Camshaft Position Sensor

I pulled another code, 0101. ECU says somethings wrong with the Camshaft Position Sensor. I've checked all the stickies but can't find anything about it. Can I get a point in the right direction as to getting this fixed?

0101
My book says DTC 0101 is caused by the Camshaft Position Sensor (Phase). This sensor is located on the engine front cover facing the camshaft sprocket. It detects the cylinder number signal. The Engine Control Module uses this signal to control spark plug firing order and also to sequence the fuel injectors correctly. If the CPS is bad the ECM will fire the plugs at the wrong time, or not fire them at all. This would account for a no-fire symptom.

that was searched btw.

I saw that in the stickies. It doesn't say what I can do about it. Just what it is. I'm looking for a way to get it replaced or fixed, as I asked in my previous post kevlo911.

Thanks for your help Ant96GLE. Do you where its located so I can clean it?
