how do you clear a trac off and check engine light after installing a new camshaft sensor

 

Honestly a code like that should clear itself if it repaired itself.

How did you get the code in the first place?

Most areas have facebook groups that you can ask a neighbor for a scanner to clear the code for you.

 

i had a p0348 code i replace the infamous camshaft position sensor/crank sensor

 

Autozone will clear the code for you free.

 

Buy a code reader that can clear them. You can use it for twenty years.

 

You can also disconnect the battery for a few minutes and it'll reset everything.

 

Stupid lights are still one but I bought a scanner. Should be here Friday. Funny thing is truck runs fine

 

Did you get a scanner that will clear or read only?

 

The one I bought will do both

 

Ok I can't clear the code. Even after replacing the sensor. I'm wondering if I got the wrong one. My truck still runs fine. Any suggestions before I take it in to the dealership

 

Did you reuse the old o-rings? Did you fully seat the sensor and check torque?

 

I used the new one. Im going to check it again when I get home

 

7 ft-lbs is the factory torque on the install...

 

what is the code that is throwing?

 

P0304

 

P348

 

P0304 is a misfire code. Did you maybe hit the harness or pull off any other connectors?

 

My fault p0348

 

Autozones scanners are unable to clear codes for you unless they invested in different ones. Source: Used to work at VatoZone

 

You can’t clear the code, or it comes back after clearing? Two different things.

if you can’t clear the code, 3 complete driving cycles of, (off / cold, drive until engine up to temp, off cool down) will clear most engine codes if it’s the error is not seen again during any of the cycles.
Or explain what you’re doing with the tool / make model and maybe someone can help.

Clearing the code and it comes back is a problem with the sensor / install or harness. Get a multimeter and follow the manual for checking sensor.
