PO335 Fault Code: Location of Crankshaft Position Sensor on 2003 Altima 2.5 and Engine Stalling Issue

Model: Unknown Fault Code: P0335 Posted: 2011-08-21 09:04

I'm looking for the exact location of the crankshaft position sensor on a 2003 Nissan Altima 2.5 with a PO335 fault code, which is causing the engine to stall. Can anyone confirm where this sensor is located and what steps I should take to diagnose or replace it? The issue occurs intermittently, especially when idling or starting the vehicle.

If your 2003 Altima has a distributor, the crankshaft position sensor is typically located near the top of the engine block, close to the distributor. Check AutoZone's website—many of their parts pages include diagrams and detailed descriptions. While this may not be ideal for a professional shop, it’s helpful for DIYers. For accurate part information, contact Nissan Parts directly. If this issue is common on certain model years, they often provide reliable solutions.

Yes, the PO33-5 code is a very common failure in Nissan vehicles, especially on older models like the 2003 Altima. In some years, Nissan even issued recalls related to this issue due to sensor reliability problems.
