I swapped cam sensor out with a used one. Checked out the wires between the PCM and sensor and they all seemed good. What does the "ETC off" have to do with the cam sensor code? Is there something common between them. Is ETC short for electronic traction control? I don't have to put it in gear and drive, it will set. Also the ABS light ocasionally comes on, but ETC and check engine light set at the same time allways.

The engine is 2.2l . I don't care about the chassis problems, mainly tring to get engine light to stay off.
