| DTC Code | DTC Name |
|---|---|
| P0340 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) |
| P0344 | Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Intermittent (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) |
DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor is installed on the cylinder head cover. The camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, the tooth on the camshaft passes the camshaft position sensor. The generated voltage in the sensor acts as a signal. The ECM locates each cylinder position based on the combination of this signal and crankshaft position sensor signal.
The camshaft position sensor (G signal sensor) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto Resistance Element).
The camshaft timing gear has a NO. 2 crank angle sensor plate for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the sensor plate and MRE, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
Tech Tips
When the ECM must be replaced, before replacing the ECM, perform the "Learning Values Save" function using the GTS. Then after installing a new ECM, perform all of the initialization and registration procedures for the "Learning Values Write" function by following the instructions shown on the GTS display.
Read freeze frame data using the GTS. Freeze frame data records the engine condition when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
