2005 Dodge Magnum 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

I was driving home today and the check engine light came on. Then a mile or so later I noticed the car would not go into 4th gear or downshift. It was like it was stuck in 3rd gear. Several miles down the road it finally down shifted but would never go past 3rd gear. Running in 3rd gear at 2500 rmps. I got home my husband checked the code for the check engine light and it said it was the cam/crankshaft position correlation sensor A. Would this cause the car not to shift into other gears?
Where is this sensor located on the 05 Dodge Magnum 3.5 liter V6?

Hi gotsmallblock,

Thank you for the donation.

When the CEL comes on, it would affect the performance and can cause the trans to be locked as well.

The sensor is located in front of engine.
