Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code is set when the engine computer detects a lower-than-normal voltage on the camshaft position sensor circuit. It usually points to a short to ground, damaged wiring, a bad connector, or a failing sensor. Repairs commonly involve inspecting and fixing the wiring or replacing the camshaft position sensor.
$110 – $400
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Short trips are usually fine, but don't make it a habit. The engine may run poorly or stall, so it's safest to get it checked before it leaves you stranded.
Typical repairs run about $110 to $400. Replacing the sensor is the cheaper fix, while tracing and repairing a wiring short can add labor cost.
It's moderate. It won't usually cause immediate damage, but the camshaft signal is important for timing, so it should be repaired before drivability worsens.
It's commonly a short to ground or a damaged wire pulling the circuit voltage down, though a failing sensor or corroded connector can also be the culprit.
