Seven-passenger seating is standard, and there are several storage compartments, including a deep one below the centre-console elbow rest, and a large one under the centre console by the front occupants’ feet. Quality materials are used throughout the interior, and my leather-clad Premium test vehicle has many soft-touch surfaces and warm, welcoming tones. The interior has a more fluid and coherent design than before, with a tall centre console that makes you feel like you’re sitting deep within the vehicle. These changes have reduced fuel consumption markedly, the new Enclave FWD claiming 12.9L city and 9L highway compared with 15.7L and 10.6L respectively. The big change, however, is the addition of a start-stop function, which is standard in all trim levels, and there’s now a nine-speed automatic in place of the former six speed.

Under the hood is the same 3.6-litre V6 engine, though it gets a boost in power to 310 hp from 288, and a slight drop in torque to 266 lb.-ft.

Repairs for Error Code P0342 are usually simple and straightforward, but that is if the problem is resolved on a timely manner.This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. After which, they will retest the system until the problem is solved. They will check the charge of the battery and then test the starter motor. If there are no problems on the connections or the wirings, and the repairs don’t solve the issue, the technicians will then turn their attention to the battery. They will have to make the necessary repairs before clearing the codes and then take your 2013 Buick Enclave for a test drive and retest the system. They identify all the codes present and then conduct a visual inspection of the circuitry and wirings in the system. Open or shorted CMP sensor wiring harnessĪs with other trouble codes, mechanics diagnose this trouble code using an OBD-II scanner. There are many factors that may cause this error code, some of the most common possible causes are: Aside from that, the usual symptoms for Error Code P0342 would be: The Check Engine light will obviously be activated. Also, the code refers to the bank 1 “A” sensor, which is located on the side of the engine that contains cylinder 1. If the input is too lower than the specified range by the manufacturer, or otherwise incorrect, the PCM will not have the right amount of information to provide the proper timing for such functions.įor this instance, the Error Code P0342 suggests that the sensor signals are too low, or not strong enough, making it vague and difficult to interpret. The PCM then uses this data to provide the right strategies for the fuel delivery and ignition timing of the engine. The CMP works by sending signal to the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control module in other 2013 Buick Enclave makes) regarding its position based on how the ‘teeth’ or notches on the camshaft interrupt its magnetic field. Specifications on the definition, troubleshooting and repairs of course, vary from one make and/or model to another. It’s a generic trouble code, meaning it applies to all cars equipped with OBD-II, particularly cars made since 1996 up to present. This means the CMP (camshaft position) sensor circuit on engine bank 1 sends an irregular reading. Error Code P0342 is defined as Camshaft Position Sensor “A” Circuit Low.
