Default Camshaft position sensor

Just go back from a 300 mile round trip the other day.
Get in my car and i see the check engine light is on?
Well i broke out the Peake code reader and i received: Camshaft position sensor.
Just wondering if any one has had this problem.
The car runs just fine im just puzzeled by it?
Btw i drive a 98 318i <i know its no ti>.......
Any advice would be great.
-Thanks

That happened to me about a year ago. Better replace it before it starts causing problems.
