Instructions:
1. Locate the camshaft position sensor. It is located on the front of the engine, just below the intake manifold. It is held in place by two bolts.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from the camshaft position sensor.
3. Remove the bolts that hold the camshaft position sensor in place.
4. Remove the old camshaft position sensor.
5. Install the new camshaft position sensor. Tighten the bolts until they are snug.
6. Reconnect the electrical connector to the camshaft position sensor.
That is how you replace the camshaft position sensor on your 2006 Nissan Xterra 4.0 V6. This is a relatively easy repair that you can do at home with some basic tools. If you have any questions or concerns, please consult your vehicle's service manual or a qualified mechanic.
