if you're trying to find a spot to get your magnetic flashlight to stick. Also a great tip from others is to stick a piece of paper towel on bolt when reinstalling. It's way less prone to falling out of your socket and extension and way easier than trying to just use your fingers to get back in.
I just completed this repair on a 2005 Altima, also with the original sensor. EVERYTHING I touched was very difficult to move because of age, and contamination with dirt. It took me about 2 hours.
For the original sensor, Need to remove the connector before removing the bolt securing the sensor.
It was very difficult for me to get the sensor out. I had to use pliers.
It was very difficult to get the new sensor in, it kept popping out. I ended up putting it in with the bolt tab aligned slightly up, then twisting with my thumb while pushing. This got it in place at a bit of an angle, but then tightening the bolt brought it back flush.
For the New sensor, I could not get the connector on once it was in the block. I tried with all my strength. This meant having to remove the sensor from the block, and since it was so difficult to insert in the first place, i was quite upset. But it came out fairly easily, then I installed the connector and pushed the sensor in the same way I outlined above. Tightening the bolt did bring it back flush, so I guess it is in there ok.
This was one of the more difficult jobs I have done, and I am mechanically competent. The lack of access and clear sight along with the new rubber seals being hard to install made this very challenging. Good luck to all who try it and may it turn out for you like it did in the video.
A few points I learned. If it is the original part, you will not be able to get a socket wrench around the bolt. The electrical plug is to close to the nut. Newer parts have corrected this problem. You need to unplug the electrical first. As for being able to see it. With a light down below, if you hover over the engine, there is a clear top view of the plug and screw so you will be able to line up the socket wrench or unplug the electric. I spent hours trying to remove this part. Once I saw from top view, everything went fast.
Hey bruce im having the same problem with electrical wire any tips to remove it more easily? Im having a hard. Time getting it to release. Thank you
I found going from underneath is way easier as long as you can get your arm around the right side cv axle. Didn’t need to take anything off to get to it. Only needed a 1/4 inch ratchet with a short 10mm. Video was still very helpful tho! Showed me where to find the sensor 😎 love your videos!
if anyone is still repairing this, i set up my phone camera where he set up his go pro and i looked through my phone screen to see the part it helped a lot and made it easier for me to change it out
Never would have found it without this video, thank you so much!
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.

to me it just seems easier by lifting car car around 15-20 inches and throwing a jack stand under and getting from bottom... especially removing the clip without breaking it... from under side view with your camera there shows to be nothing blocking view of the sensor...I am broke down in parking lot and will try this today...thanks for sharing
Video was helpful thanks! My only comment would be that in my case the electrical connector was put on the other way so that it was blocking the bolt. Once I realized that that was the case it was smooth sailing from there.
Thank you for the video. IT helped me a lot. I have replaced this center twice.. Make sure you get a good quality senor, not autozone.. lol.
Great tip on removing the clips. They are a trap for many.
Thank you I just changed my crank and cam... much love from Brooklyn
+M Samuel Thank you! We are happy we could help.
Camshaft position sensor and Cranckshaft position sensor look identical for '06 Altima. I ordered the crankshaft sensor when I needed the camshaft sensor. Thankfully I caught my error before installing it. I don't why Nissan made these two sensors identical.
Will this help my Nissan start . Since I’ve already changed the starter, battery is good.
Same here I would like to know this also
You have to diagnose your car !! Can’t just keep guessing if you know someone who has a scanner for codes I would suggest you do that ! Before changing parts on your car or else you’ll keep fixing things that don’t need to be fixed
Thank you for this video. I'm also replacing the camshaft position sensor on this 06 Altima/
Great video and saves every 50k mine goes out. If you remove the engine cover you can actually see the bolt and connector- without the video though I wouldn't have found where the part was- Thanks 1A Auto
Is there a difference between crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor??
exact same part
Why would they put the wrong part up when you're looking for a 2005 Nissan Altima 5.2 engine crank sensor I believe the frontier does not fit I could be wrong? Question 1A Auto does this also fit the Nissan Altima 2.5 also. Because on your description underneath the video your part shows for a different vehicle that's why I'm asking this question cuz somebody help please thank you😊
Clear and thorough, great video!!!
+monkeymanxxl Thanks for the feedback!
this part looks exactly like the camshaft senor that is located right below valve cover on drivers side...is it the same part number???
Yes, exact same part
The crankshaft position sensor on a Nissan pathfinder 2004 is directly under the center of the motor next to the oil pan very easy to get to
+Bruce Buell Thanks for the feedback!
Well I don’t think anyone cares because we are asking about a freaking altima
Love these videos, they have always helped me.

Thank you
Hello, I like to see your videos....do you have any video tutorials for the camshaf sensor and crankshat position sensor for Cadillac cts 2010 3.6???
Thanks for video brut , a lot of help ☺️🙌🙌🙌🙌
Would it be possible to get to it from underneath? After watching this it seemed like it could be done where you could see what you're doing.
+James Pinckard Yes, but most people don't have a lift so the team showed it for the average DIYer. THanks for watching.
Thanks for all your videos .
Good video.
2006 Altima 2.5L wouldn't start, replaced fuel pump, still didn't start. Ensured fuel pump was working by removing the fuel line at the pump and turning key to ON for 1-2 sec, and pump spit fuel into rag covering fuel line. Reconnected fuel line and figured must be missing spark. So, ran check engine code, and code said cam position sensor was bad, replaced cam position sensor, and car started right up.
Got lucky on the sensor coming out easy like that in the video. Unfortunately that is not my case 😬
Same... I'm blow this dam car up 😤
I was told that the new camshaft sensor and the crankshaft sensor would have to do a relearn step on them is that true (for the same nissan altima 2.5 your doing)
No.
I’m having trouble lining up the bolt hole any tips
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.
Thanks for your feedback! Please let us know if there is anything we can do for you in the future. +ralph wood
Hello Ralph, does the code p0300 ring a bell. I'm getting rough idle at lights and poor/hesitant acceleration. I did the coil packs and spark plugs along with cleaning out the maf sensor and it remains the same. Cam/crank shaft position sensors next..
@@jordang8442 any leaks, overheating? could be your head gasket is blown. Happened to mine not too long ago
@@jordang8442 crankshaft position sensor code is 0335
I could not get the new CPS to go all the way into the hole. The O-ring is to big or something. I tightened the bolt as tight as "comfortably" possible as to not strip the threads but to at least get a halfway seal on it. The car is running so I don't know if it's a huge issue or not. I would guess at minimum I would lose oil or something.
So from what I get here is that the camshaft and crankshaft sensors are the same?
I need suggestions. I have the adapter plug on the sensor itself but it isn’t clicked in. And I am pushing with all my might and it just isn’t clicking in. can anyone give me suggestions?
Thank you for this video!!!!!!
Es el mismo sensor en esa posición el del motor 3.5
Hi! I have very dumb question even though I’m not very knowledgeable about cars or anything. Does it have to be certain model of the part when you’re replacing the crankshaft position sensor? I’m trying to buy the part online but I don’t want to waste money and time.
Can I unclip it befor unbolting it my clip seems to be on back wards and I can’t fit anything over the bolt bc it’s to close to the sensor with it backwards
I found the comment thanks
I replaced cam/crank sensors both to address my car turning off while driving, so far so good 2w+ later.
I found some other comments but wanted to add my own: the gasket is quite tight, and putting the crank sensor in requires a ton of force I was unable to muster. What I ended up doing putting it in as far as I could, putting the bolt in some way, then was able to use a screwdriver on the side without the hole to shove it in. Basically a lever with the bolt as the fulcrum
Lastly, make sure you plug in the sensor *all* the way. There was no click, but you shouldn't be able to pull it out. Made this mistake and it worked itself out to cause the same intermittent start issues over the course of a few weeks and just had to make sure it was *actually* plugged in all the way.
Only thing i wish you did was use a flash light and a pointer stick to show exactly where crank senor is located... the rest i like
Helpful video thanks

@@1AAuto thank you for responding. I did find a better way too install the crankshaft sensor on my manual 2005 altima. Didn't need a diagnostic .
What do u do if you broke the plug that the Denver plugs in to on nissisan altma 2006
Es bueno los sub 🤘🏾
I’m having hard time finding it where is it located?
Good job🤓
+Keonne Williams Thanks for checking us out! 1AAuto.com
Quick tip is you take the cover off the engine you can see the sensor and don't have to guess
Underrated comment , this was the main savior . Remove engine cover , look straight down through intake manifold with a light on the back side near the fire wall
Can a 06 sensor work with an 08 altima??
Is it the same for 09 nissan rogue front wheel drive?

Can u tell me where this sensor is in a 97 nissan altima
I have an 06 Nissan Altima 2.5, everytime I try to turn it on I have to step on the gas peddle. Will this fix my car
Most likely.
Bro stop guessing and scan your car!! Smh
I took my 02 Altima to get scanned. Turns out it was the crank shaft position sensor (P0340) before I replaced it the service engine soon light turned on. It would crank crank crank then start. So now I replaced it and it starts like a champ but the light doesn’t turn off. I tried disconnecting the battery still doesn’t turn off. Can anyone help with this, with some advice?? Thanks
I think you have to go back on scanner and correct the codes
Btw.
Anyone.
Why he is changing the crank sensor.
The car will not start..if not change?
What was the symptoms at the beginning?
Anyone..here.knows.
Your check engine should come on, and read an odbII code. Rough starts and rough acceleration.
Do you have to disconnect the battery first?
+Christian B It is always a good idea to disconnect the battery before replacing any sensors. Thanks for watching.
I changed my sensor now my car wont start right. What do i do to fix this?
The sensor is located to the left of the throttle body on my 2006 Altima 2.5
That one is the camshaft. The crankshaft sensor is where 1a is doing it.
My dutsun is starting without crank position senser what is the porblm
would this be the same on an 02 sentra spec v? it has the same 2.5L engine.
Yes
I cant remove the sensor. Its just stuck, and yes ive tried all types of plyers
Changed the crankshaft position sensor but still getting p0335 code.
Where is it at on a 2010 2.5 model?
I need video for the 2006 Nissan Altima 3.5L
The part shown in the video does fit your application. It should be the same or a similar procedure. Hope this helps you out. +GameFanaTICK386
@@1AAuto Thank you for the reply.
Did this today and it was horrible! Cut my hand in 8 places and took 3 hours. Mine was snug as hell and had to rip it out with plyers. Then the new sensor wouldn't fit in the hole! I screwed it in hoping that would force the other side in, but it didn't work. What I had to do was take the o ring seal from the old sensor and put it on the new one. Since the old one would be compressed more and it might actually fit in. And that worked! No codes now and this pain is finally over.
Taylor N Code’s automatically go off?
Code showed to bad crank sensor, I changed it out and codes went away still will not start no fire to spark plugs
Disconnect battery to see if it would reset checked for codes, no codes still no start!
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.
Gedy m where can I get one of those??
I noticed the cam sensor on on my 2006 Altima 2.5 original engine was plastic. It was broken but still worked. The imported used engine. Had a metal one.my guess is it came new with a metal one.my new one from O reily is called original equipment. I paid more for the one with the lifetime warranty. It is metal.
on these how do u know when you have to replace them ? or its prolly a code right ?
+Free Spirit Usually you will get a code, or sometimes the vehicle might not start at all. We carry the replacement sensor shown in this video on our website. Here is a link to them www.1aauto.com/nissan-altima-frontier-sentra-position-sensor/i/1aecs00043?RUclips&CTA+Comment&
code P0335 and the check engine light on
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?
I AM HAVING SAME ISSUE CHANGED BOTH ITS ONLY CRANKING...AND NOW THAT DRAINED MY BATTERIES
Guys i changed this sensor last year on my ‘06 Altima. It’s a Nissan flaw. This car has 2 of these sensors. The one behind the engine is a bitch to change, you just have to feel around and it takes time. The other is on the side of the engine, underneath the air intake hose. I did both sensors, which are about 90 bucks each. The flaw is that the original Nissan sensor was designed with a plastic barrel, which is utter stupidity on Nissan’s part, and the newly designed one has an aluminum barrel. This problem is prone on these cars. If you haven’t changed it, you’ll have to eventually. Also, make sure the one Nissan sells you HAS the aluminum tip on it.
Same problem
I know it's from a year ago, but the CRANK sensor is the problem. Many people accidentally replace the CAM sensor instead. Cheers
Seems a lot easier to lift up the car and do it from the bottom
It’s not that easy if someone put an after market sensor in before you got to it. Also you cant see it from the bottom the way the camera shows it. I followed all the steps and it still took me 3 hours. I had to get the plug off first to access the bolt... what a mother . Needless to say I installed a Nissan sensor. no after market parts for me...
Horrible one what problems were you having before you change it? Did changing the sensor fix your problems?
