The camshaft position (CMP) sensor is a 1X sensor. The CMP sensor provides one digital ON/OFF signal to the ignition control (IC) module per revolution of the camshaft. The CMP sensor is connected directly to the IC module and sends the CMP sensor pulses to the powertrain control module (PCM) on the camshaft position signal. This information is used by the PCM to determine the position of the valve train relative to the crankshaft position (CKP). By monitoring the CMP and CKP signals, the PCM can accurately time the operation of the fuel injectors. The PCM monitors the CMP sensor for errors. The CMP sensor wiring includes the following circuits:
• | The CMP sensor signal circuit |
• | A shared 12-volt reference circuit |
• | A shared low reference circuit |
• | A camshaft position signal circuit |
• | The engine is cranking or running for more than 3 seconds. |
• | The DTC runs continuously when the above condition is met. |
Important: The PCM detects engine movement by sensing the airflow through the mass air flow (MAF) sensor is more than 3 g/s, or by sensing CMP sensor pulses.
• | The PCM detects 36 medium resolution engine speed signals for every 2 engine revolutions while receiving 6 low engine speed signals and more than 1 camshaft position signal. |
• | The above condition is met for more than 8 seconds. |
DTC P0341 is a Type B DTC.
DTC P0341 is a Type B DTC.

• | Close routing of secondary ignition wires |
• | Close routing of aftermarket electrical equipment |
• | Close to solenoids, motors, and relays |
⇒ | Correct any wire harness routing or component placement conditions, if it is determined to be a possible source of electrical interference. |
⇒ | If greater than the specified value, test the camshaft position signal circuit for an open/high resistance. |
⇒ | If the sensor is loose, inspect the sensor and the O-ring for damage, replace as necessary. |
• | Engine oil for debris and contamination |
• | Crankshaft reluctor wheel for damage |
• | The timing chain, tensioner, and sprockets for wear or damage |
⇒ | If debris is found in the engine oil, inspect the internal engine components to determine the cause. Repair or replace any worn or damaged components. |
⇒ | If the Duty Cycle does not increment, replace the CMP sensor. |
Perform the Diagnostic Repair Verification after completing the diagnostic procedure.
