Camshaft Sensor Bank 1 Circuit Malfunction

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.

Also my car has been backfiring when i try to start it the first time could this be causing that. The code is p0340 and then it says camshaft position sensor a bank 1 circuit malfunction. P0010 is a diagnostic trouble code dtc for a camshaft position actuator circuit bank 1. The camshaft sensor sends a signal to the power control module pcm to communicate this information.

Since the circuit is a concern the problem could be in any component of the circuit such as pcm wiring and sensor itself. Transmission range sensor circuit malfunction. This code could also be set as the result of a performance failure in the system. 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.

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. Camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction. Sensor a indicates that the malfunction is occurring with the camshaft position sensor circuit that pertains to the intake camshaft.

Relates to a inlet camshaft position where the cam timing is over advanced on bank 1. Sensor b codes pertain to the exhaust camshaft. P0340 meaning the camshaft position sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning. Relates to the a inlet cam timing being over retarded on bank 1.

Have found out this part does not exist for my car. Relates to a circuit failure in the a inlet camshaft actuator on bank 2. 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. What the p0340 code means.

Pulled codes and got p0340 for camshaft position sensor circuit bank 1. 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. This can happen for multiple reasons and a mechanic needs to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in your situation. Dealer does not have it listed at all.

2005 pontiac sunfire 2. Relates to a circuit failure in the b exhaust camshaft actuator on bank 2.
