Electronics and sensors: where to look and how to test

Electronic components Murano Z51 - one of the most vulnerable places, especially after 200,000 km. Most often they fail:

  • 📡 Throttle position sensor (22680-4M000): in the event of a malfunction, the engine “tweaks” at idle.
  • 📡 Absolute pressure sensor (22690-4M000): error P0106 indicates its failure.
  • 📡 ABS control unit (40520-4M010): If there is a breakdown, the ABS and ESP lamps come on.

Before replacing the sensor be sure to test it with a multimeter. For example, the resistance of the crankshaft position sensor (23731-4M000) must be within 800–900 Ohm. If the values ​​are outside the range, the part must be replaced.

⚠️ Attention: When purchasing electronic components, avoid parts labeled “Re manufactured” or “Used.” Even after restoration, ABS units or engine ECUs may have hidden defects that appear after 1–2 months of operation.
How to check the oxygen sensor (lambda probe)?

Connect the multimeter to the sensor connector (pins 3 and 4). The heated sensor should produce a voltage of 0.1–0.9 V at 2500 rpm. If the voltage is stable at 0.45 V, the sensor is faulty.
