DTC P0340

- Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit

Diagnostic Fault Information

Circuit/System Description

The 4X camshaft position sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5 V reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an

output signal circuit. The camshaft position sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor

detects magnetic flux changes between the peaks and valleys of a 4-tooth reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft. As each reluctor wheel tooth

rotates past the camshaft position sensor, the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the sensor electronics to produce a digital output

pulse. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF DC voltage pulse of varying frequency, with 2 narrow, and 2 wide output pulses per camshaft

revolution that represent an image of the camshaft reluctor wheel. The frequency of the camshaft position sensor output depends on the velocity of

the camshaft. The ECM decodes the narrow and wide tooth pattern to identify camshaft position. This information is then used to sequence the

ignition timing and fuel injection events for the engine. The ECM also uses camshaft position sensor output information to determine the camshaft

relative position to the crankshaft, to control the camshaft position actuator if equipped, and for limp-home operation.

Conditions for Running the DTC

* The mass air flow (MAF) is greater than 3 grams per second.

* DTC P0101, P0102, P0103, P0641, or P0651 is not set.

* The engine is cranking or running.

* DTC P0340 runs continuously when the above conditions are met.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

Note: The ECM detects engine movement by sensing the airflow through the MAF sensor, when airflow is greater than 3 grams per second, or by

sensing crankshaft position sensor pulses.

* The ECM detects that the starter is commanded on and the engine has been cranking for more than 4 s without a camshaft position sensor

pulse.

* The ECM detects that the engine has started, but did not receive a camshaft position sensor pulse during the first engine revolution.
