P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1)
What does P0341 mean?
P0341 — Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1) (bank 1). This is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code a scanner retrieves when your vehicle's computer detects camshaft position sensor a circuit range/performance (bank 1) on bank 1. The level of risk depends on how the vehicle is currently running and how long you've been driving with the light on.
Common causes of P0341
- Weak or failing camshaft position sensor
- Stretched timing chain or worn tensioner
- Failing variable valve timing (VVT) actuator
- Oil pressure issues starving the VVT system
- Damaged reluctor or sensor gap
How to fix P0341
- Read freeze frame and check camshaft vs crankshaft correlation on a scan tool
- Inspect oil level and condition, since low oil affects VVT
- Check timing chain and tensioner condition
- Test the VVT actuator and oil control solenoid
- Verify the CMP sensor signal and targeting
