p0340 Information and Diagnostic Advice

Code p0340 basically means that the computer has sent (or thinks it has) a signal to the camshaft position sensor, but it does not see the correct signal being returned from the sensor. The most common cause of this problem is:

Camshaft Position Sensor
Wiring Problem

Other things that could be the problem:

The Computer
The Reluctor Wheel on the Camshaft

If you have this problem you will have a difficult time diagnosing what exactly is causing it. The easiest thing to do is to buy another sensor and install it. If this does not fix the problem then you should probably take it to a professional. The reason for this is it will take advanced diagnostic skills and equipment to pinpoint this problem.
