The P0368 code indicates a problem with the Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit for Bank 2. This sensor plays a critical role in engine timing, and a high input signal can disrupt the engine's performance. A faulty sensor, wiring issues, or problems within the Engine Control Module (ECM) can trigger this code.

What are the symptoms of the P0368 code?

Common symptoms associated with the P0368 code are:

• Check Engine Light illuminated on the dashboard
• Decreased engine performance or rough idling
• Difficulty starting the engine or stalling
• Poor fuel economy due to improper engine timing
• Engine misfires or hesitation during acceleration.

What causes the P0368 code?

Potential causes of the P0368 code include:

• A malfunctioning camshaft position sensor on Bank 2
• Short circuits or breaks in the wiring or connectors associated with the sensor
• Faulty engine control unit (ECU) or ECM
• Issues with the camshaft or timing belt/chain that affect sensor readings
• Electrical interference from other components in the vehicle.

How to fix P0368?

To address the P0368 code, the following steps are generally recommended:

1. Inspect the camshaft position sensor for signs of damage or wear, and replace it if necessary.
2. Check the wiring and connectors for any signs of corrosion, fraying, or other damage, repairing or replacing as needed.
3. Verify that the engine timing is correct; adjust if there are any discrepancies.
4. Clear the trouble code and test drive the vehicle to see if it returns.
5. If the issue persists, further diagnostics of the ECU and related components may be required.
