About P0368

P0368 is a generic (obd-ii standard) powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

When P0368 is stored, the module has detected a signal or supply voltage higher than the expected operating range; a bank-specific fault, meaning it applies only to one cylinder bank of a multi-bank engine; and a sensor-related fault — the reported value from the named sensor is out of spec.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

Because P0368 is a generic OBD-II code, its base definition is shared across manufacturers. The specific diagnostic steps, reference values, and repair procedures can vary by vehicle, and the TaT Diagnostic Assistant includes verified procedures submitted by working technicians.

Code Information

The powertrain control module (PCM) sets P0368 when the camshaft position (CMP) sensor 'B' (exhaust camshaft) for Bank 1 sends a signal voltage higher than the expected range. This can be caused by an open circuit, a short to power, or a failing sensor. A high CMP signal may lead to improper timing, rough running, or difficulty starting.
