Detailed Description

The Hitachi CPS0142 camshaft position sensor is designed for vehicles that rely on precise camshaft signal input for engine control. By reporting camshaft position to the ECU, this sensor supports correct ignition and fuel management on applications such as 2002-2006 Nissan Altima, left; 2003-2006 Nissan 350Z, left; 2003-2007 Nissan Murano, left; 2004-2015 Nissan TITAN, N/A; and 2005-2017 Nissan Frontier, left. It also covers select INFINITI models including FX35, G35, M35, I35, and QX56.

Use CPS0142 when servicing a Nissan Maxima camshaft position sensor, a Nissan Pathfinder camshaft position sensor, or an INFINITI G35 camshaft position sensor with the listed OE-style fitment. The broad vehicle coverage makes this a practical replacement for many 2002-2018 Nissan and INFINITI engine management repairs.

Common Issues This Sensor May Address

• Check engine light related to camshaft position signal faults
• Hard starting or extended crank conditions
• Rough idle caused by incorrect camshaft timing input
• Stalling or intermittent engine operation
• Driveability problems tied to sensor signal loss

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the connector style, terminal count, and mounting position before installation. This sensor uses a 3-pin male connector and is listed for left-side and N/A-position applications depending on vehicle. Verify the exact model year and position against the fitment list, especially on 2018 Frontier, 2018 NV1500, and 2018 NV2500 applications with date-specific notes.

For best results, inspect the wiring harness, connector terminals, and surrounding engine components before replacing the sensor. Clear diagnostic trouble codes after installation and verify proper engine operation.
