Land Rover P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor

Description

OBD-II Trouble Code Description for P0341 Land Rover

Camshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range/Performance

What does this mean?

OBD2 Code P0341 Land Rover definition:
This P0341 Land Rover code basically means that the powertrain control module (PCM) detected a problem with the camshaft signal. The camshaft position sensor (CPS) sends a specific signal to the PCM for Top Dead Center on the compression stroke as well as signals indicating the position of the cam sensor. This is accomplished through a reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft that passes by the cam sensor. Any time that the signal to the PCM is inconsistent with what the signal should be, this code is set. NOTE: this code can also be set by extended cranking periods.

Symptoms

Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0341 Land Rover
The car will likely run with this code set, as it is often intermittent and also because the PCM can often operate the vehicle in “limp-in/limp-home” mode even with a cam sensor signal problem. There may be no noticeable symptoms other than: Poor fuel economy (if engine runs) Possible no start condition

Causes

Possible causes of OBD code P0341 Land Rover
A code P0341 Land Rover may mean that one or more of the following has happened: Cam sensor wiring routed too close to spark plug wiring (causing interference) Poor wiring connection at cam sensor Poor wiring connection at PCM Bad cam sensor Damaged reluctor wheel

Possible Solutions

Often relacing the sensor fixes this code, but not necessarily. Therefore it’s important to check the following: Check that the wiring isn’t routed too close to any secondary ignition components (coil, spark plug wires, etc.) Visually inspect the wiring at the sensor for any burn marks, discoloration indicative of melting or chafing Visually inspect the cam sensor for damage Visually inspect the reluctor wheel through the cam sensor port (if possible) for any missing teeth or any damage If reluctor isn’t visible from outside the engine, visual test can only be done by removing cam shaft or intake manifold (depending on engine design) If all checks out okay, then replace the sensor.
