What Does P0341 Mean?
The P0341 code indicates that the camshaft position sensor signal on Bank 1 is out of its expected range or doesn't correlate properly with the crankshaft signal.Why Cam Position Matters
The ECM uses camshaft position for fuel injection sequencing and ignition timing. An out-of-range signal can cause starting and performance problems.Common Causes
A failing sensor, damaged reluctor wheel, wiring issues, or timing chain problems can all set this code. Metal debris on the sensor tip is also common.How AI4Car Helps
