It could very well be the sensor , you may have more than one , the code tells you where the trouble is not what to replace , you may not be able to get the old one out because exhaust threads tend to rust and seize , take it to a shop is my advice

I own a 2013 Nissan Sentra sedan & my rpms are fluctuating anywhere from 1-4 rpms and it sometimes has a hard time taking off and when I'm driving the rpms are never steady and now it's been a week and it's starting to kick back and fourth when I drive. I took it to two body shops and one was the Nissan shop. I have zero lights on and they didn't find any codes pop up either scan test and it's getting worse. How do I know if it's my transmission or something else if I can't find a code pop up through body shops or if it's not triggering one on its own while driving!!! HELP
