Sure, here is the location of the camshaft sensor which is at the front of the engine between the cylinder heads. I can tell you that sometimes when you get a camshaft sensor code the problem is worn out timing chains or camshaft actuators, or the engine oil is low or needs to be changed. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes.
