Hello,

The code P2C0B usually refers to the camshaft profile actuator/sleeve position sensor circuit, not the regular camshaft position sensor. So this code can come on if the engine oil is low or needs to be changed. Also, when the engine is cold, at idle does it make a slight rattling noise? If so you might have a broken timing chain guide or a worn camshaft actuator, I would change the oil and filter first though. Here is the location of the camshaft sensor B bank 1 in case we need to change it out. Clear the codes once the repairs are made. Check out the images (below). Let me know how it goes
