New member, 2010 Pathfinder P0940 Code Cam Position Sensor ?

Postby TheGrayt1 » Sun Feb 10, 2019 7:47 am

Hey guys, have a nice 2010 Pathfinder with 112k on the clock. My wife was driving yesterday when it was cold and rainy and when she went to start the truck it started slow and the service engine soon light came on. Took it to Autozone and it is throwing a P0940 code for the camshaft position sensor. How bad is this to replace by myself? They wanted $73 fpr the sensor but I see them on ebay for way less. Are these okay?

They told me also I could remove the original and maybe clean it to make it work. Is that true? Lastly, I washed the engine bay with degreaser and light hose pressure about 2 weeks ago with no issues, but did that cause this problem?

Thanks in adavance

Welcome to ThePath your new home away from home! :D

As for the first part of your question I have not done it but I have been told its not a lot of time or difficulty involved.
However best to wait for one of our master techs to answer.
