misubishi in limp mode

[foxyblue]

Hi, can any of you guys help me with the problem that I have with my 2007 l200 DiD pickup,the car is in limp mode after changing the camshaft position sensor as according to the fault code this was the problem,now there are no faults showing on the codereader but the vehicle is still in limp mode any suggestions as how to overcome this.thanks

What fault code have you got? I work for a mitsubishi dealer so may be able to shed sone light

hi e reply the fault code that I had was PO 340.and I was told this was the camshaft position sensor,which was changed but the vehicle is still in limo mode,any help would be much appreciated

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for half an hour or so, this used to reset the ECU on the older Mitsis, could be worth a shot?

tried disconnecting for 24 hrs but no good.does the car need to plugged into the main computer at a Mitsubishi dealer to reset the ecu?

Sorry I took a while to get back to you.

P0340 is indeed camshaft position sensor

Try these steps

Connector of the camshaft sensor should be a 3 pin sensor. In the steps below, pin one is on the left as you look from behind the wiring plug (where the wires go in)

Check voltage at pin 2 of its connector and an earth, should be around 5v

Next check pin 3 and should be also around 5v

Then check resistance between pin 2 and earth should have continuity (no resistance)

If all those steps are ok you could do with scoping the output with an oscilloscope to rule out a pick up fault but it would normally suggest a faulty sensor.

If you fall down at any of those steps (like you haven't got 5v at a pin) come back to me and I'll see where we go from there

Hi thanks for the reply but still have a problem,on further investigation discovered that the camshaft had broken by no4 cylinder.trying to fit new inlet camshaft but cant find any info as how to set the pickup ring that goes on the end of the cam,there are no markings on the cam.if the engine is at tdc how do you know where to fit the ring.any help greatly appreciated

This is all I could find on inlet cam installation, couldn't see anything specifically related to the sensors pick up ring, so hopefully this will make sense to whoever is building it up.

>>G<< INLET CAMSHAFT/DOWEL PIN/C-SPRING/SUB GEAR/WAVE WASHER/SNAP RING INSTALLATION


1.Fix the inlet camshaft hexagonal area using a vice or other devices.



2.Press fit the dowel pin into the inlet camshaft and sub gear so that the dimension becomes as shown in the figure.



3.After contacting the C-spring with the dowel pin as shown in the figure, set to the inlet camshaft.



4.Set the sub gear to the inlet camshaft so that the sub gear dowel pin is inside the A range between the C-spring and inlet camshaft dowel pin as shown in the figure.

5.Assemble the wave washer and the snap ring to the inlet camshaft.




>>H<< INLET CAMSHAFT ASSEMBLY INSTALLATION

.Fix the hexagonal area of inlet camshaft assembly using a vice or other devices.



2.
caution Avoid turning the sub gear than necessary.

Set the flange bolts (M6 x 20) to 2 locations of sub gear. Then, using a screwdriver, turn the sub gear clockwise until the sub gear hole (M8) and the threaded hole (M6) of inlet camshaft gear match as shown in the figure.




3.Temporarily fix the sub gear using the bolt (M6 x 20). At this time, screw in until the bolt head is in contact with the sub gear.
4.Remove the 2 flange bolts (M6 x 20) installed in the step 2.
5.Remove from the vice or other devices the inlet camshaft assembly to which the sub gear being temporarily fixed. Then, apply the engine oil to the cam face, journal section, thrust face, and gear teeth face of inlet camshaft assembly.



6.Set the timing mark of the inlet camshaft assembly and exhaust camshaft in the position shown in the illustration.

Hi mate,thanks for the reply ,on the other end of the inlet cam there is a interference fit ring with 4 lugs,one being a double lug,which is for the camshaft position sensor but I cannot find any info as to the position for this ring on the cam,as the old and new cam have no marks
