What is the code for the camshaft position sensor?
FYI, the code it gave was P0345 incase anyone is wondering. helpful? That is great info. Thanks for the update and glad you are all set for your vacation. I figured that was the code you were getting.
Why does my car not start when I change the cam sensor?
Most of the time, this code comes up when there is a difference between the crank and cam sensors. The most common failure is the crankshaft position sensor. These fail much more frequently than the cam sensor and will cause a no start. It can also occur if the timing belt broke or jumped a tooth.
How to check the crankshaft and camshaft position?
Attach the black multimeter cable to battery ground. Cranking the engine, you should see the voltage reading on the meter fluctuate. Note that a damaged or improperly aligned tone ring will also prevent proper sensor operation. When in doubt, remove the cam gear and the crankshaft harmonic balancer and inspect the tone rings.
Where is the CMP sensor on a camshaft?
Disconnect the intake CMP sensor electrical connector and remove the retainer and the CMP sensor. Torque : 89 lb. In (10 Nm) Position aside the radio ignition interference capacitor. Disconnect the exhaust CMP sensor electrical connector and remove the retainer and the CMP sensor.
Why do I need to change the camshaft position sensor?
The problem with changing out the camshaft position sensor is that sometimes the issue is actually due to the sensor wiring harness; which might be the reason this OBD-II error code was triggered initially. The P-0340 trouble code indicates that the signal to and from the camshaft position sensor and the PCM is broken.

How does the crankshaft position sensor ( CKP ) work?
The crankshaft position sensor (CKP) relays crankshaft position and engine RPM to the PCM, or ignition module. This information is used but the PCM to control ignition timing, and in some applications, it is also used to control fuel injection.
