Code P0012, I'll start with the sensor as my first step but I can't find where this is located?

Good morning,
The code is for cam sensor 1 bank 1. That is on the back of the passenger side of the motor, the outer sensor.

Usually when we get that code, it's not the sensor as it's the camshaft phaser not staying in place commanded.
