Related Codes
No signal from the camshaft position sensor on bank 1. Needed for sequential fuel injection and ignition timing.
The crankshaft and intake camshaft positions are not synchronized on bank 1. This indicates a timing problem that can cause rough running or no-start conditions.
The ECM is not receiving a proper signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This sensor is critical for engine timing and fuel injection.
Frequently Asked Questions
- Can timing chain stretch cause P0341?
- Yes — a stretched chain shifts the cam signal relative to the crank, causing a performance code.
- How to tell sensor vs chain?
- Replace the sensor first (cheaper). If P0341 returns, check the timing chain.
