Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code indicates an intermittent fault in the camshaft position sensor circuit, meaning the signal is dropping out or behaving erratically rather than failing completely. It's usually caused by loose connectors, chafed wiring, or a sensor that's beginning to fail. Because the problem comes and goes, technicians often check wiring and connections closely, then replace the sensor if needed.
$110 – $420
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Short trips are usually okay, but the intermittent fault can cause sudden stalling, so don't count on it for long or important drives. Get it checked soon.
Repairs generally run $110 to $420. A sensor swap is cheaper, but tracking down an intermittent wiring fault can take extra diagnostic time and cost.
It's moderate but unpredictable. The danger is that the fault is intermittent, so the engine may run fine then stall without warning, which is why it shouldn't be ignored.
Because the fault isn't always present, a technician may not see it during testing. Loose connectors and chafed wires are common culprits and require careful inspection to find.
