Nissan Murano 2007 P0345 Code: Fixing Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Issue Without Breaking the Bank
The engine warning light activated on my 2007 Nissan Murano after I accidentally stuck a stick behind the dashboard. Could this have disconnected or damaged a sensor? The diagnostic code P0345 indicates a fault in the Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' circuit. While some suggest replacing all three camshaft sensors with new ones (costing around £300), I'm looking for a more affordable solution—especially since I've just renewed my tax, insurance, and MOT. Can anyone confirm if this issue has been resolved by checking wiring or connectors instead of full sensor replacement? I can currently drive in manual mode but would like to avoid unnecessary expenses. Any tips on diagnosing or fixing P0345 cost-effectively?
A P0334 code (corrected to P0345) can indicate one or more of the following: - A wire or electrical connector in the circuit may be grounded, shorted, or broken - The Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' itself might have failed - The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) could be malfunctioning - There may be an open circuit involving the crankshaft position sensor For a 2007 Nissan Murano, inspecting wiring harnesses and connectors near the sensor is often sufficient to resolve P0345 without replacing all three sensors. Always verify with a scan tool before making costly repairs. Read more: p0345
