Code P0341 Description

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 less than 4 pulses from the Camshaft Position Sensor during 2 engine revolutions.
