Xsara Picasso help

Post by CjD »

Hi everyone.

Im on need of help, i have a citroen xsara picasso with a 10FS engine code.

I have a engine warning light coming on ans diagnostic picks up fault code : P0341- Camshaft position sensor A circuit range/performance.

Upon inspection this vehicle does not seem to have any camshaft sensor (unless is it is really well hidden as iv stripped to check).

Any help or advice in what may be the issue is highly appreciated.

Many thanks

Not sure what a 10FS engine is. Do you have your VIN available to look into this further?
Also what diagnostics system are you using?

OK so its a TU5JP engine (1.6 8v Petrol)
You are correct there is indeed no camshaft position sensor on this engine.
Couple of further questions, Is the car running normally of is it just the warning light on? are you able to clear the fault code? if so how long before it comes back on?

Car starts, runs and drives fine. I can clear the fault code and it will stay off for a bit then re appear. Sometimes while driving and sometimes after an ignition cycle
