Hello, I have a 2011 Ram 1500 5.7 Bighorn. Over the past 2 months I’ve been having on and off issues with the code P0340. The symptoms remain the same; engine and traction control lights come on, cruise control doesn’t work, engine lurches randomly, and I get a dead petal at anything over 80km/h (once I take my foot off the accelerator I have to wait until I slow to 80kmh before I get any acceleration again). The first time around it was an oil change that fixed everything. Second time around was a new camshaft position sensor, and now the third time, after trying both of those solutions, I have had no luck. Clearing the code is a temporary solution that lasts about a day. Any help is appreciated but I have to warn I’m no mechanic, so sorry if I don’t understand right off the bat.

 

Cam position sensor circuit. Need to check the wiring for that sensor.

 

where do I find the wiring? Like I said, no knowledge when it comes to trucks

 

Two or three wire sensor? Two will go between the sensor and the PCM. Buried deep in the harness no doubt..... if there is a third wire, it's a ground, and may also go to the PCM....
