I started getting the CEL and SLI light around 20,000 miles. Dealer plugged it and showed P000018 cam shaft sensor code. They said they couldn't find anything else wrong and cleared the code followed by driving it a few miles. They gave me the car back and the light came back on a block from the dealership. They scheduled me for the following week. They have had the car for 3 weeks. They have tried switching throttle and cam sensors but no luck. He said I could have it back while corporate decides what to do since the engine runs fine or I could keep the loaner. I kept the loaner since the cruise control doesn't work with the CEL and SLI lights on. I also don't think the traction control works because I noticed myself chirping the tires quite frequently and I had never done that before.
On a separate note I was talking with a Yamaha technician that works on Waverunners. He said they had a similar issue several years ago. The problem was interference from another wire running next to the wires from the cam sensors in the wiring loom. In later models they increased shielding of the wires in the loom.
