| 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.
| DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Memory |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P1340 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" (Bank 1 Sensor 2) | When one of the following conditions is met:
|
|
Comes on | DTC stored |
| *a | 5 V/DIV. |
| *b | 20 ms./DIV. |
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope.
Tech Tips
The correct waveform is as shown.
The wavelength becomes shorter as the engine speed increases.
| ECM Terminal Name | Between G2+ and G2- |
| Tester Range | 5 V/DIV., 20 ms./DIV. |
| Condition | Idling with warm engine |
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.
MONITOR STRATEGY
| Required sensors/Components (Main) | Camshaft position sensor |
| Required sensors/Components (Related) | Crankshaft position sensor |
| Frequency of Operation | Continuous |
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
Connect the GTS to the DLC3.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Clear the DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Turn the GTS on.
Start the engine.
Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Trouble Codes.
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.
Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine / Utility / All Readiness.
Input the DTC: P1340.
Check the DTC judgment result.
| GTS Display | Description |
|---|---|
| NORMAL |
|
| ABNORMAL |
|
| INCOMPLETE |
|
| N/A |
|
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
CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
| *a | Front view of wire harness connector (to Camshaft Position Sensor) |
Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.
Turn the engine switch on (IG).
Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.
| Standard Voltage | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
|
Turn the engine switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Visually check the camshaft position sensor for damage.
Check the camshaft position sensor installation.

INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING INTAKE GEAR ASSEMBLY RH (BANK 2)
Check the teeth of the sensor plate, and check that the sensor plate is correctly installed.
| OK |
|---|
| Sensor plate teeth do not have any cracks or deformation, and sensor plate is correctly installed. |
Tech Tips
Perform "Inspection After Repair" after repairing or replacing the camshaft timing intake gear assembly RH (bank 2).

| *a | Timing Mark | *b | Approximately 68° |
| *c | Approximately 16° | *d | Approximately 32° |
| *e | Approximately 50° | - | - |
Remove the cylinder head cover sub-assembly.
Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" of the timing chain cover.
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.
