Name: Camshaft Position Sensor 23731-6J906 RH Exhaust to suit Nissan Murano Maxima J32 V6
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA514
Price: 87.99 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* right hand exhaust side camshaft position sensor to suit the Nissan Murano Maxima and the wider V6 range.

A dead cam sensor gives you a crank-no-start and a check engine light that will not clear - this is the direct replacement and it is dispatched same-day from Melbourne before 12pm.

TO SUIT

The Murano Z50 3.5 AWD and the Maxima J32 3.5 sedan both use this sensor and neither has a dedicated listing - this is the one for those two. It also covers the rest of the Nissan V6 range that shares the part, from the VQ40 in the Navara D40 and Pathfinder R51 to the VQ35 in the 350Z Skyline and Stagea the VQ25 in the Elgrand and the VQ30DET in the Cima HF50.

FITMENT CHECK

This is the RIGHT HAND exhaust side sensor with a straight plug. The left hand side takes a different part - our CSCA524. Most V6 engines here run one on each bank so check which side you are replacing before ordering. The Maxima J31 PJ31 is NOT covered - it uses the left hand rear bank sensor.

PACKAGE INCLUDES

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

On the transverse Murano and Maxima the cam sensors sit at the front of the engine facing the radiator, which makes them far easier to reach than the rear-mounted crank sensor on the same cars. Heat cycling through the plastic housing is what eventually opens the circuit.

Without a cam signal the ECU cannot sequence the injectors, so it either falls into a limp strategy or refuses to start at all. On these family cars the first complaint is usually a rough idle at the lights rather than a hard failure.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough idle at a standstill and hesitation off the line
Check engine light with P0340 P0341 P0345 or P0365 stored
Engine cranks but will not start
Stalling at low speed or when coming to a stop
Poor fuel economy and reduced power in limp mode
Hard starting when the engine is hot

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.
