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.

I attached the possibilities and the procedure for you below.

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