Show This guide discusses the Nissan crankshaft position sensor, referred to as a crank sensor or CKP. It is often confused with the camshaft position sensor, which can also fail and cause engine start problems. The most common symptom of a failed crankshaft position sensor on a Nissan is that the car hesitates to start or stalls after it starts. Sometimes, it may require you to crank the car for a long time to get it to start. When a crankshaft position sensor fails, your Nissan not only will hesitate to start or may not start at all, but the check engine light will turn on. If you scan the ECU for fault codes, you will get trouble codes such as P0335, P0340, or even P0725. This problem is common on Nissan Altimas but may affect multiple Nissan vehicles, including Nissan Quest, Altima, Sentra, Maxima, 370z, Navara, Rogue, Murano, NV200, Micra, Sunny, Qashqai, and Serena.
