How do you fix a P0010 error code on a car?

P0010 is a code for the camshaft position sensor. This error code happens when the camshaft position sensor is not working correctly. This can be caused by a number of things, such as a faulty sensor, a wiring issue, or a problem with the camshaft itself. If the camshaft position sensor is not working correctly, it can cause the engine to run rough or stall.
