Certain that’s the right code? Not P0342? That the only code? Had it scanned for free at a local autoparts store?
Also, go here first and register the vin to find recalls for that car from the company(these will be free fixes from any Daewoo dealer) as I think this very well might be one:

Don’t pull out that bulb. Ignoring trouble doesn’t do any good for an ostrich and won’t do much better for your car. I wish you had posted this info in the post you made about your oil. I don’t have access to a Daewoo database for that specific code but I’d be willing to bet this engine has variable valve timing on the exhaust camshaft and the code is a manufacturer specific code for that solenoid. Not changing your oil on time or using a different grade of oil than what the manufacturer specifies is guaranteed to set a code and not allow the VVT system to function correctly.

This light has been on for over 2 years long b4 the oil change and i used the proper grade oil — generic brand cheap oil — but same grade oil nonetheless it only has 42000 miles on it its not a VVT as far as i know only Toyota’s have VVT when the mechanic scanned the code for me he told me as long as the car starts fine and drives fine then its not a big deal as a CPS is not gonna hurt anything
Daewoo was purchased by chevrolet and is now sold as AVEO. I have one purchased when the previous owner let the timing belt break and bend the valves. Point is that the head on the Daewoo is identical execpt for placement of the injectors. The AVEO would have the same codes. I don’t recall a cam sensor but I have the shop manual and find no reference to the code P0432. P0342 refers to the cam position sensor and comes on with loss of cam position signal for 1 second. Will turn back of with 4 consecutive no fail runs.
The Cam Position Sensor is located on the front of the engine between the cam belt pullys. With the miles on your vehicle and knowing the history of these engines, I highly recommend you do a full replacement of the timing belt all idlers, tensioner and waterpump. If you wait till the belt breaks or a pully fails, it will bend the valves. This is gaurenteed to happen before 60,000 miles. While replacing the timing belt you can also access the Cam Sensor.

The Aveo is actully the Daewoo Kalos and successor of the Lanos. It has the exact same engine everything but the dash kit for a stereo is the same even the wire harness for the stereo is the same

its not a O2 sensor cat issue the mechanic told me it is a Camshaft sensor issue maybe i got the code wrong it could be the P0342 code ill have to double check the code. State of Minnesota doesn’t require inspections so ill just yank the Check Engine bulb out when i upgade my dask lights to LEDs as well as the AIR BAG light the car is a 2001 is driven less then 3000 miles a year and only has 42000 miles on it i dont see much going wrong bad enough for the engine light to come on i was told by a mechanic that only time to worry about the CEL is if it is flashing
If the correct code can be posted. We can help you alot better.
I would not recommend yanking out the cel light.The light is there
to tell you when there is a problem.Yeah, kinda why I asked, as that’s a 4 banger, I’m pretty sure doesn’t have a bank 2(cat) to start with. Think he just got some dyslexia goin’ on there. Plenty on the 342 code though, I’d go with this:

p0342-camshaft position sensor A circuit low input.
Now we are on the same page.I found out that your car
had a massive recall on camshaft sensors. Here are two
links to help you in troubleshooting.
