Getting the P0341 Camshaft Position Sensor error intermittently

[sameertj]

I am getting the P0341 error code intermittently. Looked up the error code and it seems to be for Camshaft Position Sensor 'A' Circuit Range/Performance (Bank 1).

How is this rectified? Is this a DIY job?

Could be a DIY, could be something you'd want to leave to more experienced and well equipped folks... it really comes down to how mechanically inclined you are and how willing you are to actually troubleshoot versus just shotgun parts. Likely causes are a faulty sensor (if you're lucky), wiring/connector problems, or another sensor somewhere on the same circuit pulling the Cam sensor down.

You might want to check out TSB 08-099-25 and give the following thread a read:

Second the above. I had the same code intermittently. Took it to the dealer and they couldn't find the issue. Guys over at green diesel engineering sent me this same TSB which I took to the dealer. They recognized the TSB, verified that my jeep qualified, and did the work. I think they had to reroute some of the wiring harness. It took much of the day to do with a test drive early the next day to verify everything was good. No codes since.

When you say the Jeep qualified, does it mean under the warranty?

That comment probably unnecessarily complicated my response, sorry.

I am under warranty, but that is not what I was referring to but rather the verbiage at the beginning of the TSB:

"camshaft sensor dtc customers must experience a malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illumination and the vehicle must exhibit/set the following diagnostic trouble code (dtc): P0341 - camshaft position sensor - performance bank 1 - sensor 1."

Thank you for clarifying.
