Camshaft position sensor code - not going away

Timing off
Timing was off by about 2 teeth.
Corrected the timing, started right away and runs great.
Had first checked compression (130,125,130,130).
My friend told that if the cam sensor 'gap' is really off the mark, the ECU may not be able to read anything and throws the 'open or short' code. He was right.
IMO: very misleading code! Including Bentley ("replace cam position sensor"), no hint whatsoever that cam timing could cause this fault.

If the system detected that timing was off, it would throw a different code. I don't remember the code number, but it is about correlation of the engine speed sensor and the camshaft position sensor.
He is getting a code where the ECU cannot read the CPS. Not correlation.
I don't think this is timing-related.

Is this my timing? I replaced the VSS and no luck. I know a bad cam sensor would prevent starting. But after changing the VSS i cleared the codes and no codes are coming up now.
