I would think that it fits at 1 end of the engine near one of the ends of the camshaft. It will be probably a small plastic part with 2 or more wires attached. If you get a replacement unit, you will be able to compare and locate it on your engine. I would also suggest that being a Jeep part, its probably expensive. With electronics these days, its not unusual for diagnostic codes to sometimes give you an idea of where the fault lies but may not necessarily be the part that is at fault. It could be something else. May pay to get a Jeep Dealer to check with the factory diagnostic machine to confirm that's the fault before you outlay for a part that may not be faulty.

SOURCE: Need to find Cam Position Sensor on 2004 Neon SXT

It isn't something you can just disconect, but it is fairly easy to replace. I just did mine about 2 weeks ago and it took less than 30 minutes. You just remove the battery so you can get to it, and it is right there on the side of the engine. After you get the battery out take out the 4 bolts holding it on, then disconnect the wire after you have removed it, then hook the new one on the wire and bolt it on. Replace the battery and you are good to go.

SOURCE: Diagnostic code P 340 and P 341 Camshaft Position

The Camshaft Position Sensor tells the PCM (computer) the position of the Camshaft Position. This Sensor sychronized along with several other Sensors including the Crankshaft Position Sensor the firing of the electronics to the spark plugs of each cylinder.
It is not difficult to replace and relatively inexpensive.
1. Disconnect the Negative side of the Battery,
2. Locate the Sensor and unplug.
3. Remove the Position Sensor retaining bolt.
4. Pull out the Sensor.
Replacement is reverse of above order.
Hint: use fresh engine oil on the end/sides of the Sensor especially around the rubber o-ring(s) to ease pushing the Sensor into proper position.

SOURCE: code reads P0340 Camshaft position Sensor circuit

That makes the computor think the timing is off. Replace the sensor and see if that does it. You will then have to have the code cleared (erased) or the light will come back on/stay on.

SOURCE: 2007 Jeep Compass Code P000A and P000B problem

P000A is either wiring fault, a fault with the ECU/PCM or a mechanical fault the camshaft.

P000B is slow response from the cam sensor. It can be cause from dirty oil or the wrong type of oil.

In both cases, if your sure the oil is correct then there is an issue with the cam sensor or cam sensor solenoid.

I hope this helps; remember to rating this and just keep in mind that your feedback is important and I'll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment.

Have a nice day and thanks for using FixYa.

2007 Dodge Caliber 2.0 DOHC no start, P000a, P000b. Low oil on dip stick.

codes p000A refers to camshaft position sensor(CMP) actuator, intake /left/front bank 1---slow response===causes ---wiring---CMP actuator---ECM

code P000B refers to CMP actuator, exhaust/right/rear bank 1--slow response -====causes ---wiring---CMP actuator---ECM
did it occur to you that if there is insufficient oil in the motor that items that require oil pressure may throw codes when that oil pressure is fluctuating from air being pumped
first fill the sump to the high mark on the dip stick and keep it there , then it the codes reappear have an accredited service centre change the actuators

What does code p2004 mean?

P2204-The PCM detects that the position feedback of the Manifold Flow Valve Position Sensor is not within range of the adapted value learned during in-plant initialization or after a non volatile memory reset (adaptive memory clear).
Usually means the air flow valves are stuck open or closed. You have to remove the intake and either free up the valves by cleaning them and lubing them, or replace the intake with a new one with new valve.
P000A &P000B:
The codes are for Cam position sensor A and B slow response.

Ever changed the timing belt on that car? It may have jumped a tooth. Check your maintenance schedule for lifespan. I believe it is 65,000 mile interval on changing it.
Note - some engines will be badly damaged if a timing belt snaps or skips too far, as the pistons and valves occupy some of the same space at different times during the engine operating cycle.
The car may also have a faulty timing belt tensioner, which should also be replaced with the timing belt.
Another possible cause is a faulty sensor in the distributor.

Check engine codes P000B and P0014

Both codes are related to the camshaft position sensor. I would suggest getting it replaced. When the sensor goes bad it may cause misfiring and timing issues.
