• ECU software needs updating

Common Misdiagnosis

OBD2 Code: P0369

Description: Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Intermittent Bank 2

Common Misdiagnosis: Replacing the camshaft position sensor without checking for wiring issues or timing chain/belt problems.

Common Diagnostic Steps

OBD2 Code: P0369

Description: Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Intermittent Bank 2

• Verify the code using an OBD-II scanner and clear it to see if it returns.
• Inspect the camshaft position sensor for any visible damage or loose connections.
• Check the wiring and connectors leading to the sensor for signs of wear, corrosion, or disconnection.
• Test the camshaft position sensor’s voltage and ground signals with a multimeter to ensure they are within specifications.
• Examine the timing chain or belt for proper alignment and tension; incorrect timing can affect sensor readings.
• If applicable, update the vehicle’s engine control module (ECM) software to address known issues related to this code.
• If all else fails, replace the camshaft position sensor with a new one and retest to confirm resolution of the issue.
