your timing marks are off by a few degrees. Have your timing set properly. P.s there was nothing wrong with your previous can sensor.

Hello all,

I have a Toyota camry 1999 4 plugs engine. The check light came up recently and I took the car for scanning and this code 'P0340 Camshaft position sensor A circuit Bank 1 or Single sensor' . I Google this code went to my Mechanic that I want my camshaft sensor to be replaced. Though, I don't have difficulty in starting the ignition and the car did not stall. Now we replace the the sensor and the check light disappear. I used the car through out yesterday morning and afternoon but at evening the check light was on again.

I did another scan and the same code P0340 came up again.. please what could be wrong again? Is it that the replaced sensor is faulty again or I we missing out something.... please I need your support on want to do or check. ..

Did you get a known good cam sensor? By the way the second pix showed is the speed refernce mark sensor

Amono:

depair:
if u had ur timing belt replaced or worked on it possible the timing is not properly set. your picture is the sensor

depair:
yea the engine ll start

Am currently having the same code on my 2006 toyota rav4
I changed the O2 sensor and spark plugs cos my scanner pointed to that direction, drove it for 30mins and the P0010 ( Camshaft position actuator circuit/ open bank 1

@depair n Amono, the timing was readjusted today and the check light went off but came up again after 30 minutes of driving. I rescaned and the same code P0340 was up.

Please what can I do again. More contributions and advice pleaseeeeee...

GAZZUZZ:

tell your mechanic to open up the timing belt cover, if it falls short of this, code might come back. Also check if cam sensor is loose or dangling

Boss apart from the timing, baba go for a new sensor it will save you this stress.

From experience the toks will work briefly, I changed one 2 days ago from a customer from Ibadan and it was display timing over retarded. I went for ladipo own and after driving from my workshop to where he's staying in lag a drive of over 2hours according to him, the check engine light came up again

The next day I scanned again and it was the same code, I remove and went for a new one and since then the light is not back again .
