2007 nissan murano camshaft position sensor bank 1 location

Any one replace the CAM POSITION SENSOR?

Is this something I can do or dealer only?

What about the Oxygen sensor??

Thanks

As I am sure you are aware the VQ has two camshaft Position sensors, one for each bank. Each sensor is secured to the head by a single bolt. When installing the new sensor the torque spec for the bolt is 85 inch-pounds (not ft-lbs).

Why do you suspect the sensor is bad?

To finish Njjoe's note...why do you also think the O2 sensors are bad? Those guys last a very long time.

I have a Service Manual & I can post pics if you need.

When I went to autozone and had them pull the codes the first one that came up was p0340 on bank 1.
And after researching the symptoms other have seen with a bad CPS I am having the same exact issues (intermittent hard starting, loss of power)

The other code was p051, which I believe is the O2 sensor.

I suspect that once I take care of the cam positioning sensor the O2 fault will resolve itself...

So it sounds pretty easy to replace the CPS. Just take old one out and put new one in

Can you tell me which is bank one of the motor.

Warhammer if you would post some images from the service manual that would be great...

On a side note, as I was researching the CPS, more than one person stated that they had the p0340 fault code come up after they changed the battery, same as me...
Seems like a very strange coincidence??

Thanks for the help!!

Unfortunately for you, bank 1 is the rear bank. Accessability may be a problem.

Before you tackle the cam sensor you might want to try resetting the electronics by disconnecting the battery for a minute and seeing it that resolves the problem. It's worth a shot.

Also be sure not to leave the battery disconnected for too long. Disconnecting the battery for too long will force you to have to perform some relearns. Here's a pic of where the cam postion sensors are:

I know this is extremely old thread but this is only post on web where someone offered to send pics of where these two suckers are. Code says one bad but thought I might as well replace both as I have 150000 miles on car. If you still have pics could you please send? Do you think I should replace oxygen sensors while I am at it? Thank you.

he did post a pic. look at post 7. click on the little pic to make it bigger.

My wifes car got code P0345 today. a few weeks ago it was losing power and getting it back. Lunging, but due to a power loss, not gain. No SES light came on or anything. Well she drove the car for the first time today since then and the SES, VDC off, and SLIP light all came on while driveing. when she got back in the car, only the SES light was on. Does this sound like a sensor or something else? Could the sensor be getting a signal saying the camshaft is off? bad timeing?

could be cps, but sounds more like a voltage issue. bad grounds, bad battery or bad alternator. Cam sensors are a cheap and easy fix though, so you might try that just to rule it out first.

Is this pic for an 09

This is the 1st generation forum so you should post your question there if you're asking about a 2009 Murano. Nevertheless, you've presumably removed the airbox and tubing up to the throttle body? Removing the throttle body might give you the little extra space you need.

Were you ever able to get any help with this? I have to replace mine and can't find anything on line.

The bank 1 camshaft position sensor for the 2nd generation Murano is nestled underneath the intake plenum next to the #6 ignition coil (see pic below). The problem is all the stuff in the way. If you remove the intake tubing and throttle body then maybe you can sneak it out? Can't say for sure. If not, you'll need to remove the intake plenum.

BTW, you should post your question in the 2nd generation forum.
