Where is the crankshaft position sensor located on the 2006 Frontier 2.5L (XE)? This is in regards to a P0335 code.
Most videos I’ve seen appear to apply to the V6 Frontier with the CKPS accessed from passenger side wheel well. On my XE, the CKPS appears to be located on top of engine near firewall (p/n looks like 22448 EA000).

The cam position sensor and crank position sensor are the same part number. The crank position sensor is located on the right bank of the engine block (passenger side in the US), below the starter and rearward of the oil pressure switch. There's a picture on page EC-325 of the factory service manual.

The cam position sensor is located on the back side of the cylinder head, just below the valve cover and just above the engine coolant temp sensor. There's a picture of it on page EC-332.

Here's a link to the EC section of the 06 Frontier FSM:

The Nissan P/N is 23731-6N21A. Rockauto.com has the sensors in Hitachi brand, which makes the OE sensor, as well as NTK, which is also very good and makes the OE oxygen sensors for Nissan and is the same company as NGK, which makes the spark plugs for Nissan. The Hitachi is a little more money but has a longer warranty. Either is about 1/2 the price of genuine Nissan. It's best to stick with OE parts when it comes to these sensors.

Nissan 22448-EA000 is the part number for an ignition coil pack.

Exactly what I needed, thank you. I did spend a few extra bucks and bought the Hitachi.

It's right by the oil filter, just change it next time you change oil.

Where is my cam position sensor located?

The Camshaft Position sensor is typically located in the cylinder head of the engine and has a cylindrical portion that inserts into the head. The Crankshaft Position sensor is normally located in the timing cover or on the side of the block with a cylindrical portion that inserts into the block.

What are the symptoms of a camshaft sensor?

A glowing check engine light, stalling, poor acceleration and bad fuel mileage are all possible signs your camshaft position sensor may be failing. Gone are the days of carburetors and distributors, replaced by a variety of sensors that help a car's computer get the maximum performance out of the engine.
