DTC P0368 - Camshaft Position Sensor "B" Circuit High Input (Bank 1)

DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor for the exhaust camshaft (EV signal sensor) consists of a magnet and MRE (Magneto-resistive Element).

The exhaust 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, which affects the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, and sends it to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration, injection timing and the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system.





HINT
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope P0340.

MONITOR DESCRIPTION

If no pulse signal is transmitted by the exhaust camshaft position sensor despite the camshaft revolving, or the rotation of the exhaust camshaft and the crankshaft is not synchronized, the ECM interprets this as a malfunction of the sensor.

Also, when the sensor output voltage remains at below 0.3 V, or higher than 4.7 V for more than 4 seconds, the ECM stores a DTC.

If the malfunction is not repaired successfully, the DTC is stored 10 seconds after the engine is next started.

COMPONENT OPERATING RANGE





CONFIRMATION DRIVING PATTERN

1. Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

2. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

3. Clear DTCs (even if no DTCs are stored, perform the clear DTC procedure).

4. Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.

5. Turn the ignition switch to ON and turn the Techstream on.

6. Start the engine.

7. Idle the engine for 10 seconds or more [A].

8. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Trouble Codes [B].

9. Read pending DTCs.

HINT
- If a pending DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If a pending DTC is not output, perform the following procedure.

10. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / Utility / All Readiness.

11. Input the DTC: P0365, P0367 or P0368.

12. Check the DTC judgment result.





HINT
- If the judgment result shows NORMAL, the system is normal.
- If the judgment result shows ABNORMAL, the system has a malfunction.
- If the judgment result shows INCOMPLETE or N/A, perform steps [B] through [C] again.

13. If no pending DTC is output, perform a universal trip and check for permanent DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

HINT
- If a permanent DTC is output, the system is malfunctioning.
- If no permanent DTC is output, the system is normal.

WIRING DIAGRAM

Refer to DTC P0335 P0335.

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT
- Read freeze frame data using the Techstream. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, 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.
- If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, there may be a mechanical problem with the engine.

PROCEDURE

1. CHECK TERMINAL VOLTAGE (POWER SOURCE OF CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR)

(a) Disconnect the camshaft position sensor for exhaust camshaft connector.





(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

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

Standard Voltage:

OK -- Continue to next step.

3. CHECK SENSOR INSTALLATION (CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR FOR EXHAUST CAMSHAFT)

(a) Check the camshaft position sensor for exhaust camshaft installation.





OK:

Sensor is installed correctly.

NG -- SECURELY REINSTALL SENSOR Installation
OK -- Continue to next step.

4. INSPECT EXHAUST CAMSHAFT (TIMING ROTOR)

(a) Check the timing rotor of the exhaust camshaft.

OK:

Camshaft timing rotor does not have any cracks or deformation.

NG -- REPLACE EXHAUST CAMSHAFT Removal
OK -- Continue to next step.

NEXT -- Continue to next step.

7. CHECK WHETHER DTC OUTPUT RECURS (DTC P0365, P0367 OR P0368)

(a) Connect the Techstream to the DLC3.

(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.

(c) Turn the Techstream on.

(d) Clear the DTCs Reading and Clearing Diagnostic Trouble Codes.

(e) Turn the ignition switch off.
