General Description
Cam Shaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is hall sensor type. Sensing the teeth attach at the end of cam shaft, CMPS detects rotation of
Cam shaft. (1 signal per 1 rotation) As Cam shaft rotates once while Crank shaft does twice, CMPS reference point generates
once while CKPS' do twice. As this signal inputted to ECM, it distinguishes crank angle and the cylinder which requires fuel
injection in order to determine injection sequence and duration.
DTC Description
P0340 is set corresponding to the condition of ECM internal counter when CMPS signal does not generate while CKPS signal is
outputted. This code is due to the failure relevant to CMPS related circuit and sensor component.

Fig.1) This shows waveform of CKPS and CMPS simultaneously. The middle area indicates reference points of CKPS and
CMPS.
Injection sequence is determined based on Low and High signal of CMPS reference point as detecting cylinder position.

D 2.2 TCI-R > Engine Engine Control(CPF+) > P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor) > General Description
1. ECM recognizes High signal as Low signal when CMPS signal drops below 2.0V and Low signal as High signal when CMPS
signal rises above 3.8V.
2. V0 - the Minimum voltage of Low signal does not drop below 0.0V due to the hall sensor inside resistance. When the Minimum
voltage of Low signal is above 0.6V during signal waveform inspection, check excessive resistance inside of CMPS component
or in ground circuit.
