Service engine soon

Hi I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima the service engine soon light is on and the code reads its the crank shaft sensor but my mechanic just replaced it with a genuine nissan part and cleared the code and still comes up that it is the crank shaft sensor and the TCS and SLIP lights come on fairly regularly. None of these seem to effect the running efficiency except the car shut off sometimes right after I start it up but has no problem starting up again

Service engine soon wont go away!!!!!!!!!

Hello
The engine and transmission in this cars drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

2003 Nissan xterra...couple problems...timing belt just changed...knock sensor, crank shaft positioning sensor, distributor cap all changed...service engine soon light keeps coming on...took to...

Had same issue with (re: crank position sensor) on a 2002 Kia. Had all the same work done as you, only to find out with was one of those Kias with a manufacture defect in the block where the crankshaft keeper key slots to lock crankshaft in place in block. The block half of the slot had worn and the crank shaft itself kept slipping out of time. Is it throwing any codes? Gas pedal linkage may well just need a good cleaning and lubrication.

I am getting an error code for cam shaft sensors on a 2002 Nissan max. Is is complicated to go under the hood and replace them?

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:

2005 altima, check engine light came on....mechanic said it was the crank shaft sensor...replace both of them......light comes back on a week later, then goes out, then comes back on....seems like whenever...

obviously not a mechanic
with bad sensors you would have starting and noticeable engine running problems
have the fault codes read by an accredited service center and check the EVAP system

What causes a car not accelerate properly

I know common issues for the the 2000 Maximawas the Mass Air Flow sensor and the coils. I think both of them triggered a Service Engine Soon light.

My 2002 Maxima has had no issues yet (only 70k miles, unlike the 180k on the 2000).

Transmission stuck in 5th gear???

This is most likely one of your cam shaft sensors. The reason your transmission goes to 5th gear and stays there is because the car automatically goes into "safe mode". This prevents you from running the car on high RPM's which decreases the chance of causing more damage to the engine.
Depending on the code you get from the check engine light, it will be one of the cam-shaft sensors or the crank shaft sensor. A code reader will answer that question.
Often the sensor just fails or oil gets into the connectors which prevents proper reading. This sometimes goes away temporarily when engine is hot but problem will return.
To replace the cam shaft sensors you are looking at approximately 30 min of work. Its a tight fit but not a difficult job.
Cam shaft sensors are about $80. Not sure how much crank haft sensor is.
Hope this helps, and good luck.
