P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2) A code P0345 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

  • a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
  • the camshaft position sensor may have failed
  • the PCM may have failed
  • there exists an open circuit
  • the crankshaft position sensor may have failed
    • Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit
    • Check for continuity in the circuit wiring
    • Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor
    • Replace the camshaft position sensor as required
    • Check the crankshaft position circuit as well
    • Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required
    • Diagnose/replace the PCM as required

    that's what it means, any or all of those items I've listed could be the cause of that code you asked about, so I don't understand the poor rating,, but if you are asking what should you do about that code, I'd camshaft sensor first,, and if that doesn't clear it,, the one for the crank

2004 F150 5.4L died in stop and go traffic, P0345 code. Towed home, checked cam sensors, ohms good. Code gone with battery discharge, recharged, now won't fire at all. Turns over on starter, verified fuel,...

Based on the information provided, it is possible that the issue is related to the camshaft position sensor or the wiring/connectors related to it. The P0345 code indicates a problem with the camshaft position sensor "A" circuit, which could result in a no-start condition.
Here are some additional steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
  1. Check the wiring and connectors related to the camshaft position sensor. Make sure they are not damaged or corroded and are making good contact.
  2. Check the power and ground circuits to the camshaft position sensor using a multimeter. You should see battery voltage on the power side and a good ground on the other side.
  3. Test the camshaft position sensor with an oscilloscope or scan tool. This will allow you to see the signal from the sensor and determine if it is working correctly.
  4. Check the timing chain and related components. If the timing is off, it could cause a no-start condition.
If all of these checks appear to be okay, it may be necessary to perform additional diagnostic tests or replace the camshaft position sensor. It is recommended to consult a qualified mechanic for further assistance with the diagnosis and repair of the issue.

Nissan Almera wont start with code P0345

Code 345 means the cam sensor on bank two is not sending the correct signal to the engine computer. So no spark.
If you have replaced the sensor, the problem could be the cam or the wiring from the sensor to the computer.

P0345,P0349 code keeps kicking

Hi,

If your car is losing power, then you need to get your alternator and battery examined in order to stop future power issues. This could be linked to the p0345 code as voltage can fluctuate with power.

Thank you.

I am not sure what "slip n tcs" means but on the 2005 nissan maxima the code P0340 is for the camshaft position sensor circit on bank 1, which is in the rear of the engine compartment. Code P0345 is for camshaft position on bank 2, which is in the front of the engine compartment. The images show the Cyl banks and a cam sensor.6_29_2012_3_38_07_am.gif6_29_2012_3_40_48_am.gif

I have a 2005 F150 w/ 5.4. The following doces are reading on a scan: P0012, P0021, P0345, P0349, P0307. I do have a miss at times and rough idel. Any help would be appreciated

P0012 says the cam shaft signal is over retarded on bank 1, P0021 says that the cam shaft timing on bank 2 is over advanced. P0345 and P0349 means your cam shaft sensor cannot be read. Finally cylinder 7 (P0307) has a misfire. Changing your camshaft sensor would be a good start and then have the codes cleared. Switching the car on and off 5 times or disconnecting the battery negative terminal for 10 minutes will often clear the codes. With any luck everything will be resolved by the new cam shaft sensor. If the misfire is still present remove the spark plug and inspect it. If the plug is OK check out the HT lead and connection to see if there are any shorts.

My ODB-ll code reader displays P0345 and P0349 what is the difference between each one .i replaced both camshaft position sensors

The difference between the two is,
P0345--- there's a problem in the camshaft position sensor "A" circuit on bank 2,
P0349--- it's an intermitten problem in the camshaft position sensor "A" circuit on bank 2, which means the problem comes and goes.
