Fixing Honda CR-V P0341 Code

Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor and Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor Incorrect Phase Detected

Includes materials and instructions for diagnosis and full mechanical fix for 2010 Honda CR-V code P0341. Includes descriptions and diagrams for timing correction, resetting the power control module (PCM) idle learn process, and crank pattern relearn.

⚠️ Work in Progress
This guide is still being built. I’m actively working on adding:

• Photos of the engine components
• Diagrams of camshaft/crankshaft timing marks
• Scanner data screenshots
• Step-by-step instructions

Overview

This project documents how I diagnosed and successfully fixed a P0341 trouble code on a 2010 Honda CR-V.

Background

Despite replacing the timing chain, guides, tensioner, Variable Timing Control (VTC) actuator, and oil solenoid, the code persisted. Careful inspection revealed a slight timing mark misalignment at the crankshaft — a mistake that is easy to make. This guide includes:

• Symptoms I noticed
• Step-by-step diagnosis
• How I corrected the mechanical timing
• Common pitfalls
• Steps to use software to reset the PCM and complete the necessary relearn procedures
• Resources (excerpts from the service manual, photos, videos, links to helpful forums)

Importance of early detection: A mistimed engine can cause catastrophic engine damage if untreated. Do not ignore this code - get it fixed immediately.

Quick Navigation

Each section is available in its own markdown file:

• Symptoms and Warning Signs
• Diagnosis Process
• Timing Correction Procedure
• PCM Reset
• CKP Relearn
• Idle Relearn
• Lessons Learned & Common Pitfalls
• Helpful Resources
