According to Allpar.com, a P0340 indicates a bad *camshaft* sensor, not a
crank position sensor.   The code will clear on its own when the problem is
resolved.  Disconnecting the battery overnight would probably be enough to
remove any codes that were stored; the code reappearing after the computer
was powered back up and the engine started means *you still have a problem*.

$100 to clear codes?  Sure it wasn't $100 to diagnose the problem?
