What causes code po340?

What Does P0340 Mean? The camshaft position sensor located in the internal combustion engine monitors the position and rotational speed of the camshaft. When the trouble code P0340 is set, the ignition spark and fuel injector timing fails due to the engine not knowing when to fire these components.

What can cause a camshaft position sensor to go bad?

A camshaft position sensor can fail due to an accident. In the event of a failure, it may be necessary to replace the engine control module and associated wiring. Circumstances like an oil leak due to a bad head gasket or defective or loose oil cap can interrupt the sensor’s signal from the wires.
