DTC P0340: CMP Sensor No Signal

NOTE: Before you troubleshoot, record all freeze data and any on-board snapshot, and review the general troubleshooting information (see GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION ).

Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Clear the DTC with the HDS.
Start the engine.
Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0340 indicated?

YES - Go to step 5.

NO - Intermittent failure, the system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CMP sensor and the PCM
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect the CMP sensor 3P connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Measure voltage between CMP sensor 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

Is there continuity?

YES - Repair short in the wire between the PCM (B8) and the CMP sensor, then go to step 18.

NO - Go to step 26.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Replace the CMP sensor (see CMP SENSOR REPLACEMENT ).
Reconnect all connectors.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Reset the PCM with the HDS.
Clear the CKP pattern with the HDS.
Do the PCM idle learn procedure (see PCM IDLE LEARN PROCEDURE ).
Do the CKP pattern learn procedure (see CRANK (CKP) PATTERN CLEAR/CRANK (CKP) PATTERN LEARN ).
Start the engine.
Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0340 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CMP sensor and the PCM, then go to step 1.

NO - Troubleshooting is complete. If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting
Reconnect all connectors.
Update the PCM if it does not have the latest software (see UPDATING THE PCM ), or substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ).
Check for Temporary DTCs or DTCs with the HDS.
Is DTC P0340 indicated?

YES - Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CMP sensor and the PCM. If the PCM was updated, substitute a known-good PCM (see SUBSTITUTING THE PCM ), then recheck. If the PCM was substituted, go to step 1.

NO - If the PCM was updated, troubleshooting is complete. If the PCM was substituted, replace the original PCM (see PCM REPLACEMENT ). If any other Temporary DTCs or DTCs are indicated, go to the indicated DTCs troubleshooting
