DTC P0340, P0344: CMP Sensor A No Signal (2002-2004 models); CMP Sensor A Circuit Intermittent Interruption (2002-2004 models)

Reset the ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM RESET (2002-2004 MODELS) ).
Start the engine.
Is DTC P0340 and/or P0344 indicated?
1. YES - Go to step 3.
2. NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at CMP sensor A and the ECM/PCM.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect CMP sensor A 3P connector.
Turn the ignition switch ON (II).
Measure voltage between CMP sensor A 3P connector terminal No. 3 and body ground.

Is there battery voltage?
1. YES - Go to step 7.
2. NO - Check the No. 4 ACG (10 A) fuse in the underdash fuse/relay box. If the fuse is OK, repair open in the wire between CMP sensor A and the No. 4 ACG (10 A) fuse.
Measure voltage between CMP sensor A 3P connector terminal No. 1 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?
1. YES - Go to step 8.
2. NO - Go to step 10.
Measure voltage between CMP sensor A 3P connector terminals No. 2 and No. 3.

Is there battery voltage?
1. YES - Go to step 9.
2. NO - Repair open in the wire between CMP sensor A and G 101.
Substitute a known-good CMP sensor A and recheck.
Is DTC P0340 and/or P0344 indicated?
1. YES - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see HOW TO UPDATE THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ).
2. NO - Replace original CMP sensor A (see CMP SENSOR A REPLACEMENT ).
Measure voltage between ECM/PCM connector terminal A25 and body ground.

Is there about 5 V?
1. YES - Repair open in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A25) and CMP sensor A.
2. NO - Go to step 11.
Turn the ignition switch OFF.
Disconnect ECM/PCM connector A (31P).
Check for continuity between ECM/PCM connector terminal A25 and body ground.

Is there continuity?
1. YES - Repair short in the wire between the ECM/PCM (A25) and CMP sensor A.
2. NO - Update the ECM/PCM if it does not have the latest software, or substitute a known-good ECM/PCM (see HOW TO UPDATE THE ECM/PCM ), then recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away with a known-good ECM/PCM, replace the original ECM/PCM (see ECM/PCM REPLACEMENT ).
