P0346 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 2) - General Information

Component Location





General Description

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a sensor that detects the compression TDC of the NO. 1 cylinder. The CMPS consists of a hall type sensor and a target on the end of the camshaft. When the target triggers the sensor, the sensor voltage is 5V. If not, the sensor voltage is 0V. These CMPS signal is sent to the PCM and the PCM uses the CMPS signal for synchronizing the sequential fuel injectors.

DTC Description

Checking oputput signals from CMP during engine running, if the expected number of cam tooth count is not observed, PCM sets P0346.
