You need a mechanic with a professional grade scan tool computer. That will do a full scan of the vehicle and say which part is causing the transmission not to shift. Is the Engine Malfunction Light on? A simple scan tool can read those.
What Are the Symptoms of a Bad or Failing Camshaft Position Sensor?
Check Engine Light Comes On. The most common indicator that the camshaft position sensor is failing is a lit Check Engine light. ...
Camshaft position sensor is just a new name for what replaced what use to be the distributor cap and wires. So, that sensor is on the top of the shaft that once was called a distributor.

P0340 2005 Nissan Murano - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Possible causes- Faulty Camshaft Position Sensor-
Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted- Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection- Faulty starter motor- Starting system circuit-
Dead (Weak) battery
P1701- Fuel trim
I would suggest replacing the camshaft position sensor. When the sensor fails it can cause changes in fuel system that the computer can detect. So I suspect once the camshaft sensor ivreplaced that the P1701 code will be gone. Cam Position Sensor Replacement Nissan Murano 3 5L
As the cam shaft is there to control the operation of the valves in relation to the piston position
and there is no connection whatso ever between the camshaft and the transmission then No --fitting a new cam shaft will not affect a transmission
However if the person fitting the cam shaft was not a tradesman, was not using a workshop manual as a reference then it is possible that any vacuum hoses that are connected to the transmission are not connected and wires to the transmission could be not connected or damaged
Hello! Yes a defective Camshaft Positioning Sensor (CPS) can cause what would appear to be erratic shifting due to incorrect timing...clarify what you changed? Is TCS, both of them a typo? The Throttle Positioning Sensor (TPS) may also be involved...Give me the exact P code...
Hi : Your CPS (Camshaft position sensor) is located on the Engines Front Cover (Timing Chain Cover) its right below your Cylinder Head ,Get a Good Bright Light to Locate it ,You'll see a Wiring Connector plugged into the Sensor, emove the electrical Plug.
Then you have 1- Screw Holding it in Place -Remove the Retaining Screw and Remove the Sensor.
To replace it with your new Camshaft Sensor Put the Camshaft Sensor in where you took out your Old one,Replace the Retaining Screw Tighten up Good And Snug,Put the Wiring connector back on the Sensor and Your Done. This will get your job done,Let me know Please how My Solution/instructions have Helped you. Thanks From d_hubbs
DTC (diagnostic trouble code) P0340 is indicating a fault has occured in the camshaft position sensor system of the cars' electronic engine control system. DTC P0717 is for a transmission input turbine shaft speed. Typically these codes are unrelated. Both the sensors are variable reluctance devices. They have no moving parts and as such are robust and not usually prone to failure. But they can and do fail. Are either codes "hard" faults or are they in the continous memory of the computer? Does the P0340 clear itself when the engine is shut off and restarted? Can you cause the P0340 to reoccure just by starting the engine and with out driving it and revving the engine to 1500 to 2000 rpm for 1 to 2 minutes while in Park? The P0717, when cleared should only reoccure when the car is driven. If the camshaft position sensor has been replaced and still the same code occures make sure you have the correct information as to the meaning of this code in regards to your particular model year and engine. Does the engine have a camshaft position sensor for each camshaft? If so what is the DTC code for the other camshaft position sensor. Yes, the engine's computer (ICM, PCM, ECM, all terms for same thing) could be faulty but in most cases this is not the problem. Does the transmission seem to shift properly? You probably won't notice a differnece in the way the engine runs if the camshaft position fails due to the default stratagy used in the ICM. Wiring would be my next area of concern. Does the wiring for the camshaft position sensor and the transmission sensor go through the same wiring harness and could you have a poor connection at some point in that harness? Inspect the wiring and the hardshell connectors throughout the harness. Let me know what you find out. Thanks
I hate to tell you this, but there is not Camshaft Position Sensor on any 1.9L
Single or Dual OHC. I assume you had someone read a Diagnostic Trouble Code
from your PCM. They probably told you that you needed a Camshaft Position
Sensor, and then offered to sell you one. I would recommend changing your spark
plugs and your plug cables with FACTORY REPLACEMENTS. This will usually make
the DTC go away. Aftermarket plugs and wires rarely work well for this engine.
If you are looking for a CRANKSHAFT position sensor, look between the engine
and transmission on the back side of the transmission. It is also known as the
"transmission input speed sensor". More often than not though, your engine will
not fire up if the Crank position sensor is not working. Hope this helps.
