P0341 Camshaft sensor signal is faulty

By: · Updated:

P0341 means: Camshaft sensor signal is faulty. The camshaft sensor tells the engine computer which stroke each cylinder is on. Drive gently and have the car checked soon. The repair usually costs about €60–300 in Estonia. The most common cause: camshaft sensor has failed. Other possible causes: connector or wire, stretched timing chain.

What it means

The camshaft sensor tells the engine computer which stroke each cylinder is on. When it fails, the engine may be hard to start. The signal doesn't match the crankshaft sensor. It may be the sensor, but also a stretched timing chain.

What could be wrong

  1. 1Camshaft sensor has failed
  2. 2Connector or wire
  3. 3Stretched timing chain
  4. 4Sensor wheel is damaged

What you can check yourself

Check the sensor connector. If the engine takes long to start, don't ignore it. You can check the simple things yourself, but the repair is best done in a workshop.

How we fix it

  1. We look at the camshaft and crankshaft signals together
  2. We check the wiring
  3. We replace the sensor
