Monitored item Unit Description Remarks
ENG SPEED rpm • Indicates the engine speed computed from the signal
of the crankshaft position sensor (POS) and camshaft
position sensor (PHASE). • Accuracy becomes poor if engine
speed drops below the idle rpm.
• If the signal is interrupted while the engine is running, an abnormal value
may be indicated.
MAS A/F SE-B1 V • The signal voltage of the mass air flow sensor is dis-
played. • When the engine is stopped, a certain
value is indicated.
• When engine is running specification range is indicated in “SPEC”.
B/FUEL SCHDL ms • “Base fuel schedule” indicates the fuel injection pulse
width programmed into ECM, prior to any learned on
board correction. • When engine is running specification
range is indicated in “SPEC”.
A/F ALPHA-B1 % • The mean value of the air-fuel ratio feedback correc-
tion factor per cycle is indicated. • When the engine is stopped, a certain
value is indicated.
• This data also includes the data for
the air-fuel ratio learning control.
• When engine is running specification range is indicated in “SPEC”.
COOLAN TEMP/S °C or °F • The engine coolant temperature (determined by the
signal voltage of the engine coolant temperature sen-
sor) is displayed. • When the engine coolant temperature
sensor is open or short-circuited,
ECM enters fail-safe mode. The en-
gine coolant temperature determined
by the ECM is displayed.
A/F SEN1 (B1) V • The A/F signal computed from the input signal of the
air fuel ratio (A/F) se nsor 1 is displayed.

P0340 CMP SENSOR (PHASE)
P0340 CMP SENSOR (PHASE)
Description INFOID:0000000004780162
The camshaft position sensor (P HASE) senses the retraction of
camshaft (INT) to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft position
sensor (PHASE) senses the piston position.
When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoper-
ative, the camshaft position sensor (PHASE) provides various con-
trols of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification
signals.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
When engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause
the gap with the sensor to change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to
change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
ECM receives the signals as shown in the figure.

NOTE:
If DTC P0340 is displayed with DTC P0643, first pe rform the trouble diagnosis for DTC P0643. Refer to
EC-358, " DTC Logic " .
DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE 1.
PRECONDITIONING
If DTC Confirmation Procedure has been previously conduc ted, always turn ignition switch OFF and wait at
least 10 seconds before conducting the next test.
TESTING CONDITION:
Before performing the following procedure, confirm that battery voltage is more than 10.5 V with igni-
tion switch ON.
>> GO TO 2. 2.
PERFORM DTC CONFIRMATION PROCEDURE-I
1. Start engine and let it idle for at least 5 seconds. If engine does not start, crank engine for at least 2 seconds.
2. Check 1st trip DTC. PBIA9875J
