Help! Code P0348 Trying to figure out which sensor or sensors that are "bank 2". I'm a first time Tacoma owner, so all this is new to me. I

HELLO EVERYONE, LOOKING FOR SOME HELP. MY CODE READER GAVE ME THIS. Looking on some forums and searches, I believe the sensor I need to check is the camshaft position sensor "bank 2". I'm not sure which one that is. One video tells me it's accessible from the passenger side, removing splash guard and reaching it from the wheel-well. Another DIY site mentions 4 more sensors accessed from the top of the motor, 2 on passenger side and 2 on the driver side of the motor. Can anyone shed some light on which ones to look at first? I really want to avoid taking it to the Toyota Dealer. Thanks everyone!

What were the symptoms that lead you to check the codes? Anything aside from the Check Engine Light?

@RevN3 is already in here, but his earlier thread may also be of interest to you @bpoifvet and the topic at hand.

P0348 – Camshaft position (CMP) sensor A, bank 2 -high input

Anyone dealt with this one? CEL and "Traction Control Disabled" popped up at the same time. I've reset the codes and had a look in the engine bay but nothing seems amiss. I did go through a LOT of puddles last weekend out in the woods. Also had a "Maintenance required soon" message come up...

@bpoifvet you may also want to reference this for the location of the sensors you're enquiring about.

Yeah, if it's the same as happened to me you will want to avoid the dealership. $500 for a patch job that took 15 minutes. I'd be willing to do a zoom session to have a look

No symptoms , Just the check engine light. it came on this morning when i got in the truck to go to work. Even driving it today, still no symptoms or nothing abnormal

I'd be willing to do a zoom session. We can plan a time to do that. I made an appointment for the dealer, but if we can troubleshoot it and find the issue I can change the sensor.

If there's no symptoms then I would do some more research and investigation on your part before you take it into the dealer. As soon as it hits the lot you'll have to open your wallet.

I didnt find anything when i looked. So i took it in, apparently rodents chewed through the engine wire harness... told me to file a comprehensive claim with the insurance company. 6000 parts and labor

WOW! I thought I was overcharged with $500. Actually they charged $489 and my deductible was $500. I assume it was because they didn't want insurance involvement questioning what they were doing. I don't go to that shop anymore. Fuck Lithia.

You know, it would be nice if Toyota stopped using wiring insulation that rodents find delicious.

I tried that and found it to be ineffective for rats. Traditional traps, hot glue a bit of dry dog food to it. That got them every time

 

[bpoifvet]

Good advice. I'll keep that in mind. I wonder if there are any ways to help make the truck more rodent resistant.....
