So this code may not mean the sensor is bad. It means the timing chain components needs to be replaced, such as the timing chain, guides, tensioner and camshaft actuators. But this can be an oil control valve stuck open as well. Here is the location of the valves if you want to change them out which might work.

P0014 - Exhaust Camshaft Position Timing Over-Advanced (Bank 1)

Here is an image of what needs to be replaced, and I have included the location for the sensor if you want to give it a shot. Be sure to clear the codes after the replacement. There are tow sensors. Check out the images (below). Let us know how it goes

That may help, but I have seen it help the Over-Advanced code but you never know. Let me know what happens so I can help as needed.
