P0345 Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2)

Technical Description

The Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2) has been detected.

What does that mean?

This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code that applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer). However, the specific repair steps may vary slightly depending on the model.

This indicates that there is a problem in the camshaft position sensor circuit of bank 2.

Since it mentions the circuit, the issue could be in any part of the circuit – the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Simply replacing the CPS (camshaft position sensor) may not necessarily fix the problem.

The symptoms of this issue may include:

  • Difficulty starting or inability to start
  • Engine running rough or misfiring
