Camshaft positioning sensor a circuit bank 1 location? I was able to find one of the camshaft sensors which is the one with that has a cover over it looking in to under the hood on the right side but that's not the one I'm looking for. I'm not sure exactly where the other one is at. Looked along the firewall wasn't able to find it near spark plug #1. Please help me locate both camshaft sensors bank 1 and bank 2. Thank you!

Sure, I can help but I need to tell you that it could be the VCT system that is causing the codes, in other words if the timing chain, camshaft actuators or oil control valves are not working or worn out it will cause the dreaded camshaft sensor codes. Here are the locations of the sensors. Clear the codes are you replace them, also, check the engine oil to make sure it is clean and full, (dirty/worn out oil can cause this problem). FYI there is only one camshaft sensor for this engine. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.

It's a v6 2.7 because it's a v6 doesn't it have 2 camshaft sensors? The reason I'm saying this is because when I look up camshaft sensors for this model and I see there are two different camshaft sensors. I went on the Hyundai forms and a lot of people have said the wiring melted under the hood. I'm not sure how to use the meter to check to see if those wires grounding out or not? Thank you for your help.

I double checked there is only one sensor, but it might have different designs, so this is why there are two options. If you want to check the wiring.

Here is a guide to help and the wiring diagrams.
