My 2004 Nissan Maxima SE is throwing the following error code:

P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2)

Two questions:

1) Which side of the engine is Bank 2? Front or rear?

2) Does the same sensor work in either bank? In other words, is there a specific sensor for each bank, or are they interchangeable?

Many thanks. Dan

It's on the rear of the left cylinder head and no they are not interchangeable.

The best thing to do is replace both cam sensors and crankshaft sensor, because if you don`t right now you soon will be replacing the other one`s
