G35 Turned off while driving
Hi,
My car turned off by itself while driving, then when I turned it back on the VDC, Slip and check engine light is on. After a quick search, the most popular solution is Crankshaft Position Sensor Bank 1. Looks like an easy fix, though the part is $100. I've seen other people reply that it did not work, and there was never really a solid solution, do I have to replace both Bank 1 and Bank 2? or is it something completely different? Thanks.

You need to know what code the computer is throwing to identify the failed sensor. Don't just throw parts at it. Please!

Op I think you're confused. If you have the DE motor it runs with 1 crank sensor and 2 camshaft position sensors. If you have the rev-up motor then you have 4 cam sensors. If you don't know the difference between the 2 you need to read a lot more on here before you try to work on your car. Also as mentioned the first thing you should always do when a SES light appears is have the car scanned for trouble codes (DTC's) They will help a ton with diagnosing issues so you'll know where to look for the solution.

So I got the code p0340 which is bank 1 camshaft position sensor, and I got p0615 which is the circuit relay starter. causing the car not to turn on. This relay circuit sensor only happened right when my sensor went out while driving, does this mean once I replace the sensor the circuit relay starter will fix?

I received the same codes, got my cam shaft position sensors replaced and happy days
i tried to hold it off and do it myself, but within a week it would not turn over after shutting off, so it became a danger.
