Look at that post carefully, it listed possbile causes of the code... and it did reference problems with the starting system and low battery. The latter makes a lot of sense if you recently moved to a colder climate and the CCA's are not what they used to be.

Possible cause:

•Harness or connectors (The sensor circuit is open or shorted)
•Camshaft position sensor (PHASE) Bank 2 may be faulty
•Camshaft (Intake) may be damage
•Starter motor may be faulty
•Starting system circuit
•Dead (Weak) battery

physically get under the car and check the sensor.......its on the passenger side, if im right, just below the slave cylinder if you have a manual tranny....looking at car from front its at 5:30 position...

Ensure its in-tack and not loose, it has one bolt that holds it in, a 10mm....seen it back out before...

you have to remove the AFT front plastic wing shaped under tray to get to it easy...

Remove it completely and check it out...........the pic on the top right on the attached image has the face with eyes meaning "checking point"..............physically look at it and then ensure its okay, then reattach if it was loose at all..

pic attached...

Please see this post for some insight

The short answer is don’t use after market sensors.
