Got a CEL and flashing cruise light. Scan reader gave me fault code P0390. From what I gather it means I've got a faulty cam position sensor on Bank 2 Position B or a short on the wires. So, I'm wondering where that sensor is located and just wanted to confirm that's the issue before I start replacing anything.

It looks like the camshaft position sensors are at the front of the engine near the timing belt cover. Bank 2 is at the driver's side of the engine. Check out the images (below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.
