DR1 DTC P0340: CHECK IF ENGINE WILL START

Will the engine start?
Yes No
GO to DR2 . DTC P0340 is not the cause of the No Start. GO to Section 3 to diagnose the No Start symptom.
 

DR2 CLEAR AND ATTEMPT TO RE-GENERATE DTC P0340

Is DTC P0340 present?
Yes No
For VR type CMP:

KEY OFF. GO to DR5

For Hall Effect type CMP:

KEY OFF. GO to DR3
The fault that produced DTC P0340 is intermittent. GO to Pinpoint Test Step Z1 .
 

DR3 CHECK VPWR VOLTAGE TO CMP SENSOR

Is voltage greater than 10.5 volts?
Yes No
KEY OFF. GO to DR4 . REPAIR open circuit.
 

DR4 CHECK PWR GND TO CMP SENSOR

Is resistance less than 5.0 ohms?
Yes No
GO to DR5 . REPAIR open circuit.
 

DR5 CHECK FOR OPEN CMP AND SIG RTN CIRCUITS BETWEEN PCM AND CMP SENSOR

Are resistance measurements less than 5.0 ohms?
Yes No
GO to DR6 . REPAIR open circuit.
 

DR6 CHECK CMP CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO POWER IN HARNESS

Is voltage less than 1.0 volt?
Yes No
KEY OFF. GO to DR7 . REPAIR short circuit.
 

DR7 CHECK CMP CIRCUIT FOR SHORT TO GND AND SIG RTN IN HARNESS

Is each resistance greater than 10,000 ohms?
Yes No
GO to DR8 . REPAIR short circuit.
 

DR8 CHECK FOR SHORTS IN PCM

Is each resistance greater than 500 ohms?
Yes No
For VR type CMP:

GO to DR9 .

For Hall Effect type CMP:

GO to DR10 .
REPLACE PCM (refer to Section 2 , Flash EEPROM).
 

DR9 CHECK CMP SENSOR OUTPUT

Does ac voltage vary greater than 0.1 volt ac?
Yes No
REPLACE PCM (refer to Section 2 , Flash EEPROM). REPLACE CMP sensor.
 

DR10 CHECK CMP SENSOR OUTPUT DURING CRANK MODE

Does voltage reading switch between low (less than 2.0 volts dc) and high (greater than 8.0 volts dc)?
Yes No
A Hall effect type CMP sensor that is installed out of synchronization will produce a DTC. VERIFY the correct installation by referring to the Powertrain/Engine Group in the Workshop Manual (Electronic Engine Controls, Section 303-14). If CMP is installed properly, REPLACE PCM (refer to Section 2 , Flash EEPROM). REPLACE CMP sensor.
