On the 3.0L engine, there are two cam sensors, one in front of each cylinder head. For the 2.5L engine, the cam sensor is in rear of cylinder head.
Here is a guide to walk you through the problem of having camshaft codes, most of the time it is not the sensor.

Thanks. I replaced it yesterday. I wish all sensors were that easy.

Good to hear, did it fix the issue?

Yes it’s still a little bit. But I know that the computer has to recalibrate. So I have to drive it more.
