In case anyone comes across this in the future, on the driver side bank, the cam position sensor is between the #2 and #4 cylinder spark plugs on the exhaust side. The harness for this sensor is taped beyond the loom making for a short pigtail. It splits off the of the same set of wires that run to the coil pack for the #4 cylinder spark plug. In removing the coil pack, I must have stressed the loom to the point where one of the wires came out of the pin in the cam position sensor plug.

As I have read in my research, these plugs/wires are very brittle. Of the three wires on this sensor (Green w/black stripe, pink, solid green), the solid green wire on mine has come loose - not visible by the naked eye either. In messing with the plug, I noticed the wire came out. I forced it back in, codes gone, car runs fine. I will be replacing this with a new plug/pigtail which I will crimp onto the existing wires. Toyota does not sell this part, so its going to have to be aftermarket. Dorman 645-744 looks to be the right part.

Hope this helps save someone a few hours of time and a possible wallet raping from the dealer.
Just want to say thanks for this post!

I replaced the spark plugs over a year ago and when doing so I also accidentally pulled a wire out of the cam sensor plug. At the time, we were living in a rural area and I was changing the plugs late at night anyway so I pulled apart the plug and did my best attempt to re-pin it and gain a little slack in the harness. My temporary fix worked until yesterday when we returned home from Colorado, where we were on some rough roads at times. This morning I ran down to O’Reilly’s and picked up the pigtail you posted and replaced it. I feel so much better knowing I have a better fix in place and hopefully I’ll never have to mess with it again.
