Have a BMW 528i 1997 giving me a P0340 OBD error message. Have replaced the CPS with OEM part, but still get an error message telling me Sensor A Bank1 - Circuit Malfunction. OBD reader still gives me the Circuit Malfunction message.

Symptoms can include: Hard starting or no start
Rough running / misfiring Loss of engine power Causes
A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken the camshaft position sensor may have failed the PCM may have failed
there exists an open circuit
the crankshaft position sensor may have failed

Possible Solutions With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code,
diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try: Visually inspect all the wiring and connectors in the circuit Check for continuity in the circuit wiring Check the operation (voltage) of the camshaft position sensor Replace the camshaft position sensor as required Check the crankshaft position circuit as well Replace circuit wiring and/or connectors as required Diagnose/replace the PCM as required

have you changed the correct CMP sensor
the code refers to sensor A bank 1circuit malfunction===causes wiring---sensor---ecm
it may be a bad wire or connection or the wrong sensor

Ask the parts store to pull the cides with the OBD (on board diagnostic) tester and tell you what is wrong.

The 2008 BMW 528i could be equipped with either a turbo charged or non turbocharged motor. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Where is the camshafts on BMW z3 1997

DTC P0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction
This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it.

Symptoms can include:
Hard starting or no start
Rough running / misfiring
Loss of engine power

A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:
a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
the camshaft position sensor may have failed
the PCM may have failed
there exists an open circuit
the crankshaft position sensor may have failed

Possible Solutions: With a P0340 OBD-II trouble code, diagnosis can be tricky at times. Here are some things to try:

Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer.

Thank you for using Fixya, and have a nice day

• There are two Camshaft position sensors. The one this is for is the one by the oil dipstick on the LH side of the engine. If you replaced the other you need to replace this one as well. Both are recommended, in other words when changing one it is recommended to change the other as well.
• If you have any further questions or comments please feel free to ask and thank you for using FixYa.

• That being said I sat in a chat and waited for a response from you for 12 minutes. I hope this answers your question.

I have a 1999 BMW 740 il My SES light came on so I hooked up my OBD code reader p0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction is what came up. so I went to the BMW parts department and bought the Camshaft Position Sensor.
I Replaced the with the new. My SES light was still on so I hooked up the OBD reader again hoping it may reset my SES light but it didn't what did happen is the OBD reader came up with the same code (p0340 - Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction) witch is what I just replaced. now I'm at a loss. I'm not sure how to reset my SES light and if I just replaced the Camshaft Position Sensor why dose it the OBD code p0340 still come up. Any suggestions?
