OBD-II Code
P0367
Severity
Not yet reviewed
Nobody on our side has assessed this code yet, so we are not going to guess at how serious it is.
Can you drive it
We cannot say
Treat it as unknown until a shop reads it with live data. If the check-engine light is FLASHING, stop driving as soon as it is safe to — that means an active misfire, whatever the code.
Indicative cost (USD)
$120–$2,400
From this code's diagnostic notes. Varies by vehicle, diagnosis, parts, and local labor. This is not a repair quote.
P0367 indicates the camshaft position sensor B (exhaust cam on dual-VVT engines) on bank 1 is showing range or performance issues — the signal is present but doesn't match the expected pattern relative to the crankshaft position and the intake cam sensor.
How a shop works this
Work from evidence to part, not the other way round. A code names a circuit or a symptom; it does not name the part that failed.
Note every code that is set, not just this one.
Codes that appear together usually narrow the cause faster than any one of them read alone.
Read the freeze frame — the conditions the fault was recorded under.
Cold or warm, idle or load, road speed and engine speed. A fault that only appears cold is a different fault from one that only appears under load, even with the same code on the scanner.
Confirm the fault is current rather than history.
Clear the code and see whether it returns under those same conditions. A code that does not come back may have been logged during a repair, a flat battery, or a bad connection that has since been disturbed.
Then follow the diagnostic notes further down this page, in the order they are written.
They are written in the order a shop works this code, cheapest checks first. Where they name a component, inspect its wiring and connector before replacing it.
If the code comes back after a repair, the underlying fault is still there. That is the point to bring in a scanner with live data and freeze-frame, or a shop that has one.

P0367 indicates the camshaft position sensor B (exhaust cam on dual-VVT engines) on bank 1 is showing range or performance issues — the signal is present but doesn't match the expected pattern relative to the crankshaft position and the intake cam sensor. On dual-VVT engines (intake cam = sensor A, exhaust cam = sensor B), this code points to the exhaust cam sensor circuit on the firing-order #1 cylinder bank.
Diagnostic ladder
- scan tool to read live cam position data and compare commanded versus actual exhaust cam angle (commanded and actual should track within 2 degrees under steady-state).
- If the actual angle is drifting or pegged, the cause is usually upstream of the sensor — a worn timing chain, a failing exhaust VVT solenoid, or a clogged oil control valve screen.
- Replace the sensor only after eliminating timing-chain stretch.
- Caveat: P0367 commonly logs after an oil change with the wrong viscosity — VVT systems are exquisitely sensitive to oil viscosity, and a 5W-30 in a spec-0W-20 engine will throw cam timing codes immediately, especially when cold.

Toyota 2GR-FE V6 dual VVT-i (Camry, Avalon, Sienna, RAV4, Highlander, 2007-2017) — bank-1 exhaust cam sensor failure or, more often, the bank-1 exhaust VVT-i oil control valve clogged with sludge. Mazda Skyactiv 2.5L PY-VPS (CX-5, Mazda6, 2014+) — timing chain stretch on bank 1 throws P0367 by 120K miles. Hyundai/Kia Theta II 2.4L GDI (Sonata, Optima, Sorento, 2011-2018) — exhaust cam sensor failure on bank 1 paired with the well-known Theta rod bearing recall. Ford Cyclone 3.5L V6 (Edge, Explorer, Taurus, 2011-2017) — timing chain stretch on bank 1 (front of engine) throws P0367 first; full chain replacement is a 12-15 hour job.
