Default Cam Shift Actuator Error code

Hi, I have a fault code when I scan my car via OBD - I'ts P11A700 Cam Shift Actuator 'B' Cyclinder 2 Circuit/Open - There's no engine lights active, car seems hesitant on pull away and a tad lumpy on idle. Any tips / ideas to point me what to replace?

Thanks!

Lot of people end up with broken connectors for whatever reason. So pull the connector and see if it's broken.

Thank you for the photo, It was indeed connector 2B had been snapped off inside the sensor. Thank you!

Thanks for replying with the ending result. Too many times people ask for help and don't reply once the solution is found. A+
