P1684 The battery has been disconnected within the last 50 starts.
P0340
This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor
circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could
lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM.
Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely
fix it.

So, I'm at the gas station, loaded up to head out of town.
It's 6:00 pm on Memorial day. I guess this means no trip, eh?
It drove fine earlier today. What likely causes it to happen now,
after having been driven just 2 hours ago?
Thanks for your help.
The camshaft position sensor problem is the one you need to be concerned about. This could cause the car to stop running for a short time until the temperature of the car cools. This could take from 1hr - 2 hrs. to cool. I would think that if you have a mechanic available and an auto parts store open at this time, it should not take that long to fix and you could get on with your trip. Otherwise, I would not advise chancing stalling in the middle of nowhere and not having access to services, especially if you are traveling with children. Sorry if this turns out to be bad news.

I only drove it 1.1 miles. I had low coolant & low transmission fluid recently, since repaired (presumably) & refilled. Is it likely those being low caused this?
Thx for ur advice.
previous issue was ~3 wks ago.
It is possible, but not probable. The fact the car could have gotten hot may have contributed to tripping the sensor, but you should be able to test this relatively easily. Drive it around the block for about 15 mins and see if it stalls and will not restart easily. DO NOT TRY TO KEEP CRANKING IT OR YOU WILL KILL THE BATTERY. If it stalls or seems to run sluggish, especially at stop lights, the problem is still there and is more than likely one of the crankshaft or camshaft sensors.
Thank you for such great advice.
Car is parked for night & will have it checked tomorrow.
Hopefully simple…& inexpensive. Will update you on fix.
Thanks again!

The camshaft sensor is very common on chrysler. the magnet becomes weak and since it is a hall effect type device that relies on a magnetic field,the output drops.
sometimes the sensor works fine for days.
replace it.
