Default Battery changed

I got my battery exchanged for free. I guess at this point I’ll give it a few more tests. My car wasn’t sitting. How do you check for a parasitic fuse when the wires on a multimeter are so short?

Default Thank you all

I just want to thank everyone for the help. It turns out that I just had a bad battery even though it was only a year old. I gave it a couple of days after changing it before replying and when the car is running it’s showing 13V, so I’m glad I didn’t jump into changing the CPS. Thanks again everyone!

awesome news, hopefully its just that. I would still go through the electronics to make sure what is the source thats killing the battery. Repeated drains, inconsistent charging, or even different spikes in temperature can kill batteries.

I haven’t had any problems since replacing the battery.

I just replaced my valve cover gaskets on bank 1 and 2 now I'm getting a cam sensor code , its the exact same one that's in the picture at the top of the valve cover on bank 1. Before doing the job, I did not have a code. I disconnected the battery before the job , I reconnected it and cleared the code, but it keeps coming back, I removed the sensor and cleaned it and make sure all connections were clean and good, any solutions?

swap the camshaft sensor with the one on the other side that has a vertical connector. the part numbers are the same, i'm pretty sure when it comes to our camshaft sensors the only difference is if the connector is vertical or sideways.

Default Cam positioning sensor

Thank you for your help. I found a problem when I changed my valve cover gaskets I missed the one located on Bank one passenger side in the back closest to the firewall it was disconnected. I reconnected it then reset the computer no more codes. 👍🏽
