2013 Volkswagen Jetta- Check Engine Light/Stalling, P0343 Cam Sensor Circuit High

Hey whats up everyone, long time no see.
In this video we are Diagnosing cam sensor faults on a 2013 Volkwagen Jetta with a 2.5liter engine. The customer complaint is a check engine light and stalling. The testing methods in this video can be used when diagnosing cam sensor circuits. keep in mind circuit design can vary on different applications. I hope you enjoy this video and thanks for watching.

Good to see you Tommy. Wish you were able to share a bit more of your time but I understand there is more to life! Thanks for taking the time on this one.

[@jix177]

Good clear video, gets straight to the point with everything. Thanks.

[@baxrok2.]

Welcome back and thanks! Interesting that it didn't stall despite the cam signal being completely missing.

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you Tommy. Good job. Nice to see you brother. Have a blessed and safe week.

[@VoltageDropDiagnostics]

Good video, Tommy! I'm glad to see you back here making videos!

[@andrewk778]

Always interesting and informative. Thank you for sharing. Welcome back.

TOMMY, good to seya being long time excellent info as always.cheeeeers

[@markferraro5250]

great video Tom nice seeing you back at it

[@bnewton239]

well worth the wait, thanks.

[@NewLevelAuto]

Ooooo a new video ! Let's see now code would indicate to me lost sensor ground , time to watch

[@NewLevelAuto]

Bah , I was close . Great find bud ! And really happy to see you make a new video 👍👍👍

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

@@NewLevelAuto i think it was pin fitment issue...😁😃

[@AstroTomK]

Just subbed after watching the ScannerDanner "2012 VW Jetta No Communication with TCM" videos. Tommy looking forward to more videos. BTW welcome back even though I only subbed an hour ago.

Glad to see a new video! :)

Welcome back!!!

[@gregjones8501]

Good job Tommy! You make those cars look so primitive bro! Keep the good stuff coming man!

[@sandyande]

Nice to see u back Tom cheers sandy

[@dmoder3]

I cannot thank you enough! I've had these faults for 6 years. Back/forth to VW and they could never fix it. After deep diving into message boards and KZbin I ran across your video with the exact same codes as your customer. I went ahead and replaced spark plugs, ignition coils, and the Camshaft Position Sensor on my own. Cleared the code and it runs like new! The spark plugs and ignition coils gave me back a super smooth idle. I am going on nearly a week with all the fixes with no issues, no EPC light, starting at every crank (mine was super unpredictable), and no Check Engine light. Thank you so much!!

Nice to see u Tom....👍

[@orville58]

Glad your back

[@grumpysgarage4790]

So happy to see you back. Where ya been?

[@daviddasilva4897]

Welcome back great video

[@peanutbutterisfu]

This is why you diagnose and not throw parts at it! I have had many 2.0t engines come in with just a cam sensor code like a p0341 and they had timing issues like chain stretch, worn parts causing oil pressure issues to cam adjuster.

Good to see videos on vw

GOOD JOB TOMMY

Nice job 🔧🔧🔧👌👌

Good job bro

Dang I thought you got tired of doing KZbin and said screw it. Good work

Long time no see brother

[@littlebricolo1380]

Hi Tom, Very good vidéo. 😉 What's the diag tool you use ? Thk's

[@MrStouty109]

Hey Tommy I have a 2015 1.8 TSI Passat. It hit a sign in the left front. Starts and runs then runs rough after a couple min and won’t come out of park. Only damage I can find was 5 wires that go to the TCM. Replaced all damaged wires and still won’t come out of park. Have all power and grounds ok. Only fuse that poped was the 25 in the SC panel. Think it could have taken out the PCM. Scanned it and no com to Tcm,and a few other No com codes.

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

Possibly has a bad tcm. Maybe took some damage if wiring was shorted together

[@picoboo5048]

The cat came back😹

[@mikembz1]

Paul is God and Tommy is the disciple love you both my brothers.

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

Great content... Could that have possibly been a pin contact issue?

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

It is possible a pin contact issue could create the same problem. But when you flex on the housing of sensor chances are it’s a failed sensor. I’ve repinned connectors before and it didn’t fix the issue because it’s a problem with the sensor

[@joachimjohan1215]

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHH YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! "coolaidguy"

[@TheMobjackBoyProject]

Showing the P0343 code on my 09 along with a P0651 which is for an open circuit. I’ve replaced the cam sensor twice and still no fix. Cleaned every ground i found. Does this sound like a wiring issue or an ECM issue?

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

Start with voltage checks at the sensor. You should have a 5volt reference and a sensor ground. The signal wire should have 5 volts on it with the sensor unplugged

[@jamesk10turbo47]

I only have the p0323, cam circuit high. Cam/crank sensor is confirmed good. Extended cranking. How often is the actual harness an issue?

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

I’ve seen all of the above with this code. I e seen bad cam sensors, open ground circuits and bad ecms. I would do some checks at the sensor again. Look at your sensor signal and sensor ground and see what you have and go from there.

[@victorlopez2143]

I have the same issues on a 2014 VW Jetta - it runs fine but the EPC light is on along with the engine light - what would be the cost to fix this issue ?

[@KingHyp3]

Had the same EPC issue, I changed my plugs, wires, and coil pack, it was good after that

[@simonwilczynski5863]

I'm looking into a p0343 code. On my supply voltage I have 4.99v but on the signal I have 4.86v. Is it normal normal for the signal on the harness side to have almost five volts when unplugged

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

Yes that is a bias voltage from the computer.

[@exmotorsports]

Wow..look who it is.. So.., I take it you have taken some time off to let that beard grow out.?! Lol Good to see your still making some videos . Cheers

[@user-km3gt2dp3e]

Hello need to this channel I have a Volkswagen Jetta SE 2012 been told that the control module is bad I replace it with 07k90655G then I was told it need to be special one now got me looking for 07k90655CJ what could I do just trying to pass the smog having a hard time

[@PositiveLeadDiagnostics]

What’s the problem with your vehicle?

[@NCPDFSB]

who's this guy?

[@fuckjewtube69]

This is why I don't like Snap On. $15k retail tool and it can't tell you specific manufacturer codes. It can't do a lot of things.
