P0340?????? Ok so my car has thrown this code every so often. I have a Cobb AP v1 and have just cleared it myself. The last time I was at a dealership for an oil change I asked about the code and no one there could give me an answer. Does anybody Know what this is? And if it is a problem, how to fix it?
Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction What does that mean? This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it.
Ok, thanks. So what is the best way for me to go about fixing this? Whos down to help me( I'l take care of you). Would a tune fix the problem?
Causes A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened: * a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken * the camshaft position sensor may have failed * the PCM may have failed * there exists an open circuit * the crankshaft position sensor may have failed Possible Solutions With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code , diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try: * Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit * Check for continuity in the circuit wiring * Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor * Replace the camshaft position sensor as required * Check the crankshaft position circuit as well * Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required * Diagnose/replace the PCM as required
^^^^^ Ok. You are assuming I am mechanically inclined; which I am not. I would need to go to someone to resolve this. Who could help? Thanks. I didn't notice that thread. I did do a search through back threads but specifically for the code and came up empty. Again thanks.
