Warning P0340 on my Agila

I have an Agila petrol 1.2 with approx 35000 miles on clock. How can I tell whether timing chain needs replacing or whether it is a tensioner fault or cam sensor fault? Diagnostic code is 0340 but car runs well, although oil warning light comes on when the engine is hot.

Well P 0340 is indicating that your CMP (camshaft position Sensor) is faulty
Would suggest that you check /or replace.
