BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* camshaft position sensor to suit Nissan Skyline V35 and Stagea M35 with VQ25 VQ30 and VQ35 engines.

A dying cam angle sensor on a VQ V35 usually shows up as a long crank when hot and a stumble off idle before it finally strands you. This is the left hand side angled sensor that fixes it, dispatched same-day from Cranbourne VIC before 12pm.

TO SUIT

Fits the Nissan Skyline V35 sedan and coupe from 2001 to 2007 across CPV35 PV35 NV35 and HV35 variants running VQ25DD VQ30DD or VQ35DE, and the Stagea M35 wagon 2001 to 2007 including PM35 PNM35 and NM35 Turbo. Covers both Australian delivered and JDM import V35 and M35 builds.

FITMENT CHECK

V35 and M35 engines carry more than one cam sensor. This is the LEFT HAND SIDE angled unit. The VQ30DD HM35 Stagea uses the same sensor mounted on the right hand bank - the part is identical, only the location differs.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

1 x camshaft position sensor with 3-pin oval connector, supplied without cable. Mounts left hand side - angled.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The camshaft position sensor reports camshaft angle to the ECU so injection and ignition timing can be set against the crank signal. On the VQ series it is a hall-effect unit reading a toothed trigger wheel on the cam sprocket.

When the signal drifts the ECU loses cam-to-crank correlation and falls back to a limp strategy - extended cranking, retarded timing and in some cases a no-start. On JDM import V35s a failing sensor is frequently misdiagnosed as a coil or fuel pump fault.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

  • Extended cranking or intermittent no-start, worse when the engine is hot
  • Stalling at idle or when coming off throttle
  • Hesitation and misfire under load through the mid range
  • Check engine light with P0340 P0341 P0345 or P0365
  • Erratic or dropping tachometer reading while driving
  • Noticeably increased fuel consumption with no other fault found

How do I test a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor?

Use an OBD2 scanner to check for fault codes P0335 to P0338 (crankshaft) or P0340 to P0349 (camshaft). You can also test the sensor with a multimeter - inductive sensors should show resistance between 200 and 1,000 ohms, while Hall effect sensors require a live voltage test with the engine cranking. Erratic or absent RPM signal on a live data scanner is a strong indicator of sensor failure.

Can a cam or crank sensor fault cause my vehicle to go into limp mode?

Yes. A faulty crankshaft position sensor in particular can cause the ECU to lose engine speed and position data entirely, which may trigger limp mode or prevent the engine from starting. A faulty camshaft sensor on variable valve timing engines can cause the VVT system to default to a fixed position, significantly reducing power and fuel economy.

Do cam and crank sensors need to be programmed after replacement?

In most cases no - aftermarket OEM replacement sensors are direct plug-in replacements that require no programming. However some vehicles, particularly late model European makes including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, may require a crankshaft adaptation reset using a dealer-level scan tool after replacement. Check your vehicle service information before replacing the sensor.

What are the symptoms of a faulty crankshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include intermittent stalling, engine not starting, rough idle, misfires, and a Check Engine light with codes P0335-P0338. In severe cases the engine will crank but not start as the ECU cannot determine crank position for ignition timing.

What are the symptoms of a faulty camshaft position sensor?

Symptoms include poor performance, misfires, difficulty starting, rough idle, and fault codes P0340-P0343. Variable valve timing systems (VVT) will also be affected, causing sluggish response and increased fuel consumption.

Can I drive with a bad crankshaft position sensor?

If the sensor has failed completely the engine will not start or will stall and not restart. If it is intermittently failing, driving is dangerous - the engine can cut out without warning. Replace it immediately.

Do I need to replace both the cam and crank sensor at the same time?

Not necessarily - replace whichever has failed based on fault codes and diagnosis. However, if your vehicle has high kilometres and one has failed, it is worth considering replacing both as they are similar in age and condition.
