How do you reset a camshaft position sensor?

I ran a diagnostic on my car, and it looks like my camshaft sensor is faulty. Is there a way to reset it like you can with a crankshaft? How do you reset a camshaft position sensor?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to reset a camshaft position sensor.
If you’re having camshaft issues (check engine light on, acceleration trouble, sputtering and stalling, etc.), you’ll have to replace the part entirely. You can do this yourself if you’re comfortable handling your engine, or just hire a mechanic to replace your camshaft sensor.
Luckily, you can offset the cost of a mechanic by saving $800+ on car insurance every year! With

The battery on my Ford Escape died and I need to get it towed, but I’ll have to move it first so the tow truck can get to it. Is there a way to put a Ford Escape in neutral when the battery is dead?

Is the Ford Escape manufactured in the United States? I know Ford is an American company, but I’m not sure where they assemble their cars.
