My previous x reg 2.2 cdx omega , which I have just sold on fleabay, jump started it after a 5 week rest and now the spanner light is coming on after a few mins aaaaaarrrrrrggggghhhh :'( . This is hopefully going to be the cam sensor and I can get one today otherwise sale is going south.
Anyone had anything similar? Is it because battery was flat? :-/
Pedal test does not work, access to code reader later

more than likely your fault codes will be low voltage errors,try a reset with a code reader but note what codes are present,pedal test doesn't work on a 2.2

Codes from mac tools et97 reader
p0343 Cam Pos sensor high input
poo47 super charger boost control circuit low
p0047 keeps repeating after reset - didnt know i had one, looked under bonnet and cant find it :D :D :D :D :D
am i right just low voltage. battery on charge
Some vauxhall not know it all has told my buyer that the alternator is foobar and not to buy unless replaced
Think this sale is half way down the M6

Cam sensor is a frequent failure on those engines (does it take longer than usual to start?) but I wouldn't trust those codes. Looks like that reader has been thoroughly confused by this ECU. Supercharger, indeed!
I would check it on another code reader before replacing any parts, TBH.

Thanks Kevin
Starts on the button, although pulls away quite "slugish" compared to the current one. Could have always been like that though
A bit stuck as sorn'ed and no ins on it so cant get it anywhere. Managed to borrow this reader from friendly usual mech

Generic OBD Error Code Details for P0343
Camshaft Position Sensor "A" Circuit High
What does this mean?
OBD Code P0343refers to
The Camshaft Position Sensor is an electronic device used in an engine to record the rate at which the camshaft is spinning. This information is used by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module(ECM) to control ignition and fuel injection. The camshaft position sensor senses the retraction of camshaft (intake) to identify a particular cylinder. The camshaft position sensor senses the piston position. The sensor system consists of a rotating part, typically a disc, as well as a static part, the actual sensor. When the engine is running, the high and low parts of the teeth cause the gap with the sensor to change. The changing gap causes the magnetic field near the sensor to change. The change in the magnetic field cause the voltage from the sensor to change. When the crankshaft position sensor (POS) system becomes inoperative, the camshaft position sensor provides various controls of engine parts instead, utilizing timing of cylinder identification signals.
Symptoms
Possible sumptoms of OBD code P0343
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) - Lack/Loss of Power - Engine Stall
Causes
Possible causes of OBD code P0343
- Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted) - Camshaft position sensor may be faulty - Camshaft (Intake) may be damage - Starter motor may be faulty - Starting system circuit - Dead (Weak) battery The Error code is generally activated on detection of the following conditions: - The camshaft position sensor signal sent to the ECM is too high
Possible Solutions
- Charge battery - Repair harness or connector - Replaced Camshaft Position Sensor.
