Hello,

The code:
P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 Or Single Sensor)

This code gets triggered when ECM is unable to detect the cam position sensor.
It can be due to a faulty sensor, the circuit short to the ground, open circuit, not getting enough voltage, damaged sensor.

I have attached the basic diagnostics for that code.

See diagrams below for the location of the sensor.

Please let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
