Cause
Faulty camshaft position sensor
The sensor telling the module where the camshaft is, which is how injection and ignition are timed to the right cylinder. Its signal is compared against the crankshaft's, so a correlation code means the two disagree — and a stretched timing chain produces that with both sensors perfect.
Typically a moderate job.
Some of these codes mean you should stop driving
29 of the 29 codes this can cause indicate a fault where continuing to drive risks damage or is unsafe. Which one you have matters more than the cause does — read the code's own page before deciding.

Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
