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


DESCRIPTION

The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor consists of a magnet and an iron core which is wrapped with copper wire, and is installed onto the cylinder head. When the camshaft rotates, each of 3 teeth on the camshaft passes through the CMP sensor. This activates the internal magnet in the sensor, generating a voltage in the copper wire. The camshaft rotation is synchronized with the crankshaft rotation. When the crankshaft turns twice, the voltage is generated 3 times in the CMP sensor. The generated voltage in the sensor acts as a signal, allowing the ECM to locate the camshaft position. This signal is then used to control ignition timing, fuel injection timing, and the VVT system.

DTC No.
DTC Detection Condition
Trouble Area
P0340
Case 1
  1. No Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor signal to ECM while cranking (2 trip detection logic)
Case 2
  1. Camshaft/Crankshaft misalignment detected at engine speed of 600 rpm or more (1 trip detection logic)
  1. Open or short in CMP sensor circuit
  2. CMP sensor
  3. Camshaft
  4. Jumped tooth of timing chain
  5. ECM
HINT:
DTC P0340 indicates a malfunction relating to the CMP sensor (+) circuit (the wire harness between the ECM and CMP sensor, and the CMP sensor itself).
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope

HINT:
  1. The correct waveform is as shown in the illustration.
  2. G2+ stands for the CMP sensor signal, and NE+ stands for the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor signal.
  3. Grounding failure of the shielded wire may cause noise in waveforms.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air-fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
1.INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (RESISTANCE)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.2Az-Fe Engine Control System.Sfi System. Dtc P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 Or Single Sensor)

  1. Disconnect the C31 Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor connector.

  1. Measure the resistance between terminals 1 and 2.

    Standard resistance:
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    1 - 2
    		950 to 1,250 Ω

  1. Reconnect the CMP sensor connector.

REPLACE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR
OK


2.CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR - ECM)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.2Az-Fe Engine Control System.Sfi System. Dtc P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 Or Single Sensor)

  1. Disconnect the C31 CMP sensor connector.

  1. Disconnect the C24 ECM connector.

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

    Standard resistance (Check for open):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    G2+ (C31-1) - G2+ (C24-99)
    		Below 1 Ω
    G2- (C31-2) - G2- (C24-98)
    Standard resistance (Check for short):
    Tester Connection
    		Specified Condition
    G2+ (C31-1) or G2+ (C24-99) - Body ground
    		10 kΩ or higher
    G2- (C31-2) or G2- (C24-98) - Body ground

  1. Reconnect the ECM connector.

  1. Reconnect the CMP sensor connector.

REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR
OK


3.CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.2Az-Fe Engine Control System.Sfi System. Dtc P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 Or Single Sensor)

  1. Check the CMP sensor installation condition.

    OK:
    Sensor is installed correctly.


NG
SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR
OK


4.CHECK VALVE TIMING


    Camry. Acv40 Gsv40.2Az-Fe Engine Control System.Sfi System. Dtc P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 Or Single Sensor)

  1. Remove the cylinder head cover.

  1. Turn the crankshaft pulley, and align its groove with the timing mark "0" on the timing chain cover.

  1. Check that the timing marks on the camshaft timing sprocket and camshaft timing gear are facing upward as shown in the illustration.

    1. If not, turn the crankshaft 1 revolution (360°), then align the marks as above.
    OK:
    Timing marks on camshaft timing gears are aligned as shown in the illustration.

  1. Reinstall the cylinder head cover.



NG
ADJUST VALVE TIMING
OK


5.CHECK CAMSHAFT

  1. Check the teeth of the camshaft.

    OK:
    Camshaft teeth do not have any cracks or deformation.


NG
REPLACE CAMSHAFT
OK


6.REPLACE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

7.CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position and turn the tester on.

  1. Clear the DTCs (CAMRY_ACV40 RM000000PDK0D5X.html).

  1. Start the engine.

  1. Select the following menu items: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTCs.
