What P0367 means
Camshaft position sensor B is the exhaust camshaft sensor (bank 1 = side with cylinder 1), usually a Hall sensor on the exhaust cam phaser. The engine module holds the signal line at about 5 V and the sensor pulls it to ground with each tooth. P0367 means the line stays low without edges – typically a short to ground of the signal wire or a sensor shorted internally. A code-specific manufacturer description exists only from GM: on the Saab 9-4X 2.8 turbo V6 (LAU) the signal must stay low without pulses for more than 1 s, or 10 s cumulatively, after more than 10 crank revolutions and below 2,520 rpm, and the code follows after two trips; with the sensor disconnected the signal wire should show 4.8–5.2 V. GM's other engines of 2014–2019 and Ford report such faults under P0365. The consequence is as for P0365: exhaust cam timing in its base position, longer cranking.
P0367 at a glance
- Check engine lightYes, usually on
- Emissions testCan fail
- Limp modePossible
- Repair difficultyEasy, DIY possible
- Typical labor0.3 to 1.5 hours
- Clears after repairAfter a drive cycle
Symptoms of P0367
- Check engine light on
- Longer cranking before the engine starts
- Loss of power or rough idle (exhaust cam timing in its base position)
Common causes of P0367
- Most likelySignal wire chafed through to ground
- PossibleSensor shorted internally
- PossibleOil or water in the connector
- Less likelyEngine module
Check the most likely causes first. Replacing parts by guesswork is the most expensive way to clear a code.

What each part of P0367 means
| P | Powertrain system: engine, fuel system, ignition, emissions and transmission. |
| 0 | Generic code: it means the same on every make (SAE standard). |
| 3 | Area: ignition system or misfire. |
| 67 | The exact fault in that area. |
What to do next
- Note P0367 and any other codes stored with it: several codes together often point to one cause.
- Check for loose connectors and damaged wiring around the parts the code names.
- Check open recalls for your car: some faults are fixed for free by the dealer. Enter your VIN.
- Clear the code only after the repair. If it comes back, the fault is still there.
Buying a used car? Scan it for stored codes before you pay. A recently cleared memory can hide a problem.
Questions about P0367
What does P0367 mean?
P0367 means "Camshaft Position Sensor B Circuit Low Bank 1". Camshaft position sensor B is the exhaust camshaft sensor (bank 1 = side with cylinder 1), usually a Hall sensor on the exhaust cam phaser. It is a generic code, so it means the same on every make.
Is it safe to drive with P0367?
Drive gently and only to a workshop. With P0367 the car can go into limp mode (reduced power) to protect itself.
Will P0367 fail an emissions test?
Yes, it can. P0367 is emissions-related, so most inspection programs fail a car while it is stored or while the check engine light is on.
How hard is P0367 to fix?
Difficulty: easy. A typical repair takes 0.3 to 1.5 hours of work. A careful DIY repair is possible with basic tools and a scanner.
Will P0367 clear itself after the repair?
After the repair the car has to complete a drive cycle (a mix of city and highway driving) before the test runs again. Until then the readiness monitor shows "not ready", which can fail an inspection.
