Diagnosis Procedure

  1. CHECK STARTING SYSTEM

    Turn ignition switch to START position.

    Does the engine turn over? Does the starter motor operate? 

    YES: GO TO 2.

    NO: Check starting system. (Refer to "WORK FLOW ".)

  2. CHECK CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-I
    1. Disconnect camshaft position (CMP) sensor harness connector.
    2. Turn ignition switch ON.
    3. Check the voltage between CMP sensor harness connector and ground.

    P0345 2 F83 1

    Is the inspection result normal? 

    YES: GO TO  8.

    NO-1: P0340: GO TO 3.

    NO-2: P0345: Repair open circuit, short to ground or short to power in harness or connectors.

  3. CHECK CMP SENSOR POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT-II
    1. Turn ignition switch OFF.
    2. Disconnect ECM harness connector.
    3. Check the continuity between CMP sensor harness connector and ECM harness connector.
