Hyundai i10 Malfunction Indicator (MIL)

AdrianC

The engine uses sensors to detect the position of the camshafts to know when to fire the spark, and also to keep an eye on the general health. It's seen a dodgy signal from one of those sensors, and logged it. The light's gone out because there's been a certain number of engine starts without having the fault repeated, but the code has been kept for diagnostic tracking.

It might just be a one-off. It might be the start of a failing sensor or poor connection somewhere. Wait and see...

the fact you started and stopped the car caused an ovefuelling issue flagged by the ecu i would guess
if you did it often it would cause bore wash
most modern cars dont like being stopped and started like this as its akin to running the car on full choke
most cars can cope with this but it would appear a finely crafted hyundai i10 cant
dont move car next time let person who wants to park behind you find an alternative parking spot;)

I suspect this is utter cobblers.

There is an element of possibility in it though.

If the fault-code had been related to the pre-cat lambda, or over-fuelling, or something - yes.

But not a cam position sensor fault.

So, garage have diagnosed Historic code P0365 Camshaft Position Sensor "B(Exhaust)" Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1)

is a generic code and is a guide not a fact
