Manufacturer-specific interpretation for VAG. All interpretations of P1338
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Camshaft position (CMP) sensor, Bank 1 circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Camshaft Position Sensor (G40) circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17746. Documented stored variants include: Open or Short to Plus. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
