The crankshaft position sensor works in tandem with the camshaft ones, and they sometimes fail together. I've seen it written that the crankshaft one should be changed WITH the cam ones. They're kinda expensive, but the no spark/injection thing suggests that may be your issue. <!-- from fixya rte -->

    Component Description UBS0095U
    The camshaft position sensor (PHASE) senses the retraction of
    intake valve camshaft to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft
    position sensor (PHASE) senses the piston position.
    When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position sensor (PHASE) provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification
    signals.
    The sensor consists of a permanent magnet and Hall IC.
    When 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.
    On Board Diagnosis Logic

    Did you check for power and grounds to the sensors? Did you hook up a professional grade scan tool an check sensor input to the ECU?

Ok check engine light was on codes p0340 & p0345 While driving it back to the dealer light goes off What could that be bad sensors Is this a serious problem

this is code p0340
P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction and this is p0345
P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction Bank 2 problem can be the sensor --but this is circuit so sensor --wiring -harness --connections etc ---and if your at dealer ask them also about your codes

Dealer just replaced timing belt and water pump and check eng light is on codes are p0345 and p0340 how bad is this and how far can I drive it

P0345 and P0340 are "Camshaft Position Sensor" problems. Hopefully it is only a wire or sensor bad, and not a camshaft improperly lined up when the belt was changed.
Go back to dealer to have the problem fixed. If the motor runs smoothly, it should be okay to drive to the dealer. The mechanic might have left a sensor wire disconnected.

06 Pontiac G6 2.4 I replaced the motor, started right up and ran great. Shut it off, now it won't start. I have no spark, and codes, po366 and po341 showed up. What's common to these 2 sensors?

DTC P0340: Intake CMP Sensor Circuit
DTC P0341: Intake Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Performance
DTC P0365: Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit
DTC P0366: Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Performance

The five volt reference circuit .

The 4X camshaft position (CMP) sensor circuits consist of an engine control module (ECM) supplied 5-volt reference circuit, low reference circuit, and an output signal circuit. The CMP sensor is an internally magnetic biased digital output integrated circuit sensing device. The sensor detects magnetic flux changes of the teeth and slots of a 4-tooth reluctor wheel attached to the camshaft. As each reluctor wheel tooth rotates past the CMP sensor, the resulting change in the magnetic field is used by the sensor electronics to produce a digital output pulse. The sensor returns a digital ON/OFF DC voltage pulse of varying frequency, with 4 varying width output pulses per camshaft revolution that represent an image of the camshaft reluctor wheel. The frequency of the CMP sensor output depends on the velocity of the camshaft. The ECM decodes the narrow and wide tooth pattern to identify camshaft position. This information is then used to determine the optimum ignition and injection points of the engine. The ECM also uses CMP sensor output information to determine the camshaft relative position to the crankshaft, to control camshaft phasing, and for limp-home operation.

06 bmw 525i codes p0174, p0171, p1338, p0340, p0365, and p1315

codes p 0171 and 174 refer ti system too lean
codes p 0338,340,365 refers to crank. and can shaft position sensors
code p1338 again is camshaft position sensor
code p1315 again is camshaft position sensor
too lean can be from fuel pump pressure too low
and position sensors can be wiring , connections sensors.
Involved in all these , one of the possible causes is the ECM
IF it is possible get a serviceable replacement ECM unit and substitute it first as there is no point in replacing all the rest if the ECM is faulty
could be water in the connections , corrosion etc
it is always suspect when so many different codes suddenly appear at the same time

P0340 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit Malfunction ,did you check the wiring ?
P0340 - Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor Circuit Malfunction The test fails when the PCM can no longer detect the signal from the CMP sensor.
  • CMP circuit open
  • CMP circuit short to GND
  • CMP circuit short to PWR
  • SIG RTN open (VR sensor)
  • CMP GND open (Hall effect sensor)
  • CMP misinstalled (Hall effect sensor)
  • Damaged CMP sensor shielding
  • Damaged CMP sensor
  • Damaged PCM
Harness routing, harness alterations, improper shielding, or electrical interference from other improperly functioning systems may have intermittent impact on the CMP signal. DR1 DTC P0340: CHECK IF ENGINE WILL START
    Note: Refer to the Pinpoint Test Schematic to determine the type of CMP sensor.
  • Start engine.
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. Is the PCM firing the injectors ?
  • Starting Concerns:
    • No Start, Normal Crank
Note: Extended cranking because of a no start can load the exhaust system with raw fuel, damaging the catalytic converter after the engine starts. For applications with Secondary Air Injection (AIR) Systems, perform the following after the no start has been repaired: Disconnect the electric secondary air injection (AIR) solid state relay, run the engine until the surplus fuel is used up, and reconnect the relay (disconnecting the relay may set a Continuous Memory PCM DTC that will need to be cleared).


SYSTEM/COMPONENT REFERENCE (Section 5 Pinpoint Test unless noted)
  • Add-on Anti-Theft Devices
  • Visual, check with customer.
  • Fuel/Ignition
  • For LS6/LS8:
  • GO to KB85 .
  • All others:
  • GO to A1 .
  • If engine is now a no start:
  • If engine will start and run normally at part throttle, check Idle Air Control (IAC) System.
  • Engine will now start and run normally at part throttle:
  • GO to KE2
  • Exhaust System (restrictions)
  • GO to HF1
  • Base Engine
  • Engine System - General Information Section 303-00 of the Workshop Manual.
  • Additional Testing
  • GO to Z1

The car cranks but won't start. There is no spark, no fuel, no injector pulse. I have manually made the contacts in the shut down relay still nothing. I jumped the fuel relay and the fuel pump runs and I...

If you remove the fuel line and crank the engine and get fuel then you could be assured that the crank sensor works but if there is no fuel while cranking then the crank sensor is most likely the fault. If the crank sensor is not the problem then it is most likely in the coil or distributor which the 97 is notorious for.

No fault codes but no spark or fuel pump operation

if you have NO spark NO injection pulse suspect a Camshaft Position Sensor(CMP), that is the sensor that tells the computer your ignition firing and timing and pulse width for your injectors once it has received a signal from your Crankshaft Position Sensor (CKP) the 2 sensors work together to achieve the correct combination for start up
