Your code suggests there is a problem with the camshaft position sensor circuit.

This might be a loose connection, a break in a wire. or shorted.

The camshaft position sensor itself may be bad.

Also sorta tied into this is the crankshaft sensor, all of the above are possible with it too.

Last of all, there could be a problem with Mr. Powertrain Control Module (or PCM)
