Crankshaft Sensor Issue

Hey, I'm having some issues with my 2006 Nissan Winner diesel. It's got 237644 km on the clock. The check engine light is on, and I'm experiencing reduced engine power, poor engine response, and higher fuel consumption. I scanned the codes and it points to a problem with the crankshaft to camshaft reference value. I'm suspecting the crankshaft sensor might be defective. Has anyone dealt with this before?

A 2006 Nissan Winner diesel with 237,644 km is experiencing reduced engine power, poor response, and higher fuel consumption, with a check engine light indicating a crankshaft to camshaft reference value issue. The suspected cause is a defective crankshaft sensor. Another person with a similar issue suggested checking the timing chain or cam sensor, but confirmed that replacing the crankshaft sensor resolved their problem. The original issue was indeed the crankshaft sensor, which was fixed at a workshop.

Did this summary help you solve your problem?

I had a similar issue with my Nissan Winner, though mine is a bit newer. The symptoms sound familiar. Did you check the timing chain? Sometimes a stretched chain can cause that reference value error, or the cam sensor itself.

Thanks for the reply. I haven't checked the timing chain yet, I was thinking more along the lines of the crank sensor itself. If it was the timing chain would that throw any other codes? How did you solve your issue, what part was defective?

Yeah, mine was the crank sensor in the end. Didn't have any other codes beyond the reference value one. But it's worth checking the chain if you're already in there. I'd say take it to a workshop, that's what I did.

Appreciate the insight. I'll probably do just that. I'll get it to the workshop. Turns out you were spot on, it was indeed the crankshaft sensor, cost me 340€ to fix. Thanks again!
