P0345 Code - Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Malfunction Bank 2

What Does P0345 Mean?

OBD-II Code P0345 is defined as a Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit

The Camshaft Position Sensor measures the exact rotational position of the camshaft. This provides a critical data signal used by the engine control module (PCM) to control the fuel injectors and ignition coils. When the PCM detects an irregular signal or no signal, it will set code P0345.

How do you troubleshoot P0345 ?

With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground. It should be pretty close to battery voltage (12 volts). If not, then this is the circuit that has the problem.
