DTC P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit
Malfunction
CIRCUIT DESCRIPTION
Camshaft position sensor (G signal) consist of signal plate and pickup coil.
The G signal plate has one tooth on its outer circumference and is mounted on the exhaust camshaft.
When the camshafts rotate, the protrusion on the signal plate and the air gap on the pickup coil change,
causing fluctuations in the magnetic field and generating an electromotive force in the pickup coil.
The NE signal plate has 34 teeth and is mounted on the crankshaft. The NE signal sensor generates 34
signals for every engine revolution. The ECM detects the standard crankshaft angle based on the G signals
and the actual crankshaft angle and the engine speed by the NE signals.

SYSTEM CHECK DRIVING PATTERN
(a) Connect the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester to the DLC3.
(b) Start the engine and warm it up with all accessories switched OFF.
(c) Run the vehicle at 70 - 90 km/h (43 - 56 mph) for 3 minutes or more.
(d) Idle the engine for about 2 minutes.
(e) Stop at safe place and turn the ignition switch OFF.
(f) Start the engine and do steps (c) and (d) again.
(g) Check the READINESS TESTS mode on the OBD II scan tool or TOYOTA hand-held tester. If COMPL
is displayed and the MIL does not light up, the system is normal. If INCMPL is displayed and the MIL
does not light up, run the vehicle again and check it.
HINT:
INCMPL is displayed when either condition (h) or (i) exists.
(h) The system check is incomplete.
(i) There is a malfunction in the system.
If there is a malfunction in the system, the MIL will light up after steps (b) to (f) above are done.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
HINT:

If DTC P0105 and/or P0106 and P0401 are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting of DTC
ºP0105º first.

If DTC P0401 and P0402 are output simultaneously, perform troubleshooting of DTC P0402 first.
