P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)
Engine timing
P0341 means the camshaft position sensor's signal doesn't line up with the crankshaft signal, from a sensor, wiring or timing problem.
The camshaft position sensor's signal is there but doesn't match what the engine computer expects compared with the crankshaft signal.
Usually drivable if it runs normally, but it may be hard to start or run poorly. Get it fixed soon.
Common causes
- A failing camshaft position sensor
- Wiring interference or a poor connection
- A stretched timing chain or belt that jumped a tooth
- A low battery or weak starter (slow cranking)
Symptoms
- Long cranking before starting
- Rough running, stalling
- Check-engine light
What to check first
- Check the battery and cranking speed.
- Inspect the cam sensor's connector and wiring.
- Check for timing-related codes too; if present, suspect the chain or belt.
- Replace the sensor if wiring and timing check out.
