DTC DESCRIPTION P0340 - CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT (BANK 1 OR SINGLE SENSOR)

Description:	This DTC sets when the CMP11 circuit signal cannot be detected. For additional camshaft position (CMP) sensor location information, refer to ENGINE CONTROL COMPONENTS .
Possible Causes:	CMP11 circuit open CMP11 circuit short to ground CMP11 circuit short to voltage SIGRTN circuit open CMP11 circuit shorted to other CMP circuits (2 or more CMP sensor systems) Camshaft timing incorrectly set Camshaft position sensor trigger wheel out of alignment Damaged camshaft position bank 1 sensor 1 (CMP11) shielding CMP11 sensor incorrectly installed Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber Erratic camshaft position due to low oil pressure Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the VCT valve body Damaged CMP11 sensor
Diagnostic Aids:	Harness routing, harness alterations, incorrect shielding, or electrical interference from other systems may have an intermittent impact on the CMP signal. Diagnose any base engine concerns related to the engine oil pressure or engine timing. Refer to the Engine System General Information article, Oil Pressure Test, to check the engine oil pressure. Refer to the Engine article to check the engine timing and VCT phasers.
