Know the Code!
Without further information?!!
Ya Can't believe the Check Engine light until
the System Voltage in a Motor Home or other is correct;
Too High, the Alternator Voltage Regulator is Bad or Too Low because, something (left on) is draining the system voltage down
or Bad Battery connection.

Always, Check the Starting Battery for 12.6 Volts (disconnected) first before coming to any real conclusions.
Reconnect Battery AND Check for 14.0+/- .02 Volts running
all systems OFF.
IF LESS THAN 12.6 and or LESS THAN 14.0+/- .02 Volts running
Check the Alternator, is it making a Low pitched whistle sound?
Is the Alternator Hot or is it Cold?
Hot=Low system voltage
Warm=operating normally
Cold=Not working at All
Low pitched whistle sound=Charging (System voltage too low).

After start/Shut off a few times as well as running a while as you normally would drive, Check all Low voltage connections around the starting Battery for warmth, those that are warm are High Resistance and either need a bigger Cable or the connection Cleaned or replaced.

IF ALL IS WELL:
NEXT, Disconnect all Batteries for 20 minutes and reconnect
This will remove the Code, Drive and see if the code comes
back.

If the code comes back, read on...

Check the work of the last service done, Done right?
Or is it time for a Tune up?

All the above are things you can check without tools
and should be on your everyday check list (Right below the line that says check Battery fluid levels) before taking your Motor Home anywhere!

Diesel; I'd say the fuel pump timing is off as programed in the
Fuel pump Program control Module (FPCM) Either
Reprogram, Reprogram by Disconnecting Fuse for an
hour or Replace Module.
Possible low Lift Pump pressure, wrong Fuel filter/
dirty Fuel Filter. Crank Shaft Sensor... Same as Gas

Gas; I'd say the Valve timing chains need to be replaced
if high mileage or a Bad camshaft position sensor or
Crank shaft sensors. The Sensors are like a CD player
optical pickups, which need be cleaned from time to
time (Use a soft lens cleaning cloth). Remove a Sensor,
clean the Crank shaft Harmonic balancer 360 Deg
and slide cloth between the sensor position and the
crank shaft. Gently Clean the Sensor and reinstall.


Dodge and Chevy have front and Rear Crank Shaft Sensors.


You NOW, Know the Code?


What the P0341 code means. P0341 is an OBD-II generic code that says the engine control module (ECM) detected the engine camshaft position sensor circuit is not within specifications. The sensor pulses do not correlate to the pulses of the crankshaft sensor.


Error Code P0342 is defined as Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit Low. This means the CMP (camshaft position) sensor circuit on engine bank 1 sends an irregular reading. It's a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all vehicles equipped with OBD-II, particularly vehicles made since 1996 up to present.

P0343 trouble code definition. A P0343 trouble code is related to a vehicle's timing system and the camshaft position sensor that monitors the rotation of the camshaft to relay data to the engine computer so it can calculate the appropriate amount of fuel and ignition.


P0344 code definition. Diagnostic trouble code (DTC) P0344 is a generic powertrain DTC that covers all makes and models of vehicles manufactured starting in 2003. This code occurs when an incoming signal from the camshaft position sensor (or sensors) is missing at one point or another when it should not be.Dec 21, 2018


Crankshaft position is used to inform the Engine Control Module (ECM) of when it is time to spark and deliver fuel. ... Trouble code P0345 is set whenever the ECM does not sense crankshaft pulses or senses a problem with the pulses in the output with Sensor "A" Bank 2.Aug 1, 2018

Power loss on my 2001 Newmar Mountain aire. Inverter light on control panel is flashing

Check for fuses connecting the inverter. There are typically two visible on the exterior (20 or 30 amp blade style). If either or both are blown, you will get faults. Something else you may want to check is the incoming voltage. Power surges and voltage drops in L1 or L2 of the 50 Amp shore power could also give inverter faults.

I have a Xantrex RV2012 in a 2006 Newmar Ventana motorhome. When plugged in its always searching for AC when you disconnect battery cables to reset it seems to work fine. What could be the problem.

Use a multimeter to check the input AC voltage (110-125VAC), the fuse(s) for the DC out and the voltage (12-13.8VDC). Have the batteries disconnected when doing this and check the battery voltage(s).

If your batteries have low voltage and the output is into correct range, you may have dead cells. This has been my findings on many units, which means battery replacement. Make sure your get a MARINE DEEP CELL or DEEP CYCLE battery, not a regular car battery. Clean out replace the battery terminals well when installing new ones and use the battery terminals grease that it should come with liberally for future corrosion protection.

If your input voltage does not match the voltage coming from the shore power connection, check the continuity of your power cable.

If your input voltage is in the proper range but the output voltage is not, your inverter may be faulty and in need of repair or replacement.
