Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 1)
The P0367 code indicates that the Engine Control Module (ECM) has detected a low voltage condition in the camshaft position sensor circuit for Bank 1. This sensor monitors the position of the camshaft relative to the crankshaft to optimize fuel injection and ignition timing. A low circuit voltage can result from a faulty sensor, wiring issues, or a problem with the ECM itself. This condition can cause poor engine performance, stalling, and difficulty starting.
01. Most Common Causes
- Faulty camshaft position sensor
- Short to ground in the sensor circuit
- Open or damaged wiring/connectors
- Corroded or loose electrical connections
- Failed ECM (rare)
02. Symptoms You Will Notice
- Check Engine Light illuminated
- Engine hard to start or no start
- Rough idle or engine misfire
- Reduced fuel economy
- Engine stalling or hesitation
03. Step-by-Step Diagnosis
Step 1: Scan for additional codes and record freeze frame data.
Step 2: Visually inspect the camshaft position sensor and its wiring for damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
Step 3: Test the sensor's voltage and ground circuits using a multimeter (reference signal should be 5V, ground continuity).
Step 4: Check sensor resistance and compare to manufacturer specifications.
Step 5: If all tests pass, replace the camshaft position sensor and clear the code.
