p0368 – Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit High Bank 1
Common causes:
- Faulty camshaft position sensor
- Open or short in the wiring harness
- Poor electrical connection at the camshaft position sensor
- Engine timing issues
- ECU/PCM software needs to be updated
Common Misdiagnosis
OBD2 Code: P0368
Description: Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit High Bank 1
Common Misdiagnosis: Replacing the camshaft position sensor without checking for wiring issues or problems with the timing chain/belt.
Common Diagnostic Steps
OBD2 Code: P0368
Description: Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit High Bank 1
- Check the camshaft position sensor wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
- Inspect the camshaft position sensor itself for any signs of physical damage.
- Use a multimeter to test the voltage and ground signals at the camshaft position sensor connector.
- Verify that there is proper continuity in the wiring between the camshaft position sensor and the engine control module (ECM).
- Check for any related trouble codes that might indicate an issue with other components, such as crankshaft position sensors or timing chain/belt problems.
- If equipped, inspect and test the variable valve timing (VVT) solenoid for proper operation.
- Clear all codes after repairs are made and perform a road test to ensure the issue has been resolved.
