Searching around the internet, I have found the ODB code P1340 can possible be a cylinder #8 ignition coil/firing problem OR a camshaft sensor problem. Which is correct?

 

Welcome to the forum LTowner;

P1340 is related to the Cam Position Sensor

Thanks for the quick feedback, obviously the check engine light is on, but it is confusing because the CHECK VSC warning text and TRACTION OFF warning light are on as well. Very confusing!!

 

I'm not sure if I'm missing something but i have the exact same problem and I'm not sure which to replace? i also have the P1340 code(check engine light) and VSC (Vehicle Stability Control light) and TCS (Taction Control System light)

 

P1340 is the cam sensor.
Both the cam sensor and the ignition coil can be checked if you have a multimeter. All the specifics you need are available on the internet.
Also, when an ignition coil fails a P35X code is generated. 353 points to coil #3, 358 points to #8, etc.

 

after swapping coil pack #8 (passenger rear) with #2 (passenger front) the code came back. So it’s not the coil. Upon looking up the code it says
“P1340 LEXUS Code
Camshaft Position
Sensor
'A' Bank 1
Sensor 2
can anyone tell me where this sensor is located.
