C0034 Chevrolet Auto Trouble Code

C0034 Chevrolet OBD2 specifically refers to the camshaft (cam) timing. In this case, if the cam timing is over-retarded, the engine light will be illluminated and the code will be set.

The problem is caused by the variable cylinder management system switching on and off during light throttle conditions, at cruising speeds, or when driving on flat roads. The constant switching causes excessive oil consumption and the trouble codes appear when oil pressure drops to the point where it can no longer operate the VCM system.

These can range from a faulty spark plug lead, shorted kill switch or flywheel key damage.

C0034 Chevrolet Trouble Repair :

The sensors receive a 5 volt reference signal from the PCM. As pressure readings change, the sensor varies the voltage and the computer reads that to determine input.

So if you get this C0034 Chevrolet code, first check to make sure you're getting a good 5 volt reference signal at the sensor.
