DTC P0340 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ºAº
CIRCUIT (BANK 1 OR SINGLE SENSOR)
DTC P0341 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR ºAº
CIRCUIT RANGE/PERFORMANCE (BANK 1
SINGLE SENSOR)
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
The camshaft position sensor (G2 signal) consists of a magnet, iron core and pickup coil.
The G2 signal rotor has 3 teeth on the outside and is mounted on the intake camshaft.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil changes,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate (crankshaft position sensor plate No. 1) has 34 teeth and is installed on the crankshaft.
The NE signal sensor generates 34 signals at every engine revolution. The ECM detects the crankshaft
angle and the engine revolution based on the NE signal, and the cylinder and the angle of the VVT based
on the combination of the G2 and NE signal.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:
Read freeze frame data using the hand±held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when
a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for determi\
ning whether the vehicle was running
or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ratio was lea\
n or rich, etc. at the time of the mal-
function.
1 INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR(RESISTANCE)
(a) Disconnect the C1 camshaft position sensor connector.
(b) Measure the resistance between the terminals of the camshaft position sensor.
Resistance:
835 to 1,400  at cold
1,060 to 1,645 at hot
NOTICE:
ºColdº and ºHotº shown above mean the temperature of
the coils themselves. ºColdº is from ±10
C (14
F) to 50
C
(122
F) and ºHotº is from 50

DTC P0302 CYLINDER 2 MISFIRE DETECTED
DTC P0303 CYLINDER 3 MISFIRE DETECTED
DTC P0304 CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE DETECTED
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Misfire: The ECM uses the crankshaft position sensor and camshaft position sensor to monitor changes in
the crankshaft rotation for each cylinder.
The ECM counts the number of times the engine speed change rate indicates that misfire has occurred. And
when the misfire rate equals to or exceeds the count of indicating that the engine condition has deteriorated,
the CHK ENG is illuminated.
If the misfire rate is high enough and the driving conditions will cause the catalyst to overheat, the CHK ENG
blinks when misfiring occurs.
HINT:

For any particular 200 revolutions of the engine, misfiring which would result in overheating of catalyst
is detected. This cause CHK ENG to blink (1 trip detection logic).

For any particular 1,000 revolutions of engine, misfiring which would result in a deterioration of emis-
sions. This illuminates CHK ENG (2 trip detection logic).

WIRING DIAGRAM
Refer to DTC P0200 on page 05±415 for the wiring diagram of the injector system.
Refer to DTC P0351 on page 05±439 for the wiring diagram of the ignition system.
CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN
(a)Connect the hand±held tester to the DLC3.
(b)Record the DTC and freeze frame data.
(c)Use the hand±held tester to set to the check (test) mode (See page 05±294).
(d) Read the value on the misfire counter for each cylinder when idling. If \
the value is displayed on the
misfire counter, skip the following procedure of confirmation driving.
(e) Drive the vehicle several times with the engine speed, load and its surr\
ounding range shown with EN- GINE SPD, CALC LOAD in the freeze frame data or MISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD in\
the DATA LIST.
If you have no hand±held tester, turn the ignition switch OFF after the symptom is simulated once. Then\
re-
peat the simulation process again.
HINT:
In order to memorize the DTC of misfire, it is necessary to drive around M\
ISFIRE RPM, MISFIRE LOAD for
the following period of time in the DATA LIST. Take care not to turn the ignition switch OFF. Turning the igni-
tion switch OFF switches the diagnosis system from check (test) mode to no\
rmal mode. So all DTCs, etc.,
will be erased.
Engine SpeedTime
Idling3 minutes and 30 seconds or more
1,000 rpm3 minutes or more
2,000 rpm1 minutes and 30 seconds or more
3,000 rpm1 minute or more
(f) Check whether there is misfire or not by monitoring the DTC and the freeze fr\
ame data, and then, re- cord them.
(g) Turn the ignition switch OFF and wait at least for 5 seconds.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTCs besides misfire are memorized simultaneously, first perform the troubleshooting for them.

Read freeze frame data using the hand±held tester. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions
when a malfunction is detected. When troubleshooting, it is useful for deter\
mining whether the vehicle
was running or stopped, the engine was warmed up or not, the air±fuel ra\
tio was lean or rich, etc. at
the time of the malfunction.

If the misfire does not occur when the vehicle is brought to the workshop,\
misfire can be confirmed by
reproducing the condition of the freeze frame data. Also, after finishing the repai\
r, confirm that there
is no misfire (See confirmation driving pattern).

When either of SHORT FT #1, LONG FT #1, SHORT FT #2 or LONG FT #2 in the freeze frame data
is over the range of 20 %, there is a possibility that the air±fuel ratio is inclining eit\
her to ºRICHº (±20
% or less) or ºLEANº (+20 % or more).

When COOLANT TEMP in the freeze frame data is less than 80
C (176
F), there is a possibility of
misfire only during warming up the engine.

If the misfire cannot be reproduced, the reason may be because of the dr\
iving the vehicle with lack
of fuel, the use of improper fuel, a stain on the ignition plug, etc.

Be sure to check the value on the misfire counter after the repair.
