!997 Mercury Sable CamShaft position Sensor
My 1997 Sable has a wierd problem. MIL light On, The only Code P0340
stored scanned at autozone. Problem Intermitant no shift out of 1st, and no overdrive. I understand how the ECM not understanding or getting RPM info could cause shifting issues, I would think if I had Transmission solenoid or Valve issues it would store a code in the 07 range. Any input appreciated before I go off to the local ford dealer for the "FORD TREATMENT" |

An OBD2 only scan tool will only pull up OBD2 related codes, transmissions are not part of the OBD2 protocol. |

Correct answer. Autozoo uses an Actron 9135 which as you say, can't read manufacturer-specific codes. The model 9145 can and will, which is why it costs twice as much. Anyhow, this is the Ford-Specifc DTC for that make/model/year car: Camshaft Position Sensor A Bank 1 Curcuit Malfunction Lg >.
