Default Cam position sensor swap?

Had the EPS, VSA, TPMS and eng light all come on at once in our 2013 CRV EX-L (130k miles). It starts and drives normally. It's showing a P0341 code and all online resources seem to point to 1) Voltage and 2) Timing chain or associated parts. Ruled out a battery or voltage problem and it seems like a lot of people who took theirs in for the timing chain ended up with a huge bill and the same recurring problem. So my thought was to start small & replace the cam sensors. Maybe it's just me but why does there seem to be an absence of youtube's covering CRV Gen 4 cam sensor replacements?

Anyone have a link to a Cam Pos sensor swap for a Gen 4 CRV?

Thanks

It's one bolt and you pop the sensor out. Not really a video worthy topic.

If you have eps vsa and tpms lights all on you probably have a weak 12v battery. How old is your battery?

Three years old. 12.3 volts after sitting overnight & 14.2-14.3 engine running. And there are 2 sensors--at least that's what the parts book shows. Considering the amount of auto maintenance crap vids on Youtube, I'd consider it worthy. Plenty of Cam Position vids on the Accord & Gen 3 CRV, can't find any on Gen 4 even though it seems to be a common problem.

It's the same engine as the Accord and earlier CR-V..... Very minor differences. Cam sensors are in the same places.

3 years is old for a battery these days. A new battery would be my first attempt at repairs. Or a proper load test on the battery. It might have a good voltage but no capacity to deliver any current.
