On some Cadillac models, the camshaft position sensor is part Ignition Control Module (ICM) (aka igniter)
To diagnose the P0340 Cadillac code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.
The Camshaft Position Sensor detects magnetic flux changes between the four narrow and wide tooth slots on the reluctor wheel. The Camshaft Position Sensor provides a digital ON/OFF DC voltage of varying frequency for each camshaft revolution. The Engine Control Module (ECM) will recognize the narrow and wide tooth patterns to identify the camshaft position, or which cylinder is in compression, and which is in the exhaust. The information is then used to determine the correct time and sequence for fuel injection and ignition spark events.
The ECM also has a dedicated replicated Camshaft Position Sensor signal output circuit that may be used as an input signal to other modules for monitoring engine RPM.
The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will be set when the ECM does not receive a signal from the Camshaft Position Sensor during 200 engine revolutions.
