I've attached picture steps below relating to camshaft position sensor replacement for your van. Hope this helps and thanks for using 2CarPros.
The repair was unsuccessful. Whatever they did was not the correct repair.
Codes rarely identify bad parts, just failed systems. diagnostics have to be done to determine the failure.
What was the exact code that was set?

You can go to a parts store and have them read it for free. Once I know that code, I can get the information on what needs to be checked.

P0365
Descriptor
Probable Causes
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B Sensor Wires Shorted
Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B Wires Open
Poor Connections or Loose Terminals At Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor B and At Powertrain Control Module (PCM)

Flow chart that needs to be followed
DTC P0365: CMP Sensor B No Signal
1. Reset the PCM.
2. Start the engine.
Is DTC P0340, P0341, P0365, P0366 indicated?
YES - Go to step 3.
NO - Intermittent failure, system is OK at this time. Check for poor connections or loose terminals at the CMP sensor A/B and at the PCM.
3. Turn the ignition switch OFF.
4. Disconnect the CMP sensor A/B 4P connector.

5. Measure resistance between the terminals of the indicated sensor (see table).
Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohms ?
YES - Go to step 6.
NO - Replace the CMP sensor A/B.

6. Check for continuity to body ground on both terminals of the indicated sensor individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Replace the CMP sensor A/B.
NO - Go to step 7.
7. Reconnect the CMP sensor A/B 4P connector.
8. Disconnect PCM connector C (31P).

9. Measure resistance between the terminals of the indicated sensor on the PCM connector (see table).
Is there 1,850 - 2,450 Ohms ?
YES - Go to step 10.
NO - Repair open in the indicated sensor wires (see table).

10. Check for continuity between body ground and PCM connector terminals C20 and/or C29 individually.
Is there continuity?
YES - Repair short in the indicated sensor wires.
NO - Substitute a known-good PCM and recheck. If the symptom/indication goes away, replace the original PCM.
Always glad to help.

CMP Sensor Replacement
1. Remove the timing belt.

2. Remove the front camshaft pulley (CMP sensor pulse plate) (A).
3. Disconnect the CMP sensor connector (B), then remove the back cover (C).

4. Remove the CMP sensor (A) from the back cover.
5. Install the sensor in the reverse order of removal. Install the timing belt.
Suggested Repair
Do not replace the camshaft position sensor again without testing. For code P0365, follow the CMP sensor B no-signal checks: confirm sensor resistance of 1,850-2,450 ohms, check for shorts to ground, and inspect the sensor-to-PCM wiring for opens, shorts, and loose terminals. Verify timing belt alignment after the recent belt job. Replace the CMP sensor only if those tests fail; otherwise repair the wiring or test the PCM.
Conversation Summary
A 2005 Honda Odyssey developed a drivability issue and check engine light after a timing belt service, and a camshaft position sensor replacement did not keep the light off. An inspection showed the malfunction indicator lamp commanded on, and an AutoZone scan reported P0365 for the bank 1 CMP sensor B circuit. The expert explained that the code points to the circuit rather than automatically a bad sensor and provided resistance, continuity, wiring, and PCM diagnostic steps, plus guidance to confirm timing belt alignment.
