Thanks
The car seems to be running fine. Had the timing belt replaced about 5,000 miles ago.
Where is the Camshaft Position Sensor A - Bank 1? I can check the wires.
What does it do?
I searched & can't find much.

Cam position sensor on bank 1 is on the front side. You have to open the passenger side timing belt cover, which means you have to remove the serpentine belt and the driver side cover as well. (Maybe you can flex the cover enough the access it, but you can cehck that)

Considering you replaced the timing belt about 5000 miles ago, the first thing that I would suspect is the timing, not wiring. Anyways, who did it?

I cleared the codes & now it passes. The car is running smooth. Can the timing be off and the car still run good?

Yeah, these cars are really sensitive on timing, but it will still run smooth.
