DESCRIPTION

The camshaft position sensor for the exhaust camshaft (EV signal sensor) consists of a magnet and an MRE element.
The exhaust camshaft has a timing rotor for the camshaft position sensor. When the camshaft rotates, changes occur in the air gaps between the timing rotor and MRE element, which affect the magnetic field. As a result, the resistance of the MRE material fluctuates. The camshaft position sensor converts the camshaft rotation data to pulse signals, and uses the pulse signals to determine the camshaft angle, which it sends to the ECM. Then the ECM uses this data to control fuel injection duration, injection timing and the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system.

DTC No.

When the engine is stopped due to Stop and Start system control, the camshaft position sensor does not monitor, but will resume monitoring when the engine is running.

HINT:
DTC P0365, P0367 and P0368 indicate a malfunction relating to the exhaust camshaft position sensor circuit (the wire harness between the ECM and exhaust camshaft position sensor, and the exhaust camshaft position sensor itself).
Reference: Inspection using an oscilloscope (Click here).

INSPECTION PROCEDURE

HINT:
  1. Read freeze frame data using the intelligent tester. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as freeze frame data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, freeze frame data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
  2. If no problem is found through this diagnostic troubleshooting procedure, troubleshoot the engine mechanical system.

1.CHECK ANY OTHER DTCS OUTPUT (IN ADDITION TO DTC P0365, P0367 OR P0368)

  1. Connect the intelligent tester to the DLC3.

  1. Turn the ignition switch to ON.

  1. Turn the tester on.

  1. Enter the following menus: Powertrain / Engine and ECT / DTC.

  1. Read the DTCs.

    HINT:
    If any DTCs other than P0365, P0367 or P0368 are output, troubleshoot those DTCs first.
