Default 2007 GS350 AWD camshaft position sensor

Hi everyone, I finally moved over from a 02 gs430 into a 07 gs350 awd. I love lexus quality and needed a reliable daily as my caprice is my "fast build". So after buying the car I pulled codes to see what's wrong and as of now I have a P0390/P0023 (both cam position bank 2 codes). Is bank 2 just the intake sensor or the exhaust sensor? First time messing with position sensors on the lexus'. I also have a vsc and "check 4wd light" but I think it's another sensor but I want to take care of the engine codes first.

Thank you all

You sometimes get codes like this if the car has been sitting for a long while and hasnt been driven. Put some miles on her, and make sure the charging system is getting the voltage it needs. Like test the battery voltage, check the condition of the battery terminals, test the voltage with the car running etc. Just to verify its not an alternator issue or funky power issue.

The cool thing about the GS350 is the awd, is pretty stout. You get a pretty good 4 wheel launch vs the rwd. If you stop light launch these cars, and load the torque convertor while on the brakes, there pretty quick for street daily. But like any car if you over do it you will eventually cook something

Honeslty the caprice is my fast car so I've been driving this car like an old man. But I cleared the codes for now and I'll check back Saturday to make sure they don't come back.. hopefully
