Hummer H2. Manual — part 1554

The PCM detects that a CMP to CKP mis-match has occurred.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

z

The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition
cycle that the diagnostic runs and fails.

z

The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the
diagnostic fails, the control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic
reports a failure on the second consecutive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating
conditions at the time of the failure. The control module writes the operating conditions to the Freeze
Frame and updates the Failure Records.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

z

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles
that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.

z

A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

z

A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other
emission related diagnostic.

z

Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

Diagnostic Aids

The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:

z

Camshaft reluctor ring damage

z

The sensor coming in contact with the reluctor ring

z

Foreign material passing between the sensor and the reluctor ring

z

Excessive camshaft end-play

z

Wiring routed too close to secondary ignition components

If you suspect the condition is intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

Test Description

The numbers below refer to the step numbers on the diagnostic table.

3: This step inspects for electromagnetic interference (EMI) on the CMP sensor circuits.

6: Damage to the face of the sensor could indicate foreign material passing between the CMP sensor and
the reluctor wheel. This condition would cause this DTC to set. Damage to the reluctor wheel would
affect the CMP sensor output.

DTC P0342

Circuit Description

The camshaft position (CMP) sensor works in conjunction with a 1 X reluctor wheel on the camshaft. The
powertrain control module (PCM) provides a 12 volt reference to the CMP sensor as well as a low reference
and a signal circuit.

As the camshaft rotates, the reluctor wheel interrupts a magnetic field produced by a magnet within the sensor.
The sensors internal circuitry detects this and produces a signal which the PCM reads.

The CMP sensor 1 X signal is used by the PCM to determine if the cylinder at top dead center (TDC) is on the
firing stroke or the exhaust stroke. The PCM can determine TDC for all cylinders by using the CKP sensor 24 X
signal alone. The engine will start without a CMP signal as long as the PCM receives the CKP sensor 24 X
signal. A slightly longer cranking time may be a symptom of this condition. The system attempts
synchronization and looks for an increase in engine speed indicating that the engine started. If the PCM does
not detect an increase in engine speed, the PCM assumes that the PCM incorrectly synchronized to the exhaust
