Name: Camshaft Position Sensor RH to suit Nissan Elgrand E51 PE52 Skyline V35 NV35 Cima HF50
Brand: Aftermarket OEM Replacement
SKU: CSCA514-3
Price: 87.99 AUD
Availability: InStock

BRAND NEW *OEM Quality* right hand exhaust side camshaft position sensor to suit Nissan Elgrand Skyline V35 2.5 and Cima HF50.

Import owners get sent in circles chasing cam sensor codes - this is the correct right hand unit for these platforms and it is dispatched from Victoria.

TO SUIT

Every Elgrand that uses this sensor lives here - the E51 and APWE50 3.5 the ME51 and MNE51 2.5 and the later PE52 3.5 from 2010. It also covers the imported Skyline V35 2.5 VQ25DD and NV35 AWD the Stagea NM35 Turbo VQ25DET and the Cima HF50 with the 3.0 VQ30DET.

FITMENT CHECK

This is the RIGHT HAND exhaust side sensor with a straight plug - the left bank takes our CSCA524. On the direct-injection VQ25DD and VQ30DD there is also a crank sensor at the rear of the block which is a different part again.

ABOUT THIS SENSOR

The Elgrand carries this sensor on the front bank where it runs hot under a people mover bonnet with very little airflow around it. Most of these vans are now twenty years old and on their original sensors so failures cluster by age rather than by kilometres.

A degraded sensor confuses injection timing badly and the symptom set - rough idle hard hot start intermittent stall - overlaps with coil pack failure, which is why these get misdiagnosed so often and why owners often replace coils first with no improvement.

COMMON SYMPTOMS OF FAILURE

Rough idle and stalling on a warm engine
Hard starting when hot then fine when cold
Check engine light with P0340 or P0345 stored
Hesitation and flat spots when loaded with passengers
Intermittent misfire mistaken for coil pack failure
Increased fuel consumption on the VQ25DD

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.
