error code p0345

Hello,
i run the blue driver and it shows two codes
p0345 camshaft position sensor a circuit bank 2
b1353 ignition key in circuit fault

I didnt noticed any problem with car , except sometimes from a stop when i hit the gas the car would lag/hesistate, then it drove fine.

Well.... I probably would. Seems your car is unhappy, and driving it unhappy is not good for the car and potentially you. With that in mind...

That's for the B1353 for your Mustang. It's an Instrument Cluster issue, seems, but could be the Smart Junction Box as well. Do the tests and you'll find it.

The P0345 is possibly the sensor is faulty, EXCEPT... and get this... in the case you have a bad alternator... Check out TSB-06-09-12:

And then this:

Which also indicate possible battery issues as well. Maybe even corroded terminals. And of course, the wiring and cam sensor are also to be verified good.

I know you're in Romania as evidenced by your location tag, but here in the States, the sensor is cheap at $20 or so, and so buying one for a diagnostic replacement is not a terrible idea just to get that out of the way. And if it still has the problem, then you have a spare waiting in case one of them DOES need replacement, as long as you don't lose it.

These Mustangs are really kind of high strung when it comes to their electronics and battery/alternators. Mine, if there's something not quite right, will forget her auto-up window settings and leave the windows down when they should roll back up when the battery is not good anymore. Weird symptom, and I chased everything else... nope, battery. Go figure.

Hope some of that helps, and good luck to ya!

It seems to be the part... for a 4.6L or 5.4L motor. If you have the V6, it's not. That's this one:

Very different look, seems.

Another codes came up today

p0349 camshaft position sensor A circuit intermittent bank 2
and
p1000 on board diagnostic (OBD) systems readiness test not complete

I already ordered the sensor but i have to wait 3 weeks ... Is it possible that these 2 codes be related with first ones ?

The P1000 is not anything to worry about, per se, it should go away when the other is cleared. If it persists, that'll be a trip to a dealership/scan tool to find out what's going on.

Get the other fixed, though, and this probably goes away.
