Camshaft position sensor location


I have a 2011 maxima throwing a P0024 code. Before I get into replacing the sensor, I was wondering if anyone had pictures of the location of the sensors. The videos I found online are for previous gen maximas.

Man, If I had known they were that easy to get to, i wouldve ordered both! I guess I'll go ahead and order the other one. They were much harder to get to on older gen from looking at youtube videos. Appreciate the help User1

Hold up there, bucko, how do you know the sensors are bad?

The sensors can be tested. See the below image from the 2014 FSM, the same values are true for all intake and exhaust sensors (they are all the same part number):

EVT control diagnostic procedure starts on page 166 of the Engine Control section in the FSM. There are other components you should check (crank position sensor, solenoids, harness, etc.) before you go throwing money at expensive sensors.

I got a p0024 code. On my last scan when I went to reset the light, I also got a p0014, p0174, and a p0171. From what I have read, the two latter need to be sorted last, as fixing the others might fix it.

I get it. And I agree. P0024 is the sister code to P0014, they correlate to each bank. Test the EVT sensors first. And unless whatever you "read" was directly from the FSM, take it with a grain of salt.

Thanks. The cam sensor I pulled out didn�t look that great.

And for the love of god, stop clearing your fault codes thinking the problem will go away without doing any diagnostics.

Diagnostics is above my pay grade (ill see if I can find my multi meter and relearn how to use it) And, you are right, I should change my oil more often. I had it changed about a week ago. I can only do so much right now while I recover from surgery. If I cant get this taken care of myself, I'm going to take it to a mechanic, but I hope I can get it done.

I cleared my codes after I replaced the sensor to see if it would stay cleared. That's how deep my skills are

Thanks for your help User1. I found the evt section. I'll give it a read.

Your codes aren't a big deal. You can figure this one out.

i think that is the wrong one. i think that is the Exhaust valve timing control position sensor. Is it just me or are they the same sensor part number?

Are Bank 1 and Bank 2 camshaft sensors the same?

Q: Are bank 1 and bank 2 sensors the same? Bank 1 and bank 2 have similar sensors. However, bank 1 has two sensors, of which sensor 1 is located near the engine before the catalytic converter, an upstream sensor called pre-CAT, and sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter called post CAT, a downstream sensor.

Where is the camshaft position sensor on a 2009 Nissan Maxima?

Hello - the cam position sensors for this engine (2) are each located near the passenger side end of the cylinder head for each cylinder bank. The engine cover must be removed to access them, and the factory sensors have green plastic connectors, making them a bit easier to spot.

How many camshaft position sensors are in a Nissan Maxima?

The Maxima has 2 of them; the right and the left one. Both are on the right side of the engine. Locate them before you start working on them.
