CEL stays off while driving means it's OK. CEL on while driving is limp mode.

If you reset the ECU to clear codes, do both codes return?

prior to replacing the sensor I would reset the ECU whenever the car when into the limp mode, and let it sit for few mins than car would run normal like stated before only happen during whenever I did a lot stop and go during heavy traffic and hot days. I replace the sensor I haven't gotten any code yet. What I read the limp mode limit the engine to run no more than 3k rpm and no more than 30mph or less, I was doing 80 to 70 yesterday even 90mph after I replace the sensor and the rpm stay between 3k to 4k or a constant 3k rpm so that's why I'm wondering if im still limp mode or that normal rpm for the honda. when I had my 97 i would do 70mph and higher the rpm would jump to 4k and above

my car went into limp mode not too long ago and just changed the camshaft position sensor... its a little bitch to get to (right side of engine when looking into engine bay) right by the cam belts. I replaced mine and the problem has vanished for months now
