This is a manufacturer-specific code. Its exact meaning can differ between makes; the definition below follows the most common usage.
What it means
P1350 is a general fault for the SGC (Cam Position) / Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation circuit: the engine control module has detected a condition it cannot classify as low, high or open, often because the fault changes during the test.

Symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Rough or unstable idle
- Hesitation or poor acceleration
- Increased fuel consumption
- Possible limp mode with reduced power
Common causes
- Damaged, chafed or corroded wiring in the SGC (Cam Position) / Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation circuit
- Corroded, loose or water-damaged connector terminals
- Failed SGC (Cam Position) / Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation component (sensor, solenoid or actuator)
- Poor ground connection for the module or component
- Faulty control module driver (rare, confirm all else first)
How to diagnose
- Read freeze frame data and note when the code set (cold start, under load, after rain)
- Inspect the SGC (Cam Position) / Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation connector for bent pins, corrosion and water; wiggle the harness with the engine running and watch live data
- Measure supply voltage and ground at the connector with the key on
- Check the signal wire for shorts to ground or battery and for continuity to the control module
- Test or substitute the SGC (Cam Position) / Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation only after wiring and connectors are confirmed good
- Clear the code and complete a drive cycle to confirm the repair
Frequently asked questions
Can I keep driving with P1350?
Usually yes for a short time, but expect reduced performance or higher fuel use. Have it diagnosed within a few days.
Will clearing P1350 fix it?
No. Clearing only erases the stored code; it returns as soon as the monitor runs again unless the cause is repaired.
