3.5L? Not sure if it will help but I have attached a pdf file for P0340 diagnostics.
Also found this:
All model vehicles built 1/17/2008 thru 5/16/2008 equipped with a 3.5L or 4.0L engine which are setting a P0344/P0340 DTC above 3000 RPM may have a camshaft drive gear tone ring separation issue occurring. The tone ring may be completely separated from the sprocket or still attached, but not parallel to the sprocket causing runout. Inspect the camshaft drive gear tone ring for proper alignment. If the drive gear tone ring exhibits one of the two defects, then replace the component.

You need to remove the entire fascia, see attached file.

Here is the booster description:
The power brake booster is mounted to the engine side of the dash panel. The master cylinder is bolted to the front of the booster. A vacuum check valve is also mounted on the front of the booster. A vacuum line connects the check valve to engine source vacuum. The booster input rod extends through the dash panel and connects to the brake pedal. This vehicle uses a tandem diaphragm, single rate vacuum power brake booster with 203 and 229 mm (8 and 9 in.) diaphragms. Power brake boosters are internally tuned differently depending on whether the vehicle is equipped with ABS or without ABS.
Attached file shows the main parts of the booster, 2nd file includes some diagnostics that you can try.

Jazz Blue will not be available until near the end of the model year. Production launch is scheduled for late May, 2016. Ordering will not open until early May.

That's just by the description group in the VIN database, as the Crossroads are definitely separate models (body codes JCDR49 and JCER49).
One cannot order a "Crossroad" package on an SXT.
Journey Canada body codes:
JOURNEY CVP/SE PLUS (FWD) JCDH49
JOURNEY SXT/LIMITED (FWD) JCDP49
JOURNEY CROSSROAD (FWD) JCDR49
JOURNEY CROSSROAD (AWD) JCER49
JOURNEY R/T (AWD) JCES49
JOURNEY R/T RALLYE (AWD) JCEX49

It's an optional package ($995), available only on the SXT.

I was referring to Canada, and my information is 100% correct. The 2016 SXT with Blacktop package is and has been available to order. The web site has wrong information (not unusual).

Already arriving to dealers. The 2015s ended production on 7/24/15 and the 2016s started production on 7/27/15.

I wouldn't be in any sort of rush to order on Canada Day, a savvy negotiator will be able to get a similar deal a month from now, or many months from now. If the Blue is very important to you, then I would wait it out. I should be able to get the launch information ahead of the launch so that you can get your order in at the earliest possible date.

I won't know if there will be any model restrictions on colours until the information is officially released. It could be a couple months, or several months or more into the model year. The problem with ordering one now with the intent to change the colour when released may not work out - as once a vehicle hits a production scheduling point (usually 'D1' status) the colour typically cannot be changed.

I checked and there is no production start dates listed yet for the 2 new colors. I will make a note and post back when I get the information. They are both DEFINITELY going to be offered in Canada.

Two new colors: Jazz Blue and Olive Green.
2016 is a full model years, ending July 2016.

1.With the ignition switch in any position except On or Start, buckle the driver side front seat belt.
2.Turn the ignition switch to the On position and wait for the seatbelt indicator reminder function to conclude (about six seconds).
3.Unbuckle and buckle the driver side front seat belt three or more times, ending with the belt buckled.
4.Turn the ignition switch to any position except On or Start to toggle the BeltAlert feature from its current setting (from active to inactive, or from inactive to active). A single chime tone will provide an audible confirmation that the programming sequence has been successfully completed

To make the 2nd row seats easier to slide, this will work in some cases:
Loosen the four seat track to floor fasteners, then tighten all four seat track to floor fasteners to 95 Nm (70 ft. lbs.) in the following sequence:

a. Front inboard bolt (closest to center console)
b. Front outboard bolt (closest to outside door)
c. Rear inboard nut (closest to center console)
d. Rear outboard bolt (closest to outside door)

Any 2011-2014 3.6L owners having idler pulley noise during cold startup?
If so, a TSB was issued earlier this month...
TSB NUMBER: 07-002-15
GROUP: Cooling
DATE: January 07, 2015
SUBJECT: Idler Pulley Noise During Cold Start
OVERVIEW: This bulletin involves replacing the idler pulley.
NOTE: This bulletin applies to vehicles built on or before September 01, 2014 equipped with 3.2L V6 24V VVT Engine (sales code EHB) or 3.6L V6 24V VVT Engine (sales code ERB)
SYMPTOM/CONDITION: The customer may describe a loud high frequency noise that happens within 20 seconds of engine startup and lasts about 90 seconds intermittently during a cold engine start, approximately 0 degrees C (32 degrees F) and below.
PARTS REQUIRED: p/n 05281301AA Idler Pulley

If past history is any indication, 98% of speculative future vehicle information will wnd up being wrong.

If past history is any indication, 98% of speculative future vehicle information will wnd up being wrong.

There was a Star Case bulletin released last April that addressed the rear seats issue ("2nd Row Seat is Hard to Move Fore/Aft"). The "fix" is to loosen the seat bolts and retighten them in a specified order and torque (and to confirm that the seat tracks are synchronized). Tried it on my '14 but didn't seem to help.

The original rotors for your vehicle are listed as p/n 4779712AA (sales code BRE, VIN filtered). These are the newer rotors (your build date is 7/05/12 which was near the end of the 2012 model year).
