| Oct 5, 2016 at 0:18 | comment | added | Ben | Ah you'd need a multimeter that has a hz setting. You could also set your multimeter to AC volts. I'm unsure of what reading you should be expecting, but I would assume if you get any reading out of the sensor than the problem lies elsewhere. | |

| Oct 5, 2016 at 0:10 | comment | added | Ben | If it's a 2 wire sensor set your multimeter to Hz and probe the dark blue/org wire at idle it should be around 5-7 Hz. The other wire should be a ground that originates from the PCM and is connected to a bunch of other sensors. | |

| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:32 | comment | added | Ben | Also check the corrosponding pin at the PCM (computer) to ensure the signal is reaching the PCM with no voltage drop. | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:29 | comment | added | Ben | Can you confirm that the sensor has ignition voltage and ground? if you disconnect it, terminals one & three (harness side) should be ignition voltage (12+v) and ground. If you backprobe the second terminal (the signal out, do this while the engine is running and the sensor is plugged in) you'll see roughly half of ignition voltage. If you see only ignition voltage or ground on terminal 2, the sensor is either shorted to ground or the sensor to trigger wheel spacing is incorrect or the trigger wheel is broken/missing. | |

| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:17 | comment | added | G. Travis | Yes that code.. | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | Ben | May want to note which engine is in the truck as well. | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:15 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | The code should start with a "P". A typical Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction is P0340. | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:11 | comment | added | G. Travis | 03940 i believe | |
| Oct 4, 2016 at 23:10 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | What is the exact code you're getting? | |
