Location of camshaft position sensor bank one on a Saturn Vue xe 2.4 liter

Circuit Description
This ignition system does not use a conventional camshaft position (CMP) sensor that detects valve train position. The ignition control module (ICM) detects when #1 or #3 cylinder has fired on its compression stroke using sensing circuitry integrated within each coil. The sensing circuit detects the polarity and the strength of the secondary voltage output, the higher output is always at the event cylinder. The ICM sends a CMP signal to the engine control module (ECM) based on the voltage difference between the event and waste cylinder firing energy. This system is called compression sense ignition. By monitoring the CMP and crankshaft position (CKP) signals, the ECM can accurately time the operation of the fuel injectors. If the ECM receives an intermittent CMP signal from the ICM, the CMP Resync Counter on the scan tool will increment. When the ECM cannot use the information from the CMP signal, DTC P0340 will set.

Diagnostic Aids
• The following conditions may cause this DTC to set:
- Low resistance in both the #1 and #3 secondary ignition circuits
- High resistance in both the #4 and #2 secondary ignition circuits
- An intermittent crank signal
• An Intermittent crank signal will result in an interrupted cam signal and may set this DTC.
• To locate an intermittent problem, monitor the CMP Active Counter parameter while running the engine with a scan tool. The counter should continuously count up to 255, then reset to zero. The counter will stop counting if a fault occurs in the cam signal circuit.
If this DTC is determined to be intermittent, refer to Intermittent Conditions .

Question edited for clarity.
Question moved to model category.

As a general rule, with a laterally positioned V6 , Bank 1 is always closest to the firewall Bank 2 is closest to the headlights.

Sensor 1 is ALWAYS the one in the Exhaust Manifold, and Sensor 2 is ALWAYS the one AFTER the Catalytic converter.

bank 1 cam shaft position sensor ? you have one bank .This vehicle does not have a cam sensor . The ICM provides a synthesized cam signal to the PCM.

Bank 1 is generally the cylinder bank closest to the firewall. Bank 2 is the one closest to the radiator.
Sensor 1 is the one in the exhaust manifold.

If the OBD code says it is running lean, you find it is covered in black soot when you remove it. With the new one in, you may get a running lean code as it is burning the soot out. Reset the code, it is a false positive. Happened to me last week.

Before you replace a part you may or may not need . Why ? What code ? Does the vehicle run ? There has been a lot of confusion on these vehicles with variable valve timing , mixing up cam sensors with camshaft actuators
DTC P0008: Engine Position System Performance Bank 1

DTC P0009: Engine Position System Performance Bank 2
The presence of DTCs P0008 and P0009 along with P0016, P0017, P0018, and P0019 indicates a possible condition with the primary timing chain and the alignment between both intermediate sprockets and the crankshaft. Or, the crankshaft reluctor wheel has moved and is no longer referenced to top dead center (TDC).

?€¢
Observe the scan tool CMP Desired, Actual, and Angle Variance parameters before a DTC sets. This may help to isolate whether a condition is specific to one camshaft, one bank, or caused by a condition with the primary crankshaft timing.

I'm sorry but when dealing with these problems your best bet is to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop , I have never see a DIY'ER correct the problem with these , an in the end always end up taking it to the dealer .

Hope helps.

I had exactly the same problem .Mine was corrected with replacing the O2 sensors .The sensors cost less than $30 each but cost about 20 mins labor per sensor .So if you got an honest mechanic the total cost will be around $130 .
