Where is the cam shaft sensor a located in a 2003 nissan maxima

If you have a 3.5 engine there are two cam shaft sensors(one for each cam)As you look at the engine they are at the right end of the engine,at the end of the cam shafts.They tend to go at the same time,or close to one another so replace both while you are at it.They are held in place with one bolt.Go to the auto store and get the new ones and it will make your job a little easier. good luck

The camshaft sensor is positioned on the end of the cylinder head.

It is not difficult. It is located on the timing cover on the passenger side of the engine. You'll see a wire harness going to a hall effect sensor with a 10mm bolt. They should cost around $80.

However, there was also a Recall in 2003, ID# 46615 involving a bad solder joint on the crank and cam sensor control boards. You can read about it here:

where is the crank shaft sensor located on 2004 nissan maxima 3,5sl

CAM SENSOR IS ON ENGINE DRIVERS SIDE RIGHT BESIDE FUEL PRESSUE REGULATER FOLLOW STEEL FUEL LINE LOOK RIGHT BEHIND REGULATER AND YOU WILL SEE IT

are u sure this code is not for the crankshaft position sensor, there is a recall for that from Nissan, they will replace it free of charge.

Here is

is the check engine light on?? i would suspect your crank angle sensor. replace the cam sensors too. nissan had problem(there is a campaign) with those, so they came out with a crank and cam sensor kits. get the kit ( at a dealer ) and install it. actually have your nissan dealer run your VIN number to see if you don't have open campaign for it, if so, they will replace them for FREE. But that's what I would be looking at if one of those came to me to fix.
