P0390 Camshaft position sensor
There have been numerous articles written on this, and before you guys tell me to go buy a peake tool.. Right now I'm working with what I have and I'm sure someone has the answer to this, so your infinite knowledge would be greatly appreciated.

P0390 Camshaft position sensor B - Bank 2 curcuit malfunction

Which sensor is "B" and "Bank 2"? Exhaust or intake and cylinders #1-4 or #5-8? Which side is which?

It's the exhaust CPS for the drivers side.

Quick question - I have a fault code on my Peake reader that says "A2" (Crankshaft/camshaft position correlation 5-8). Is this the CPS? Intake or exaust?
