I need some help. I have racked my brain for a week now trying to figure this out I have a p0340 p0341 p0335 codes that came up on my truck. It is a 2018 Silverado haven’t had any issues out of the truck but with I went to the car wash on Monday it was fine Tuesday got in it to go to work and felt like a brake was grabbing when the traction control comes on. It was not the case then 5 miles later the engine codes come on. I have replaced cam and crank sensors and the negative battery cable as I was told by the dealer that was the issue well it is currently still doing the same thing and has an extended crank when starting. I have checked grounds everywhere but can’t find anything wrong just asking if anyone else has had this issue and there is zero reason to believe it’s motor cause it sounds perfect.

If you replaced both sensors and checked all grounds then you left with checking the wiring harness for damage. It's not going to be fun but you need to trace the wires back through the harness to see if there are issues. You can also find a wiring diagram to test the wires from the fuse block or PCM back the sensor itself to make sure you have a good wire all the way through.

Still having the same issue after checking the grounds

 

You don't mention which grounds you checked. There are multiple grounds on these trucks. They each need to be inspected and cleaned up. Frame to body, engine to firewall, etc...

There could be a cam timing issue, if the cam and crankshaft get too far out of alignment, say stretched chain or bad chain tensioner, or bad VVT phaser, this could be the cause. If your wiring checks out, then look into that.

Still no luck with finding what’s wrong with it one dealership said the ecm could be out cause on a scanner it’s not reading anything out of the cam sensor but has 5v going to it and ground wire is fine. I did fill it up with gas shut it off went to start it back would not start said reduce engine power let it set for a little bit and started right up so I’m at a loss

Have you tried checking the cam sensor connections and wires? I have had similar issues and sometimes just cleaning the connections or rechecking the wiring fixes the problem.

      2027 GMC Sierra: Official Discussion

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      I was around and remember that era very well, so I'm calling b/s on that statement. If they were that bad no police department or taxi company would've bought a single one ... but they were used in both services (and fire) for DECADES. They were bulletproof and proven. Even the early 21st century ones weren't too bad! The early models were legendary.   Mine is proof, but people like atlas are blinded by agenda and refuse to believe facts right before their very eyes.   Even decades after they were built, a new generation started driving them, posting all their builds and shenanigans on Grandmarq.net and Crownvic.net. The failures would show up then, since they all were deep past 100k-150k miles by that point, and younger drivers tend to be a little aggressive, especially with vehicles than can lay a one-tire fire for as long as you hold your foot in it. They've more than proven themselves over the decades.   The only thing that'll really take them out is road salt. The bodies and sheet metal were garbage. A victim of the cheapout FoMoCo and GM have been partaking in before then, and since.   Today it's the stuff that counts - the undercarriage that rots away first!    GMs Caprice was no slouch either. Reliable as a stone ax - the opposite of what they build now.

      Let me know how your vehicles do in 10 years. You don't know ******, kid. 😂    There's a reason that Panther platform was used as police, fire, and taxi service for DECADES ... long before you were born, apparently.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      If your connector also has a big lever to get the connector on and off, you don't want to force the lever either way, as it becomes a bigger problem if you bust the lever or the mechanism it works.

      Disconnecting Battery

      By davester · Posted

      It's just useful to disconnect the battery to prevent odd shorting out when unplugging/plugging stuff together.  I also  touch the two cable ends together (after disonnecting) to drain the small amount of stored battery energy in various modules.   I believe the main system where you need to be more concerned with, so you need to do the above and then wait some time, iss when you are working on the air bag system, to prevent inadvertent firing of the air bags.   The in-cab switches are just that, plain switches, it's generally not a problem to swap them in/out.  For my '12, I'll get an error message on the dash if I power up the truck w them unplugged, but that's it (power up= turn the ignition on).   The ITBC located above the spare tire is a computer that manages the trailer brake system.  That is probably more important to have the battery disconnected.  It does have to be programmed to the truck, either before or after it's installed, for it to work.  For my '12, I had a very hard time reinstalling the main connector to it (IDK if yours is the same or not), it turned out the silicon seal was jamming up, preventing it from going on all the way.  I finally got it fully installed by lubing the seal with a bit of dielectric grease, then it slid on and latched in place easily.

      Remote Start Noise 2024 2500 HD Gas

      By BCGM · Posted

      JR ! I just got the truck back from the Dealership today . The technician did a cold remote start on the truck this morning and it made the noise . It was determined that it was a starter issue and replaced it under warranty . Of course   it did not make the sound after a new starter was put in because the truck was not cold . We will we see what happens tomorrow morning when I start the truck cold  . Keep tuned !   Oh I found a video on YouTube of a cold start and it did the same thing your truck and mine do , I will see if I can find it and post it up
