ECD SYSTEM(for CCo), Diagnostic DTC:P0340

DTC Code DTC Name
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor (G signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.

The G signal plate (timing sprocket) has one tooth on its outer circumference and is installed on the camshaft. When the camshaft rotates, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change, causing fluctuations in the magnetic field that generate a voltage in the pickup coil.

The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft angle sensor plate. The NE signal sensor generates 34 signals for every revolution. The ECM detects the camshaft angle based on the G signal, and detects the crankshaft angle based on the NE signal.

DTC No.

Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

STA on:

No camshaft position sensor signal is sent to the ECM while cranking for 4 seconds or more.

(2 trip detection logic)

STA off:

Camshaft position sensor signal is not input with an engine speed of 650 rpm or more.

(1 trip detection logic)

STA off:

Phase deviation in crankshaft and camshaft position sensor signals with an engine speed of 650 to 3000 rpm occurs a certain number of times.

(1 trip detection logic)

DTC Stored
Tip:

  • If DTC P0340 is stored, the following symptoms may appear:

    • Difficult starting

    • Misfire

    • Combustion noise

    • Black smoke

    • White smoke

    • Lack of power

CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT

Note:

After replacing the ECM, the new ECM needs registration (Click here) and initialization (Click here).

Tip:

  • After performing the inspection procedure for the camshaft position sensor, if DTC P0340 is output again, check the following items related to the crankshaft position sensor.

    • Installation condition of the crankshaft position sensor

    • No. 1 crankshaft position sensor plate

    • Connection of the crankshaft position sensor connector

  • 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.
