The camshaft position sensor signal code is set when a signal from the sensor is not detected by the Engine Control Module(ECM) during the first few seconds of engine cranking. If you replaced the sensor, check wiring between the sensor and ECM. Chances are there is a broken or corroded wire.

Check to see if there is spark to the plugs to confirm this is still the issue.
