P34AEA Camshaft Position Actuator Position Sensor A Circuit Low Bank 1
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- How the car detects it
- P34AE says the voltage from position sensor A on the bank 1 intake side remains under its minimum. The 2022 Mitsubishi Outlander, whose intake cam is moved by an electric motor, evaluates the code in the electric valve timing module and points to an open or shorted actuator circuit or a faulty actuator; unlike the circuit and high codes, no delay time is stated. Typical findings are a signal line touching ground, a missing sensor supply or a shorted Hall element in the motor. The module then stops phasing and keeps the intake cam at its base angle, which costs low-end torque; because the stratified cold start is also dropped, starts from cold may run rougher. P34AF is the high code, P34B2 the bank 2 code.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Less pulling power at low revs
- Rougher running after a cold start
- Likely causes
- LikelySignal line shorted to ground
- PossibleSensor supply open or shorted
- PossibleHall sensor in the actuator motor shorted (actuator replacement)
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
