Circuit/System Description
The engine control module (ECM) uses the crankshaft position sensor, intake camshaft position sensor, and exhaust camshaft position sensor information to monitor the correlation between the crankshaft, and intake camshaft, and exhaust camshaft position.

Conditions for Running the DTC

DTC P0335, P0336, P0340, P0341, P0365, P0366, P0641, and P0651 are not set.
The engine is cranking or running.
The crankshaft and camshaft position signals are synchronized.
The camshaft position actuator solenoid valves are in the parked position.

The DTCs run continuously once the above conditions are met.
