Can someone please explain Difference between codes P0341 and P0342 please?

The codes signify issue with the same component.

P0341 What the P0341 code means. P0341 is an OBD-II generic code that says the engine control module (ECM) detected the engine camshaft position sensor circuit is not within specifications. The sensor pulses do not correlate to the pulses of the crankshaft sensor.

I have a 2007 jeep commander code P0153 O2 sensor slow response( bank 2sensor 1) replaced O2 light came back on later that day same code replaced O2 sensor again later that day check engine back on

What type O2sensor did you use ? Aftermarket ? Jeep's ,Chryslers , dodge are picky . WARNING Aftermarket Oxygen Sensors Chrysler part 1 Did you test or just replace the O2 sensor . P0153 Jeep O2 sensor 2 1 Slow Response If you don't have the tools like this guy uses an have the know how it's tough to fix problems like this .

Runs rich

How can you fail more than once?

After you fail, you go to a repair shop &
resolve ALL Vehicle issues

Then the shop road tests until all 8 I/M Monitors
run clear ,or there is no reason to go back to inspection
knowing your going to fail.

The problem is the shops & peoples inability to explain
what they need taken care of.

If you never work on the vehicle for years,then you don't
go to inspection,it is a given you will fail

Spark Plugs-every 3 years
Check for Cylinder Misfires
Always install a New Air Filter before inspection
Always install new fresh full sys oil before inspection

Oxygen Senors get replaced every 100,000 miles

Have to road test with professional scan tool & look at
all data,check monitors,fuel trim,O2 etc & check for codes

You have to spend the money to evaluate the vehicle, to see
if it is ready to go for inspection,not many are,their just driven
& neglected

Rich could be-- O2 Sensors,Dirty MAF Sensor,Vacuum Leaks,
Injector Leaks & more,I have seen a dirty air filter fail a car

I took my car to be inspected check engine light on failed inspection for codes p0030 and p0135. Where can i get it repaired with out paying a fortune. Please tell me what to do

those are both codes for the bank 1 sensor 1 O2 heater circuit. If you have a voltmeter and now how to use it I can walk you through some steps on how to check.

This O2 (on the 2.2 liter) is located on the drivers side of the exhaust manifold about where it connects to the exhaust pipe. This is not an easy O2 to replace and does require a special O2 sensor tool to remove and install a new one.

I wouldn't have any problem replacing the O2 as a first step in resolving this issue. I would check the fuses to make sure they are good first!

Codes P0131, P0137, P0341, and B1218. Code P0131 and P0137 were listed twice. This is for a 2000 chevy venture. I already spent $400. 2 years ago for emissions

HI ghosthunter6 codes P0131&P0137&P0341 indicative of having electrical short .
P0131 Front Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted .
P0137 Rear Heated Oxygen Sensor Bank 1 harness is open or shorted .
P0341 Camshaft position sensor harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted) .
code B1218 horn relay coil circuit short to voltage battery .
IT could be cousin problem with other sensors .
First replace horn relay and clear E C M codes
IF problem and codes P0131&P0137 come back you need o2 sensors .put I don't thank so.
YOU MUST REPLACE HORN RELAY .OK

good luck

I have 2002 avalanche and my engine light came on

There are a number of things that could be causing this p0420 catalyst efficiency code. The most common thing is the catalytic converter itself is no longer functioning properly. The other likely thing is the rear O2 (oxygen) sensor is no longer working properly. Other things could include exhaust leaks, damaged exhaust pipes, damaged O2 sensor wiring/connectors, plugged catalytic converter, etc.

The easiest thing to do first is a visual check of things. Visually inspect the exhaust system for leaks, check the catalytic converter for dents, holes, severe discoloration, and check for a rattle inside. If any of those symptoms are there, the converter likely needs replacement. Then, visually inspect the downstream O2 sensor (behind the converter). Check for broken wires, obvious faults, etc. If all that checks out, you'll want to check the operation of the O2 sensor. To do that, you'll need access to a scan tool or oscilloscope. Check that the waveform is pretty steady. If the reading fluctuates then the sensor is likely bad and will need to be replaced.

Good luck and hope this helps.

Obd2 code p0300 on mazda protege 2002

Just had one of these with a maxima, the code is multiple random misfire, when a misfire occurs, to start is do the basics, replace the plugs, check fuel pressure, clean throttle body, and coolant is topped up. also I have seen if the O2 sensor is not working correctly is can cause a misfire, you will need a scan tool to look at what the O2 sensor is doing, o rby back probing the sensor (don't damage the O2 sensor wires). If it wires replace them as well, if it has coils they usually dont give that code if one fails, it will pinpoint that a certain coil if one fals.

I have a 2001 Santa Fe and the Engine light is lit and has been for many years. When I took the vehicle for the State Inspection I was told that the Co2 needed to be changed so the light would come off and...

The best thing to do is go to Auto Zone and get your Hyundai scanned for a DTC code. That would tell us which O2 sensor has gone bad. You have three O2 sensors and one of them has gone bad, the O2 sensor sends signals to the ecm to control the air fuel mixture so it will not run to rich or to lean which is causing you to fail the state inspection. Good luck and keep me posted on what the DTC codes are, be glad to help.

2000SATURN SL2 CODE CLASS 2 SHORT TO BATERY

To BIGHWEELS197, take your car to AutoZone and have them scan the computer - they'll do it for free, whereas the dealer will charge an hour's labor. Post the codes here and we can determine the problem.

To wjcomet, here are your code definitions:

P0133 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1 Sensor 1) - this means that the primary O2 sensor on the bank of cylinders with cylinder number 1 in it is not heating up quickly enough. The heating element is eventually getting it to temperature (it has to be heated up to work) but it's getting to be too long to heat up, which can fail you for cold-start emissions. You'll have to replace this sensor eventually.

P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)

This indicates a problem with your cam angle sensor. It could be that the sensor's pickup is not working right anymore (this does happen) but it could also be because your O2 sensor isn't getting to temperature soon enough and excess emissions are being detected, the car's computer may think that the cam position is off. If the cam isn't timed right, excess emissions can happen, so the computer may believe that's what is happening. I wouldn't be surprised however if the O2 sensor that's going bad is causing this code as well.

P0404 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit Range/Performance

Indicates a failure of the EGR valve. Again, there's a chance that the failing O2 sensor can trigger this.

P1404 is a manufacturer-specific auxiliary emissions control failure code. I don't have access to that code's definition for your car, but again it's likely to be a result of the O2 sensor fault that you're having, since it's emissions-related and the O2 sensors are the main controllers of emissions on a car.

My advice would be to change that O2 sensor, have the codes reset, and see which ones, if any, return. If none come back, you likely had only the O2 problem and that fault caused the other codes as well. If one or more of the codes returns, we'll have to troubleshoot those individually.
