P0340 on a Nissan Rogue
Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1)
QR25 Rogue.
What P0340 usually means on a Rogue
P0340 points to a fault in the Rogue's camshaft position sensor circuit, which the ECU relies on for timing synchronization. On the QR25 it can cause hard or no-starts, stalling, and hesitation, sometimes worse when hot. The sensor or its wiring and connector is the usual cause. Once confirmed it is a relatively inexpensive fix.
Most likely causes on this model
- Failed camshaft position sensor
Heat-related failure is common and can cause hot-start issues on the QR25.
- Wiring or connector fault
A chafed or corroded connector interrupts the signal.
- Timing chain wear
Chain stretch on high-mileage engines can throw off cam timing and set the code.
What it costs on a Rogue
The cam sensor is a modest part with reasonable access on the Rogue, keeping this among the cheaper sensor repairs. Inspect the connector and wiring first. If timing-chain stretch is the cause, the repair becomes considerably larger.
