Member Credit: EddyMaxx I was getting the following code: P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction This code was causing my car to go into “limp mode” and wouldn’t go over 3500 RPM. Also, don’t confuse this sensor with the Camshaft Position Sensor. The sensor is very easy to change. All you need is a 10MM socket. Symptoms: The Fix: I ordered a sensor from eBay which claimed to be OEM. The part number is 23731-AL60C. While the car started up fine, it still wouldn’t rev over 3500 RPM. Likely a faulty sensor. So I went to my local Advanced Auto and purchased a new one. With the discount code, it came out to $35.00. After
installing the sensor the car started up perfectly and went out of limp mode. I went for a quick drive and code was permanently gone. I’m always about OEM products when it comes to sensors. However, in the case the aftermarket one below work just fine and comes with warranty. Just ensure you keep the receipt. 5-Speed Auto Crankshaft Position Sensor LocationThe crank sensor is located at the bottom center of the engine just below the flywheel area.

This guide discusses the Nissan crankshaft position sensor, referred to as a crank sensor or CKP. It is often confused with the camshaft position sensor, which can also fail and cause engine start problems. The most common symptom of a failed crankshaft position sensor on a Nissan is that the car hesitates to start or stalls after it starts. Sometimes, it may require you to crank the car for a long time to get it to start. When a crankshaft position sensor fails, your Nissan not only will hesitate to start or may not start at all, but the check engine light will turn on. If you scan the ECU for fault codes, you will get trouble codes such as P0335, P0340, or even P0725. This problem is common on Nissan Altimas but may affect multiple Nissan vehicles, including Nissan Quest, Altima, Sentra, Maxima, 370z, Navara, Rogue, Murano, NV200, Micra, Sunny, Qashqai, and Serena.
