P1341
No triggering of the actuator, active position nevertheless.
– Short to ground
– Actuator faulty
Triggering of the actuator, no active position – Open circuit in triggering wire
– Open circuit in B+ supply
– Actuator faulty
No active or passive position is detected
– Actuator faulty

Comes down to wiring or actuator.

So could this be the Cam Position Sensor itself? Not possible, not likely? Would that be throwing a separate/additional code if so, or would that just fall under the "Open circuit in triggering wire" part of the 1341 code?

Thanks a lot for the reply Mike, I've used your site many many times BTW!!

Update

Just wanted to share this update for anyone else who may be researching this issue. I've taken the car to a local shop and received the following diagnosis:

"Tech states that camshafts on bank are adjusting, at 3000 RPM there is 10 degree difference in cam timing between bank one and two. Oil filter contains traces of trash/debris, possible timing chain issue. Will need to remove oil sump cover and cam covers to inspect timing chains"
