P0365 Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1) - General Information

Component Location





General Description

The Camshaft Position Sensor (CMPS) is a sensor that detects the compression TDC of the NO. 1 cylinder. The CMPS consists of a hall type sensor and a target on the end of the intake camshaft. When the target triggers the sensor, the sensor voltage is 5V. If not, the sensor voltage is 0V. These CMPS signal is sent to the PCM and the PCM uses the CMPS signal for synchronizing the firing of sequential fuel injectors.

DTC Description

The PCM monitors the exhaust camshaft sensor signal transition position which must change only once per crankshaft revolution. If no camshaft signal is detected while crankshaft signal is detected, the PCM sets DTC P0365.

Signal Waveform & Data




1 There are 60 signals of CKPS(Including missing tooth) during the semi-cycle of CMPS #2.
2 There are 3 - 5 signals of CKPS between the switching point of CMPS #2 and the missing tooth of CKPS.
