PO341 & PO335? Please Help
Thursday, February 02, 2006 6:48 PM
Hey I don't know too much about Crankshaft/Camshaft sensors but my girlfriends car started acting up the last couple of weeks and when I scanned the computer both of these codes came up:

P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Range/Performance
P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction

The car is a 96 Cavalier

Is something setting these off, is one setting the other off, or do they just need to be replaced? The engine light only comes on every now and then but when it does the car barely runs. And I find the light comes on more in the rain then anything. I read in the repair book that their's an O-Ring on the Crankshaft sensor, could it just be that moisture is getting in?

It sounds like it may be the sensor or harness, if it's worse when it's wet, you're getting water intrusion into either the sensor or the harness. You can pull the sensor out and check it for any cracks or damage and see if it is still magnetic, they do have a spec for resistance, so you should check that as well and also you will want to check the crank sensor harness for any damage (rubbed through, burnt, exposed wiring , damaged pins). The harness plugs from the coil packs to the sensor, so just take it off and check it out. Hope this helps.

Thank you I'll check this soon, Does anyone know if it could be the crankshaft sensor setting off the camshaft sensor?

I have run into that before, it's usually a hairline crack in the sensor. On mine it cracked all together
