P0378Timing Reference High Resolution Signal 'B' Intermittent/Erratic Pulses

P0378 means the engine control module (ECM) has detected intermittent or erratic pulses from the 'B' high-resolution timing reference signal, which is generated by the camshaft or crankshaft position sensor. The ECM uses this signal to precisely synchronize fuel injection and ignition timing, so erratic pulses can disrupt engine operation.
