- How the car detects it
- Camshaft position sensor B is the exhaust camshaft sensor (bank 1 = side with cylinder 1), usually a Hall sensor on the exhaust cam phaser. P0369 means its signal is basically present, but now and then a cam pulse arrives at a crank angle where none is expected, or pulses drop out. Ford checks this in its camshaft ignition system test from 200 rpm and decides within 5 s; with this and the other cam timing codes active, Ford also suspends its oxygen sensor monitor. FCA lists P0369 among the cam sensor codes for which the cam/crank synchronisation event data should be read before replacing the sensor. GM does not use the code (2014–2019 only P0365/P0366). Typical causes are a loose contact, interference from ignition wiring and a sensor with metal debris or a borderline air gap.
