What does the p0340 code on a Mazda mean?
Sometimes and in some models, low battery voltage or a weak starter can trigger a Camshaft Position Sensor code. What does this mean? The cost of diagnosing the P0340 MAZDA code is 1.0 hour of labor. The auto repair labor rates vary widely across the country, and even within the same city.
What to do if your camshaft position sensor says p0340?
Visually inspect the camshaft position sensor connector in search of corroded or broken connectors. Make any other repairs (if other codes are present) to make sure that other codes are not sources of the trouble code P0340. Check your camshaft position sensor’s voltage, ground, and signal readings with a multimeter.
What causes a p0340 to set on a Mustang GT?
Ford Trucks / Mustang GT – An alternator phase problem, such as a blown diode or open coil, may cause so much electrical interference that the CMP signal gets distorted, causing a P0340 / P0345 DTC to set, among others, in spite of there being no actual problem with the CMP sensor or wiring.

Is the p0340 camshaft position sensor a scapegoat?
Probably coincidental, as the MAF CEL thing has been happening for years and never the P0340. I have heard from a few Protege people the P0340 labeled as a “scapegoat” code, meaning the car may trigger that code if something is up with any of the many systems affected by cam/crank position sensors.
Why is my DTC p0340 sensor not working?
Depending on year, make, and model, DTC P0340 or P0345 may have number of causes. Here are some of the most common. Faulty Sensor – If the sensor coil is open or shorted, then it will generate no signal.
Why is my Mazda 6 cranking but not starting?
There are a lot of issues that can cause your 6 to crank, but not start. The engine needs air, fuel, and a spark in order to run. It is highly likely that if the engine is cranking, but not starting that it has thrown an OBDII code. It is definitely worth it to use an OBDII scanner to check and see if the engine has thrown any trouble codes.
How to check the crank position sensor on a Mazda?
– check the wiring to the crank position sensor, and the sensor itself. Check for voltage and continuity on that sensor as well (need to dig up the ecu pins for it) Check www.onlinemazdaparts.com or if you race your mazda www.mazdamotorsports.com. Dealerships don’t stock either part.
