P0341

Wiring Diagram:

Circuit Description
This DTC causes the cam and crank relationship to be skewed and the cam pulses will read in a haphazard ratio to the crank pulses. This fault is not a solid or consistent failure. The fault may not act the same way twice. This DTC is a type B DTC.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

^ The engine running
^ The cam sensor reference pulse is not detected at the correct interval

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
The VCM will turn on the Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) after 2 consecutive test failures.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
The VCM turns the MIL off after 3 consecutive driving trips without a fault condition present. A history DTC will clear if no fault conditions have been detected for 40 warm-up cycles (coolant temperature has risen 40°F from the start-up coolant temperature and the engine coolant temperature exceeds 160°F during that same ignition cycle) or the scan tool clearing feature has been used.

Diagnostic Aids
A poor connection, rubbed through wire insulation, or a wire that is broken inside the insulation may cause an intermittent.

Thoroughly check any circuitry, that is suspected as causing the intermittent complaint, for the following conditions:

^ Backed out terminals.
^ Improper mating.
^ Broken locks.
^ Improperly formed or damaged terminals.
^ Poor terminal to wiring connections.
^ Physical damage to the wiring harness. Refer to Intermittents. - Intermittent Malfunctions

Test Description
