Quick question about camshaft position sensor

hey guys, i pulled up two codes yesterday and one was P0171 which was bank 1 oxygen sensor and then p300 which is the camshaft position sensor circuit malfunction....my question is where is the camshaft position sensor located at and also is there anything else that can trigger that code to go off?? Also about the oxygen sensor bank 1 means thats its the one in the headers correct?

The Camshaft position sensor is located right above the idler pully.
The Haynes shop manual has excellent troubleshooting instructions.

When I pulled that code, I had it taken to a mechanic cuz i could not figure it out. turns out, my transmission was bent, so on top of that only 85% of my flywheel was catching. If thats the problem you got, it aint to hard to bend it back
