CODE PO101 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION. CODE PO101 CAN ALSO BE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR VOLUME AIR FLOW VAF SENSOR RANGE PERFORMANCE PROBLEM.
Renew the O2 sensors to start with and just hope that its a bad sensor on this bank they can break down prematurely .Luck of the draw their when buying new parts iam afraid your not the only one to buy new parts and have them go early .
The O2 sensors are new and the Mechanic says they are ok. Do you have any other options?
ie, 1) would the cars computer need to be re-programmed or 2) would I need a new catalyic converter or 3) take car back to a Nissan mechanic
Thanks
no cat should be ok at this low mileage ,check the wires to the sensors as if mechanic fitted universals then he would have cut wires and joined them, up and the connection has come loose ?? ,ON the wiring to the sensor are two wires trhe same colour normally white ,disconnect them and then put a meter across and check for 12v ,then use meter on continuety and check the same two wires on the sensor for continuety first and see what happens if they are spiking then their faulty ?well i would have thought so ,or try swopping them from one side to the other side and see if the problem is still on the same bank or if its reversed ??

Hi,
I made a mistake. The trouble code was acutally P0171 (FUEL too LEAN). Nissan says the car's emc computer needs to have some updates to its program. Further research indicates the problem lies with the MAFS. Mass air flow sensor. It should be cleaned or replaced. The the computer should be updated (only thru Nissan). I think its odd that it would take 3 sensors to fix one check engine lite.
