Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code means the camshaft position sensor signal is out of its expected range or doesn't correlate properly with the crankshaft sensor. The camshaft sensor helps the computer control fuel injection and ignition timing, so a mismatched signal can affect how the engine starts and runs. It's often fixed by replacing the sensor or repairing wiring, though timing component wear can sometimes be the cause.
$120 – $450
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
For short trips, usually yes, but you shouldn't rely on it long-term. The engine may run rough or be harder to start, and ignoring it could lead to stalling, so get it checked soon.
Expect roughly $120 to $450. A simple sensor swap is on the lower end, while wiring repairs or timing-related issues can cost more.
It's moderate. It won't usually leave you stranded right away, but it affects how the engine times its fuel and spark, so it's worth addressing before drivability gets worse.
Yes. If the timing chain or belt has stretched or worn, the camshaft timing can drift out of range and trigger this code, so timing components should be checked if the sensor is fine.
