DTC P0340: Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor No Signal




General Description
Camshaft position (CMP) sensor consists of a rotor and a semiconductor that detects rotor position. When the engine starts, the rotor turns and the magnetic flux in the semiconductor device changes. The changes of magnetic flux are converted into pulsing signals to the powertrain control module (PCM). The PCM determines the camshaft position according to the signals from the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor and the CMP sensor. If no pulsing signals are detected from the CMP sensor, a malfunction is detected and a DTC is stored.

Enable Conditions

Malfunction Threshold
No signals from CMP sensor are detected while signals from the CKP sensor are detected 352 times in succession.

Diagnosis Details

Conditions for illuminating the indicator
When a malfunction is detected, the D indicator blinks, and the DTC and the freeze frame data are stored in the PCM memory. The MIL does not come on.

Conditions for clearing the DTC
The DTC and the freeze frame data can be cleared by using the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the battery.
