The 2005 Ford F-150 will have two separate camshaft sensors, as it seems You've already figured our. There bank 2 sensor is located near the serpentine belt, above the oil pressure switch and below the ignition transformer capacitor #2. In contrast, the bank1 sensor is found on the other end of the block (same side), below the ignition transformer capacitor #1. Occasionally, You'll find that one or more of these sensors will need to be replaced; code P0345 is what You're most likely seeing above, but adjAccent codes will be thrown for different sensors. I wouldn't characterize the replacement as a simple one, since You'll need to tear down a decent portion of the truck, but there are certainly harder things You could get Yourself into.

Technical DescriptionCamshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2) What does that mean?This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may be slightly different depending on the model. This indicates that a problem was detected in the camshaft position sensor circuit of bank 2. Since it says circuit, that means the problem could lie in any part of the circuit - the sensor itself, the wiring, or the PCM. Don't just replace the CPS (camshaft position sensor) and think that will definitely fix it. SymptomsSymptoms can include:

What is the camshaft position sensor bank 2?Replacement Bank 1 & 2 Camshaft Position Sensors Set of 2 - The camshaft position sensors determines the rotating position of the camshaft to regulate spark timing and fuel injector operation in sync with the crankshaft sensors.
Are Bank 1 and Bank 2 camshaft sensors the same?Q: Are bank 1 and bank 2 sensors the same? Bank 1 and bank 2 have similar sensors. However, bank 1 has two sensors, of which sensor 1 is located near the engine before the catalytic converter, an upstream sensor called pre-CAT, and sensor 2 is located after the catalytic converter called post CAT, a downstream sensor.
Where is the second camshaft position sensor located?The Camshaft position sensor is usually mounted in line with the toothed wheel on the end of the camshaft. It is usually hidden under the timing chain cover on the front of the engine.
