SFI SYSTEM(w/o Canister Pump Module), Diagnostic DTC:P1340

DTC Code DTC Name
P1340 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

DESCRIPTION

Tech Tips

Although the DTC titles say bank 1, these DTCs relate to the bank 2.

The camshaft position sensor system consists of a signal plate (installed on the camshaft timing intake gear assembly (bank 2)) and Magnetic Resistance Element (MRE) type camshaft position sensor. The signal plate has 3 protrusions. When it rotates, the magnetic vector (direction of magnetic field) applied to the camshaft's magnetic resistance element varies, which causes its resistance to vary. This varying resistance is converted to voltage, and then modified into a rectangular waveform with Hi (approximately 4 V) and Lo (approximately 1 V) outputs. As a result, the G2 signal is output to the ECM. The ECM uses the G2 signal to distinguish between the cylinders and detect the camshaft position.

When one of the following conditions is met:


  • No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM during cranking (2 trip detection logic).

  • No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM in appropriate timing with 600 rpm or more (1 trip detection logic).

  • Missing camshaft position sensor signal despite crankshaft position sensor signal inputs normal at engine speed of 600 rpm or more (1 trip detection logic).


  • Open or short in camshaft position sensor circuit

  • Camshaft position sensor

  • Camshaft timing intake gear assembly RH (bank 2)

  • Valve timing

  • ECM

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no pulse signal is transmitted by the camshaft position sensor despite the camshaft rotating, or the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

  5. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

  6. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

  7. Turn the GTS on.

  8. Start the engine.

  9. Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].

  10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.

  11. Read the pending DTC [B].

    Tech Tips


    • If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.

    • If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

  12. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.

  13. Input the DTC: P1340.

  14. Check the DTC judgment result.

    GTS Display Description
    NORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System normal

    ABNORMAL
    • DTC judgment completed

    • System abnormal

    INCOMPLETE
    • DTC judgment not completed

    • Perform driving pattern after confirming DTC enabling conditions

    N/A
    • Unable to perform DTC judgment

    • Number of DTCs which do not fulfill DTC preconditions has reached ECU memory limit

    Tech Tips


    • If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.

    • If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.

    • If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [A] and [B] again.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Tech Tips


  • Bank 1 refers to the bank that includes the No. 1 cylinder.*

    *: The No. 1 cylinder is the cylinder which is farthest from the transmission.

  • Bank 2 refers to the bank that does not include the No. 1 cylinder.

  • Read freeze frame data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can be helpful in determining whether the vehicle was running or stopped, whether the engine was warmed up or not, whether the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, as well as other data recorded at the time of a malfunction.

PROCEDURE


  1. CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR

    (to Camshaft Position Sensor)


    1. Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

    2. Turn the engine switch on (IG).

    3. Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

      Standard Voltage
      Tester Connection Switch Condition Specified Condition
      G66-3 (VC) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 4.5 to 5.5 V
      G66-1 (G22+) - Body ground Engine switch on (IG) 3.0 to 5.5 V
    4. Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

    5. Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

    2. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover.

    3. Check that the timing marks of the camshaft timing intake gear assemblies and camshaft timing exhaust gear assemblies are at the positions shown in the illustration.

      OK
      The timing marks on the camshaft timing gears are aligned as shown in the illustration.

      Tech Tips


      • If the result is not as specified, check for mechanical malfunctions that may have affected the valve timing, such as a jumped tooth or stretching of the timing chain.

      • When checking the valve timing, make sure the camshaft timing intake gear assemblies are set to the most retarded position and the camshaft timing exhaust gear assemblies are set to the most advanced position. When the VVT system is normal and the engine is stopped, the camshaft timing intake gear assemblies stop at the center of their operation range and the camshaft timing exhaust gear assemblies stop at the most advanced position.
