P0341

Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance

High severity

What it means

The CMP signal is present but its phase relative to the crankshaft is outside tolerance. On engines with variable valve timing, this code often appears together with VVT solenoid faults.

Is it safe to drive?

No — stop driving

This code points to a problem that can cause damage or affect safety. Avoid driving and have the vehicle diagnosed promptly.

Most likely causes

  • VVT solenoid stuck or oil-starved

    medium

    A plausible cause — test and verify before replacing parts.

  • Timing chain stretched

    high

    One of the most commonly reported causes for this code — check this first.

  • Sensor drifting

    low

    Less common, but worth ruling out after the more likely causes.
