Camshaft Position Codes

[Phil5129]

I recently took my car out of storage and keep get different codes for camshaft position sensors errors. I get a P0393 and P0343. I've clear them and they go away for a while then return as pending after a while. I find it hard to believe I have a bad sensor suddenly on both sides of the engine and feel there is something underlying. Anyone ever run into this before? Car runs fine.

I store it in the winter, so since Mid October. During storage I take it for short drives every few weeks (weather permitting).

They do go. I just replaced two of mine a couple weeks ago. As with most things best not to ignore it. Get OE ones of FCPeuro for $55ea and swap them out it’s an easy job

I just want to close the loop here. My issue was caused by old condition and nothing more. I came across a disclaimer on FCP when trying to buy new ones regarding oil condition. I simply changed my oil and the problem went away. My issue was cause by taking my car for short drives while it was in storage in freezing Michigan. I cause condensation in my engine and therefore caused my sensors to go crazy. I simply changed the oil and cleared the codes that kept coming up before the change, drove on the highway for 50 miles and never had another issue. Over 8k miles last summer and never returned. I hope this helps someone in the future.
