Hello.

I'm french,i have this trouble code; P0340 in my bmw E46.

I have read this on; http://www.obd-codes.com/p0340

A code P0340 could mean one or more of the following has happened:

a wire or connector in the circuit could be grounded/shorted/broken
the camshaft position sensor may have failed
the PCM may have failed
there exists an open circuit
the crankshaft position sensor may have failed



But what is "PCM" ????

Thanks a lot guys :wink:
