Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor -G40- oily or dirty
on the inside because of leaking seal on the cylinder
head.

- Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor -G40- and check for
contamination. If it is oily, replace seal on cylinder head

Malfunction cause found: Yes
No

- Erase DTC memory, test drive and after test drive, check
DTC memory again

Engine Control Module (ECM) -J192- faulty

- Replace and code engine control module page 01

Notes:

The malfunction "P1340 / 17748" is set as soon as the crankshaft position sensor signal is always "high" at an engine
speed between 50 RPM and 4000 RPM and with more than 20 crankshaft sensor signals recognized.
