DTC    P0340/12    Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

for Preparation Click here


DESCRIPTION

Camshaft position sensor (G signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The G signal plate has 5 teeth on its outer circumference and is installed the pump drive shaft pulley. When the pump drive shaft pulley rotates, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change, causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crank angle sensor plate. The NE signal sensor generates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signal and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signal.

DTC No.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

NOTICE:
If the ECM is replaced, the new ECM needs initialization (Click here).

1.INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)
A064984E07

  1. Disconnect the C1 sensor connector.



    G034661E04

  1. Measure the resistance of the position sensor.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		835 to 1,400 Ω at cold
    1 - 2
    		1,060 to 1,645 Ω at hot

    NOTICE:
    In the chart above, the terms "cold" and "hot" refer to the temperature of the coils. "Cold" means approximately -10 to 50°C (14 to 122°F). "Hot" means approximately 50 to 100°C (122 to 212°F).

    HINT:
    While cranking or idling the engine, check the waveform of the ECM connectors using an oscilloscope.

    Reference:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    E7-23 (G+) - E7-31 (G-)
    E8-27 (NE+) - E8-34 (NE-)
    		Correct waveform is as shown

    Tool Setting
    		Condition
    5 V/DIV., 20 msec./DIV.
    		Idling with warm engine

    HINT:
    The waveform varies depending on the engine speed.

2.CHECK WIRE HARNESS (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)
A099853E02

  1. Disconnect the C1 sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the E7 ECM connector.

  1. Measure the resistance of the wire harness side connectors.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    C1-1 - E7-23 (G+)
    		Below 1 Ω
    C1-2 - E7-31 (G-)
    		Below 1 Ω
    C1-1 or E7-23 (G+) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
    C1-2 or E7-31 (G-) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher



NG
REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS AND CONNECTOR
OK


3.CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)
BR03795E25

  1. Check the sensor installation.

    OK:
    Sensor is installed correctly.



NG
SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR
OK


4.CHECK PUMP DRIVE SHAFT PULLEY

  1. Check the teeth of the pump drive shaft pulley.

    OK:
    Pulley's teeth do not have any cracks or deformation.



NG
REPLACE PUMP DRIVE SHAFT PULLEY
OK
