3.5litre V6 Front wheel drive, the cam position sensor is in the back of the cylinder head above the transmission. bank one is the front bank, nearest to the grill. the cam sensor is held into the head with a 10mm bolt, has one wireing connector with 3 wires in it. the sensor is sort of round with a leg off one side for the bolt the secure.
may need to remove the engine cover to see it. it is held down with allen key bolts.

Just replaced camshaft sensor, bank 2, on a 2004 nissan maxima and now i have a loss of power, but the car runs smooth again. the same code keeps coming back though. what else can i do?

did you have a cam sensor stored?? and also which bank sensor did you replace?? bank 1 and bank 2 can be easily mixed up. well not mixed up, but bank 1 is by the firewall. bank 2 is at the radiator. you may have replaced bank 1 instead of bank 2. so when you remove the air box to replace sensors and you are lookin at the connectors, bank 1 is the one on the right side head. bank 2 is the left side head if you are looking at it from air box side. if you are looking at it from crank pulley side, bank 1 is on the left and bank 2 is on the right head. what code do you still have stored??

Where is the rear bank camshaft position sensor located on a 2004 Nissan Maxima DOHC 6 cylinder?

Both cam sensors are on the rear of the cylinder heads. They are located in the same place on each head. The only difference in the two sensors is one has a straight connector and the other has an angled connector because of other things that are in the way, (see diagram)

WHERE IS THE CAM POSITION SENSOR LOCATED ON A 2004 NISSAN MAXIMA

WHEN YOU STAND ON THE FRONT OF THE CAR YOU ONE IS RIGHT BELOW OF THE INTAKE WHICH IS BANK 2 OR THE ONE CLOSE TO FIREWALL , BANK 1 ONE IS ON SAME SIDE NEXT TO THE RADIATOR BUT THEY BOTH ON THE CAM RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE, THE EASIEST WAY TO IDENTIFY THEM IS THAT THEIR CONNECTOR IS GREEN, ONCE YOU LOCATE THEM THE CLIP NEEDS TO BE PUSHED DOWN TOWARD THE SENSOR FOR THE CONNECTOR TO BE RELEASED, ONCE YOU REMOVE THE CONNECTOR THERE WILL BE ONLY A 10MM SCREW HOLDING THE SENSOR PULL IT OUT , THE SAME SETTING THE NEW ONE PUSH IT ALL THE WAY IN , THIGHT THE 10MM SCREW, CONNECT IT BACK AND YOU'RE DONE,BUT FOR THE ONE ON THE BACK SOMETIMES MIGHT BE NECESARY FOR YOU TO TAKE THE INTAKE OFF....HOPEFULLY IS NOT YOUR CASE....



Good luck!!! and if you need the crank for hard starting on hot/warm, it is located on the botton middle section on the transmission is the only cable that goes down to a small piece of metal and it is held by a 10mm screw only to protect the sensor, you will se the sensor once you remove that small about 6-8 inches piece of metal. Then you'll be able to unescrew the 10mm screw that holds the crank position sensor. when you pull it off you'll be able to see the fly wheel inside the transmission...



you all enjoy your rides out htere!!!
