DTC P0345 [AJ] DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSES

DTC P0345 CMP sensor (LH) circuit malfunction
DETECTION CONDITION 
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the CMP sensor (LH) when the engine is running. If the PCM does not receive the input voltage from the CMP sensor (LH) when the PCM receives the input signal from the CKP sensor, the PCM determines that the CMP circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note 
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • MIL illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
POSSIBLE CAUSE 
  • CMP sensor (LH) malfunction
  • Connector or terminal malfunction
  • CMP sensor (LH) is dirty
  • CMP sensor (LH) malfunction
  • Short to ground circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AA
  • Short to ground circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal B and PCM terminal 2AB
  • Short to power circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AA
  • Short to power circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal B and PCM terminal 2AB
  • Short each harness CMP sensor (LH) terminal A and B
  • Open circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal A and PCM terminal 2AA
  • Open circuit between CMP sensor (LH) terminal B and PCM terminal 2AB
  • Timing chain or improper valve timing
  • Loose timing chain or improper valve timing
  • Loose camshaft sprocket lock bolt
