DTC P0340 CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR (CMPS) (PHASE) - Component Description

EF & EC-7181prose procedure
CG10, CGA3

Component Description

The camshaft position sensor senses the protrusion provided with exhaust valve cam sprocket to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor senses the piston position.
The sensor consists of a permanent magnet, core and coil.
When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change.
The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change.
Due to the changing magnetic field, the voltage from the sensor changes.
