Nissan Micra 1.4 2004 - Fault code for cam sensor, replaced cam and crank senor #

Posted by Roger Wheeler on January 23, 2009, 2:09 pm

Year of Manufacture *: 2004
Engine Code or Type *: 1400 Petrol
( Optional ) Scanner used: Bosch KTS

Hi
I have had this car come to us from another garage. They read fault memory and diagnosed cam sensor, fitted one and still cuts out and reads this fault.
Tested with our equipment and came to the same conclusion. replaced genuine cam and crank sensors, erased memory and test drove. All fine until this morning when it started from cold, stalled and then started eventually bringing on the MIL.
Faultcode back again - cam sensor. Have visually checked the stator ring on the end of the cam and seems ok.
Have read various archives on these and need to know if there is a way of proving it is the timing chain as its not noisy and only done 27,000 miles from new.
Any advice greatfully received.

Hello Roger,
how far out is the tensioner? I have just had one in that had only done 18k and the tensioner was out about 20 mm. Anything more than 12mm and you have a stretched chain.

Hi Andy
Thank you for the tip I have looked at the tensioner piston and it appears to be 25 to 30 mm.
Just phoned my local dealer to ask what the tolerence is and guess what the service receptionist said "it wont be the chain, we have never heard of that or ever changed one"
Obviously started work there today.
Thanks again I will reprt back.
