1999 Maxima Cam Shaft Position Sensor

I was at the dealer with my 1999 Maxima and although I don't get a check engine light, they pulled a code that indicates the cam shaft position sensor is starting to fail. They mentioned there were 2 banks and I didn't have enough time to stay there for them to let me know which one it was. Does that mean there are 2 different cam shaft position sensors?

It looks like a pretty easy thing to replace. Can anyone recommend a place to buy OEM Nissan parts for a decent price, or is the dealer's parts store my best bet?

Thanks.

If you have an OBD2 tool clear it....If it actually existed!!! First of all they should be only 1 camshaft sensor on the VQ30DE!!! 2 Crankshaft sensors (1 ref, 1 pos)...If you can clear it do it and read your OBD2 again about 100 miles later to see if there was a code...If there is Rock auto it or better yet get salvage yard replacement!
