Chronic Camshaft Position Sensor code

[moseleykmc]

I've had a 2007 Winn Adventurer for 7 years, purchased with 10k miles, now has 40k miles. I can always count on the CEL lighting up every month or so, and the camshaft position sensor circuit low voltage code appearing when scanned. Through the years I have replaced the camshaft sensor, the wiring pigtail to the sensor, the crankshaft position sensor, overlaid the wiring from the crankshaft position sensor, replaced the spark plug wires, all 4 O2 sensors, then the camshaft position sensor again. I installed new engine battery twice, removed and cleaned all ground points, and removed, inspected and cleaned the PCM plugs. The only thing I have not done is test/replace starter, as the engine cranks at good RPM and fires immediately. Every time I work on a potential issue and clear the code, the CEL lights and the same code appears.
If this was yours, what would you to next, other than put a piece of black tape over the CEL?

Thanks!

I have run into issues like this before on cars when using aftermarket parts.
If you haven't tried a OE part you might give that a try.
Good luck.

What code are you getting?

Have you ever cleaned the MAF?

Replaced MAF last year- still get codes
Thanks!

Did a little research, seems like others have had similar problems after doing what you have done. Have you tried rerouting the wires as the article below mentions?

A code P0341 may mean that one or more of the following has happened: Cam sensor wiring routed too close to spark plug wiring (causing interference) Poor wiring connection at cam sensor Poor wiring connection at PCM Bad cam sensor Damaged reluctor wheel Possible Solutions NOTE: In some cases this engine code is generated on vehicles that do not actually have a camshaft position sensor. In those cases it basically means the engine is misfiring badly due to faulty spark plugs, spark plug wires, and often coils. Often relacing the sensor fixes this code, but not necessarily. Therefore it's important to check the following: Check that the wiring isn't routed too close to any secondary ignition components (coil, spark plug wires, etc.) Visually inspect the wiring at the sensor for any burn marks, discoloration indicative of melting or chafing Visually inspect the cam sensor for damage Visually inspect the reluctor wheel through the cam sensor port (if possible) for any missing teeth or any damage If reluctor isn't visible from outside the engine, visual test can only be done by removing cam shaft or intake manifold (depending on engine design) If all checks out okay, then replace the sensor.
