Drive with caution — fix soon.
This code is triggered when the camshaft position sensor circuit shows a higher-than-normal voltage, which typically indicates an open circuit, a short to voltage, or a failing sensor. The camshaft sensor helps the computer time fuel and spark, so a faulty signal can affect starting and engine performance. The fix usually involves repairing wiring and connectors or replacing the sensor.
$110 – $400
Varies by vehicle and root cause.
Short trips are usually okay, but don't push your luck. The engine may run rough or be hard to start, and it could stall, so have it checked soon.
Most repairs fall between $110 and $400. A sensor replacement is the lower-cost option, while diagnosing and repairing a wiring fault can add labor.
It's moderate. The car may still drive, but the camshaft signal matters for timing, so it's best to fix it before performance and starting get worse.
It means the sensor circuit voltage is higher than the computer expects, usually caused by an open wire or a short to a power source rather than the sensor reading the camshaft.
