Default Help - camshaft sensor changed and throwing codes

I had the check engine light, TCS, and slip light come on. I took it and had code read. Showed bank 2 camshaft sensor. I have changed it twice and had code erased both times. All lights go off as soon as you start it after resetting it but the next time you start it they are back on. What could it be besides the sensor that would throw the sensor code?

Are you using an OEM part? Sometimes aftermarket electrical parts fail...

Have you tried to reset the ecu? Sometimes that can solve some issues. I had some code after storage and reset the ecu it stayed off.

First time changing I had a friend erase the code. Second time we disconnected the battery. Was told by O'reillys that would erase the code

An electrical short in the wiring going to/from that sensor. Check the course of the wiring and harness for damage... What was the actual code anyway?

What was the code? Also, because I've seen people mix them up, you changed the driver's side, right?
