We are not responsible for any actions you take on your vehicle. If lower voltage reading is 0. As a result, it stretches beyond the point where the cam chain auto-tensioner can keep up. But before you go out and buy one, take a look the timing chain and tensioner. I own a 2003 Chevy Impala 3. Note: Remember to always turn these engines in the proper direction of rotation to prevent the timing chain from jumping.
Before you just jump right on a new sensor, make sure you can rule out the rest of the system, first. Sequential Shifter and Code P0341 questions and our answers. And threaten them with a poor survey so they can't feed their family that month. In this case, the customer was willing to make the investment in the vehicle, so we moved to the next step and started the repair. What does the code mean? If your spark plugs look good, problems with your ignition system can also preventing a spark.
How do you troubleshoot code P0341? A properly running engine is essentially the precise timing of gasoline-fueled explosions. Look for a broken wire or corrosion somewhere in the circuit. Repair as necessary, reconnect all components, and go to Step 11. A pick-up coil sensor generates an electric signal, while the Hall effect camshaft sensor needs a 5V reference voltage. Look up the other , please use the search box. It was cheaper to replace the engine.
This is accomplished through a reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft that passes by the cam sensor. The only way to test it and be sure of the result. Conclusion P0341 is a serious concern and should be addressed as soon as possible. If voltage reading jumps to battery voltage or goes to zero volts, locate and repair intermittent in wiring harness. A stretched timing chain can also cause the code P0341. So the computer is rightly concerned.
At this point, we contacted the customer to explain the situation and get approval for the timing chain job, should our findings come down to that. That system is very reliable, but a bad spark plug or spark plug wire is most likely the source of the code. Hondaguru462 answered about a year ago The grinding noise you hear during your initial start-up after the vehicle has sat over 8 hours is from the vtc actuator. Unfortunately, while looking for nesting materials and cleaning house, these little critters might find your wiring offensive or even tasty, resulting in open circuit problems. Never trust the jack alone to hold up the vehicle! If the spark plugs and wires haven't been replaced for a long time, this could easily cause this code.
Is resistance less than 5 ohms? Also, if the wiring harness has been moved closer to the spark plug wires, they can cause interference as well. Using an open-end wrench on the hex-shaped section of the cam, it will be easy to confirm the cam is locked to the gear. Is resistance less than 5 ohms? Enter the 5 character trouble codes in the search box and submit the search. Code P0341 We received a question from Juan Tamayo on the other day. All you need is a multimeter and this article will take you step by step thru' the whole process.
This one has been a buggarrrr!!! A jumped timing belt, faulty crankshaft position sensor signal or circuit, or engine misfire, may be the primary problem. This is accomplished through a reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft that passes by the cam sensor. Our problem was a stretched timing chain and after the chain and tensioner were replaced, the code cleared and all lights went off. This information is used by the Engine Control Module to control ignition and fuel injection. For this reason, I would stay away from the throttle blippers, and just use the clutch on downshifts or left foot brake and blip the throttle yourself. The long answer is yes too, but with some additional parts to make it work. I suggest you visit both the and websites and do some more investigation.
The engine camshaft rotation is synchronised with the crankshaft. It is worth looking at it to see if it has developed a short, or to see if the harness connector is loose or damaged. Note: Be extra careful when applying the sealer and installing the front cover, making sure to reference your service information. Turn the crankshaft in a clockwise direction. I got a check engine light P0341 that i need to clear. Its on a 1998 tahoe with a 5.
If the reluctor ring is rubbing on the sensor, the signal will be distorted. These can range from a faulty spark plug lead, shorted kill switch or flywheel key damage. The way this article is presented, is that you jump right into the test. I seem to recall that a Subaru with right and left timing belts was very particular about the signals being synced. If I understand this code correctly it is indication that my problem is either the crank sensor or the cam sensor. You can take the load off in two ways, push the clutch in, or either let off the or goose the throttle depending on whether you are accelerating or decelerating. Not sure, but what else could it be? There are different way to check if the timing chain is stretched: for example, Honda has a special tool; in some other cars, the signal from the camshaft position sensor must be compared on the oscilloscope to the crankshaft position sensor signal.
Your camshaft sensor does exactly what its name implies, gives information to the engine computer about where the camshaft is in its rotation. If you have any suggestions for improving this article, please feel free to leave a comment below. It was obvious engine has been d. This was easily accomplished using our power probe to provide the power and ground. While revs drop instantly when a rev cut happens, blipping the throttle usually takes more time.
