The car P0340 fault code is the camshaft position (CMP) sensor A circuit fault. The camshaft is used to control the opening and closing of the valve. The camshaft is located in the variable valve timing system. The electronic camshaft will change the camshaft adjuster according to the command of the engine control module, control the oil pressure and adjust the camshaft angle. 2. Adjust the camshaft angle to ensure the best opening or closing time of the valve. The function of the camshaft position sensor is to transmit the camshaft position to the electronic control unit in the form of a voltage signal. If the electronic control unit does not detect the signal within the set time, the fault code will appear. 3. The reasons for the fault code include the camshaft position sensor circuit fault or the electronic control module fault, etc. After repairing the fault, a professional instrument is needed to clear the fault code. When clearing the fault code, strictly follow the fault code clearing method specified by the specific model. The method of clearing the fault code for each car is different. If the fault code is not cleared according to the specified method, it will cause other faults in the car.
