F150 Camshaft Sensor P0340 P0344 P0345 or P0349 5.4 3V

[@jimhamman2335]

Thank you for this video. It is informative, but folks should know that the P0345 code is for Bank 2 which is the driver's side. My 2004 F150 FX4 (5.4L, 3V) had been giving me random misfires for some time and eventually a P0345 code. I replaced the camshaft position sensor and the misfires and code cleared up. No further problems. Don't discount the possibility that the sensor has failed just because they usually don't!

I’ve never been good with my multimeter. Glad I found this video so I can dumb it down to the problem

[@matthumphrey4915]

ive been looking for a straight forward video on the harness and plug side of my sensors, thank you, i finally know where to look and how to check.

[@happycamper6267]

I had some work done on my 2006 and the p340 code appeared. Thanks to your video I found one of the harnesses not reinstalled. Thank you!

[@TestDontguess]

Awesome I’m glad the video helped you

[@upperroomtoo]

Great video. I have a question on your test procedure. I am getting p0345, 349 during koeo test. So I tries to test the circuit and get ground on one pin of the plug and nothing on the other. No power or ground. I wasn't sure when watching you test voltage at the plug but it seems you are connected to batt pos when you test for voltage? So is it supposed to be a ground on both pins in the lug or is one pos and one neg? Thanks

[@Khaled-tx5xj]

I have 2014 Raptor 6.2 no engine codes , but every now and then when I come to a stop at traffic light he engine rpm revs up and then dies showing low oil pressure , is this the culprit of the problem ?

[@newageautotechnology]

How do you find out what pin you need to check??

[@josephmclaughlin3188]

You are slightly mistaken on the pin check. Pin 45 on ECU is for Bank 1 CPS Signal and pin 44 is for Bank 2 CPS signal. As for the voltage check? the Green wire is the power wire and is bundled along with pin 58, oxy sensor, fuel press/temp sensor, cyl hd temp,and evap sensor. If any of those items are bad or shorted it will give a bad reading on CPS being tested too. Infinite ohms is open, and the lower the number shown is the most complete circuit.

[@wesv8743]

When you were testing for voltage you were on the positive side of the battery so all of that is doing is showing that you have a ground at the harness

[@TestDontguess]

That’s what it’s showing and also making sure you don’t have a broken wire or short to ground. Do you even understand electronics

[@traviscarpenter4240]

Ok so I'm getting 25 and 12 for voltage on the wire is that a problem??

[@mymechanicfriend6017]

It could throw code/s due to a defective low battery... and It could also be a bad ripple effect from a bad diode on the alternator in particular on other vehicles ✊🏾☝🏾

[@kevinyork9333]

Your tests don't add up right. You used pin 44 and 45 for bank 1. Pin 44 goes to cmp2+ bank 2 and pin 45 goes to cmp1+ bank 1. Can you explain this?

[@jettjensen4902]

Pin 45 is one side sensor pin 44 is the other side sensor the grey and red wire is signal return and the orange wire on one sensor is from the pcm the green on the other sensor is from the pcm positive I don’t know how you got your information but it’s not correct at all each sensor only has one pin on the pcm the signal return is shared with a bunch of other sensors

[@MechanicalJay]

Thank you so much bro that made so much more sense this guy threw me for a loop

[@JohnJohn-nh5mj]

I got a 2011 f150 3.5 and a code p010 , in bank 1 there 2 sensors ,bank 2 same. I ck the voltage in bank 1 one sensor has close to 12v, the other sensor in bank 1 (has 2 wires) has no voltage. Did both sensor need 12 v or only one? Help please?

[@johnpaulgarrett1]

You had the red lead on battery positive and the black lead to the cam connector so you were getting 12 volts because you were GROUNDING through the cam sensor connector.

[@algnojewski969]

Yea I wasn’t tracking on that. If he was checking voltage on the plug why didn’t he just ground out the multimeter and check the plug for voltage

[@fdmgrady5184]

I’m getting 6.6 volts with key on and 10.4 volts with key off..crank but no start

[@redawson001]

I've put new Cloyes chains and tensioners and phasers along with camshaft position sensors and I'm still getting this code. Customer is super pissed because it keeps coming back after 15 miles. It will feel like a intermittent miss. When I rebuilt the engine, I sent the heads get a valve job with followers and lifters. Any ideas?

[@TestDontguess]

Sounds like you didn’t verify oil pressure before doing all this to confirm if the Camshaft journals are worn out

[@carlitoxm]

Hello friend, perform the tests that you indicate in your video and in both connectors the signal from the pcm gives me 6.22 v, that indicates that it is below 10 v, but that the wiring or the current output of the pcm is wrong?

[@evanwestbrooks4049]

I'm having same issue. With key off I get better then 10 volts on both wires, but with key on I get 6 volts on "said" green wire.

I have a 2006 f250 same engine tho. One wire is getting 12v other is getting 6v. There are no breaks in the wire and the code actually went away after an oil change and cam sensor replacement. I read the wire reading 6v means timing chain is loose? Is this true?

@@keyera1378 honestly just gave up on this. I tore apart the engine to get to the timing chain.

Basically the engine wasnt getting enough oil. been about a week since ive put it all back together and havent had any engine issues or codes since

[@florenbaron7111]

I already replaced all of the cam sensors but I get the P0346, only when I scan while driving, yet no Check Engine Light. But the error shows on my scanner, only when I scan and drive at the same time. When I scan in park the scanner shows 0 codes. My vehicle does have symptoms. I looked at the wires and they basically look new in my 2014 ford Mustang V6 3.7. I also replaced the VVT solenoid valves, changed the oil, etc. I even purchased more sensors in case I got a bad one. I sure wish someone can give me some much needed direction. Thank you.

[@hooman008]

Hello i have the same issue with the same engine , could you figure the problem out ? Thank you

[@florenbaron7111]

Hi, the problem was that the wire connecting to one of the oil control valves was not properly connected. I did a few other things but it sure seems like making sure the connection was proper fixed the problem. I also used and use thicker oil, used engine cleaner within the engine, etc. But the process blown wasn't fixed until I twisted the wire and reinstalled it on the oil control valve.
