Fault code scanner- HELP

[HughJarse]

Apologies if this is wrong section but ..............
Only my second post - dont why I do things like this but Ive only owned my w203 c180k for a week and I bought a fault code scanner.
The scanner says that I have fault codes
4311 Cam communication with engine system is faulty
4312 Cam communication system with engine is faulty or engine temperature is implausible


What does this mean????
Have i bought a dud??


I had been for a 20 mile drive. Came home waited 15 minutes, then started engine and plugged in.

Is my car broken???

Does it not have a letter in front of the code.

I do not recognise the code as you have stated it.

What code reader model and type number are you using ?

Hi thanks for the reply. Theres no letters, sorry.
Its this one

Thing is theres no errors on the dashboard, and as far as i know the cars running ok. Im not averaging fantastic mpg - about 31.
To be honest i think its a case of ¨I should have left it alone¨

Do you think I should clear the code and see if it comes back?

I think the code is CAN not CAM. This referes to the control network that interconnects all the modules around the car. Just erase the codes and try it after a few days.

Most cars have several stored codes but after a few sucessful starts they are taken out of the active list and stored for reference.

Thanks for that, you are correct it is CAN.
Ill erase now and see what happens.

I like this forum already - thanks for your time with the replies.
