Hello All, I have posted in the past and I figured it is easier to post a new post with what U have done and it going on. I am still having the P0342 code popping up preventing me from getting my daughters truck emissions.

 

I have done the following:

-Replaced CanShaft Sensor OEM

-Replaced Crankshaft Sensor

-Jumped all thre wires back to the PCM (verified circuit)-New Battery

-New Cam Shaft Sensor Harness

-New Battery

-Triple checked wiring

 

Upon checking the wiring I got 12 volts, ground, low voltage ref and I do not throw a code if I start it and leave it in park. It does not even throw a pending code. As soon as I take it out of park it throws the P0342 code as pending. So I went and checked the wiring with it out of park and I get 12 volts, ground, and low voltage goes to zero out of park. So I went and disconnected the Park neutral switch on the transmission and wow the code went away even in gear. So I went and bought a new Park Switch and installed it. Plugged it back in and there is the code again. If I leave it unplugged it will not throw a code and runs great. So we were just going to leave it unplugged to get it through emissions. 6 days later we get a random P0341 code so I plug it back in and it goes away but the P0342 code came back on.

 

With the transmission switch unplugged it runs but throws a random P0341 code but with it plugged in it throws a P0342 every time it comes out of park. This thing is driving me nuts. I bought the All Data info on it and it says the plug on the transmission should all be 12 volts but when I test them I only get 5 volts. I am thinking the issue might be with a low voltage course somewhere but I have no clue a this point. I am at a loss.

 

Can someone please help me out with another thing to look at and get me started again. It is nuts that it will go away if I unplug the tranny sensor (only thought to do it since it only pops pending in gear including Neutral). I think the issue is something simple once I find it. Right now I have no clue where to go to next. We do not have the money to pay a dealer 600 dollars to diagnose it. Thank you for your patience.

      GM Hard Folding Tonneau by REV review

      This is a really late reply but I just found this thread. They won't sell the hinges. I've gone 7 rounds with them. Their solution is to buy a new cover. I'm about to buy a new cover and it won't be a Bakflip. It also won't be from realtruck.com.

      2 speed transfer case optional now?

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Yes, and also pulling heavy trailers or a large camper up steep grades as well as descending grades such as the more rustic off road camping locations and using engine braking with that low gearing as well as soft ground can just suck the power . I realize pickups these days tend to have an over all lower first gear ratio compared to automatic transmission pickups from years back so that has helped a lot in its ability in high range but there comes a point if in four wheel drive the torque runs out at the wheels, certainly with a gas engine. They don't put two speed transfer cases on pickups for a cool factor, they have a function if one needs that massive torque to the wheels that high range can't deliver.

      Notes 7/18/2026   3,400 miles on this batch of Mobil 1 Euro 5W40 since the GDI pump replacement. Alcohol runs very clean when ring seal is tight and the sump isn't getting hosed with fuel. Checked oil level at fill up today as is my practice and grabbed a white Kleenex to look at the color. What color?  I was going to change it but.....

      Gas Prices

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Interesting, I suspect I would have fueled up in Lee Vining as the day prior I would have filled up either in Laughlin or near there and maybe again before I entered Death Valley and once out the other side late that evening as I kept on driving into the night up near Lee Vining. Next morning I most likely fueled up in LV before heading over Tioga Pass into ( as I refer to it as "Yose .... Mite" 😁 ). And again that was 19 years ago but the price then must not have jumped out at me like the 5 bill a gallon theme of nutty cult hippy country Big Sir or head so far up their rear Aspen. I'd be curious to know where the highest prices are in the lower 48, I probably would not be far off to guess somewhere in Cali forn ie. Coldfoot and Prudhoe bay may have those prices beat but that is a whole other world up there and when prices are more normal elsewhere that is about what they can be up there I believe in no mans land. Anyway interesting that the 395 corridor is hosing people and the thing is, its tourist season and its not like there are a lot of competition options when driving up that highway from what I could see. Yup, big ole Boaterhomes and various other RV's ahead and behind me at the Yosemite entrance gate and they have to get their fuel somewhere.
