P0123 (Flash Code 21): Throttle Position Sensor High Input
P0341(Flash Code 41): Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
P0342 (Flash Code 41): Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit No Signal
An open circuit in the sensor power supply circuit between the ECM terminal B27 and splice will cause one or more of
following DTCs to be set:
P0122 (Flash Code 21): Throttle Position Sensor Low Input
P0342 (Flash Code 41): Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit No Signal
A short to ground circuit in the sensor power supply circuit between the ECM terminal B27 and splice will cause one

3.5L ENGINE DRIVEABILITY AND EMISSIONS 6E-235
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The CKP reference signal is produced by the crankshaft
position (CKP) sensor. During one crankshaft
revolution, crankshaft pulses will be produced. The
Engine Control Module (ECM) uses the CKP reference
signal to calculate engine RPM and crankshaft position.
The ECM constantly monitors the number of pulses on
the CKP reference circuit and compares them to the
number of camshaft position (CMP) signal pulses being
received. If the ECM receives an incorrect number o
f
pulses on the CKP reference circuit, DTC P0336 will
set.
DIAGNOSTIC AIDS
An intermittent may be caused by a poor connection,
rubbed–through wire insulation or a wire broken inside
the insulation. Check for:
Poor connection –Inspect the ECM harness and
connectors for improper mating, broken locks,
improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poo
r
terminal-to-wire connection.
Damaged harness – Inspect the wiring harness fo
r
damage.
Reviewing the Failure Records vehicle mileage since
the diagnostic test last failed may help determine ho
w
often the condition that caused the DTC to be set
occurs. This may assist in diagnosing the condition.
