I have a 5.3l Gen III 24x engine with a Gen IV cam installed. I Switched to a LS2 style 1x cam sprocket and front timing cover with the LS2 cam sensor to make the cam work. Now I get a P0343 error every time it is fired. Is there a way to check for cam sensor signal in the Scanner?
I have been hearing about several people having this issue lately and 2 out of 3 times it was the sprocket causing the problem. On two the clearance space was not correct between the cam and the sensor, and a differnt (brand?) cam sprocket fixed it. The third persons issue was with the wiring adapter that came with the LS2 cover. I just put a 24x 5.3 with LS9 cam in my TBSS before I sold it, and didnt have the issue. Does yours use that little adapter clipped to the cover? If so are the contacts clean and not bent?
Im sorry I dont think the scanner can do that, I think your goona need a Tech 2? Someone ellse will correct me if Im wrong.

Did you flip the 2 wires that need changing? If you didnt use an aftermarket harness that did it already you have to flip 2 wires to make it work with ls1 pcm.
