The camshaft position sensor calculates the rotational speed of the camshaft and where the camshaft is positioned in that rotation.
Camshaft sensor bank 1 circuit malfunction.
Sensor a indicates that the malfunction is occurring with the camshaft position sensor circuit that pertains to the intake camshaft.
This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation.
Sensor b codes pertain to the exhaust camshaft.
Also my car has been backfiring when i try to start it the first time could this be causing that.
Relates to the b exhaust cam timing being over retarded on bank 1.
This information is used by the engine control module to control ignition and fuel injection the camshaft position sensor senses the retraction of camshaft intake to identify a particular cylinder.
Relates to b exhaust camshaft position where the cam timing is over advanced on bank 1.
This code could also be set as the result of a performance failure in the system.
Pulled codes and got p0340 for camshaft position sensor circuit bank 1.
This code could also be set as the result of a performance failure in the system.
Relates to the a inlet cam timing being over retarded on bank 1.
Since the circuit is a concern the problem could be in any component of the circuit such as pcm wiring and sensor itself.
2005 pontiac sunfire 2.
What the p0340 code means.
Relates to a inlet camshaft position where the cam timing is over advanced on bank 1.
The camshaft sensor sends a signal to the power control module pcm to communicate this information.
The code is p0340 and then it says camshaft position sensor a bank 1 circuit malfunction.
Dealer does not have it listed at all.
P0010 is a diagnostic trouble code dtc for a camshaft position actuator circuit bank 1.
Obd ii fault code p0340 is a generic code that is defined as camshaft position cmp sensor a bank 1 circuit malfunction and is set when the pcm powertrain control module detects an electrical problem in the control circuit of the camshaft position sensor labelled a.
Its only on the first time i turn the key though after that the car starts just fine.
Have found out this part does not exist for my car.
Camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction.
Definition the cps is an electronic device that is usually utilized in an engine to easily and quickly record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning.
On the other hand v6 or v8 engines have two banks bank 1 and bank 2 and would therefore have two cmps so dtc p0345 would refer to bank 2.
P0340 meaning the camshaft position sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning.
