Title: 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: DESCRIPTION (2008 Sequoia)

DTC

P1340

Camshaft Position Sensor "A" (Bank 1 Sensor 2)

DTC

P1342

Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Low Input (MRE)

DTC

P1343

Camshaft Position Sensor "A" High Input (MRE)

DESCRIPTION

The camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE element, which affects the magnet. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, and uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, which it sends to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection time and injection timing.

DTC No.

DTC Detection Condition

Trouble Area

P1340

No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM during cranking (2 trip detection logic)

  • Open or short in camshaft position sensor circuit
  • Camshaft position sensor
  • Camshaft timing pulley LH
  • ECM

No camshaft position sensor signal to ECM with engine speed 600 rpm or more

(1 trip detection logic)

P1342

Output voltage of camshaft position sensor less than 0.3 V for 4 seconds

(1 trip detection logic)

P1343

Output voltage of camshaft position sensor more than 4.7 V for 4 seconds

(1 trip detection logic)

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If there is no signal from the camshaft position sensor even though the engine is turning, or if the rotation of the camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor. When the sensor output voltage remains less than 0.3 V, or more than 4.7 V for more than 5 seconds, the ECM sets a DTC.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:

Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. Freeze frame data records the engine conditions when malfunctions are detected. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was running or stopped, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.

PROCEDURE

1.

INSPECT CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (SENSOR POWER SOURCE)



(a) Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Voltage:

Tester Connection

Switch Condition

Specified Condition

D59-3 (VC) - Body ground

Ignition switch ON

4.5 to 5.0 V

OK

2.

CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (ECM - CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)



(a) Disconnect the camshaft position sensor connector.

(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.

(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.

Standard Resistance:

Tester Connection

Condition

Specified Condition

D59-2 (G2) - D56-90 (G2)

3.

INSPECT SENSOR INSTALLATION



(a) Check the camshaft position sensor installation.

OK:

The camshaft position sensor is installed properly.

OK

4.

INSPECT CAMSHAFT TIMING PULLEY LH (SIGNAL PLATE TEETH)

(a) Check the teeth of the signal plate.

OK:

Sensor plate teeth do not have any cracks or deformation.

OK

5.

REPLACE CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR

(a) Replace the camshaft position sensor 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR: REMOVAL (2008 Sequoia) .

6.

CONFIRM WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream ON.

(d) Clear DTCs 2UZ-FE ENGINE CONTROL: SFI SYSTEM: DTC CHECK / CLEAR (2008 Sequoia) .

(e) Start the engine.
