Camshaft sensor errors 1200, 1204
So the check engine light was on so when I got my 2011 C300 from the dealer, and he took it to his shop and they said it was a sensor error. They replaced all 4 cam shaft sensors, and when I picked the car back up the light came back on almost immediately. I took it over to my mechanic who did a diagnostic and the following errors came up:
Errors 1200 and 1204, both read as follows: The outlet camshaft (cylinder bank 1) position is implausible relative to the position of the crankshaft". (1204 is bank2)
She said the sensors are almost certainly positioned properly since it's almost impossible to not get them in right, but it's possible there's a bad sensor as she's seen many parts come in to the shop not working and it's not uncommon.
Has anyone else experienced this, or have any idea what's going on and of course, how to resolve it?
Thanks in advance!
