P0340 is associated with the camshaft-position sensor circuit. Check the exact code description, other stored codes, connector condition, and wiring before making assumptions about the sensor.
If there are timing-related codes, abnormal mechanical noise, or recent timing work, stop and follow the manufacturer's diagnostic sequence. A scan code alone cannot confirm that mechanical timing is correct.
Quick educational note
For information, not a diagnosis or repair instruction. Vehicle-specific checks are still required. Consult the manufacturer's guidance and a qualified technician.
