po340 ???

gary t · 6th July 2013, 18:13

Been playing with my tablet and torque app and found this fault code p0340 camshaft sensor ?. Looked code up on here and it says its a crankshaft sensor fault code ???. Check engine light is not on. So cleared the code off and went for a drive checked it when i got home and it had not come back. Been out again got home and checked it again and yep it was back. Still no check engine light ? Any ideas ?? theres a tread somewere on here about the crank-sensor wires getting burnt by the heat off the turbo but cant find it now !!!

P0340 fault is "camshaft sensor - no signal". I don't know enough about this diagnostic to help, but it's definitely not a crankshaft sensor fault. It suggests a possible intermittent open circuit fault with the sensor itself or an intermittent wiring / connector fault. I haven't enough experience of the practical side of these failures to offer any advice. Good luck though!

hi phil were did you get that from m8 ? camshaft faults are p1340. and p0340 is showing up as a wiring fault or circuit fault with the crankshaft sensor i getting well in a muddle with it all getting near the reach for the big hammer time

The Gendan (http://www.gendan.co.uk) code bank says this for P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

DONT MIND ME I THINK I GOT SUNSTROKE. IT IS A CAMSHAFT FAULT CODE. I HAVE NO IDEA WERE I GOT CRANKSHAFT FROM. ne'way i have cleaned the connector for the camshaft sensor and that seems to have sorted it for now. sorry must have had a bit to-much sun.

Glad you've got the fault's identity sorted, and hope the same will be true of the fault itself. I read the code from the Siemens Software Specification for the V6, which shares the diagnostic software definitions with the K4.
