Yes, the dreaded camshaft code, here is what the easy fixes are.

1. Oil change/filter with correct 5W-30 oil.

2. Cleaning or replacing the Bank 2 exhaust camshaft actuator solenoid.

If these don't work, then:

3. Timing chain/guide camshaft actuator replacement if stretched (common on 3.6L engines with 100k+ miles).

Here is the location of the bank 2 camshaft actuator so you can check it out, it may have metal/debris int eh oil port screen which you can clean and reinstall. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response.
