Car listed above SE model shut off when I was driving. A code popped up saying it was the cam shaft sensor. Where is that located on the motor?

Hi,

If you look at picture 1, I circled the cam sensor. Here are the directions for replacement. The additional pictures correlate with the directions for removal and replacement.
