Can I ignore code P0340 CPS problem

1996 Ford Explorer on a small island with no mechanics. Vehicle does less than 100 miles per year, never over 20 mph. The check engine light came on and the code reader says it's a problem with the Camshaft Position Sensor. The vehicle runs fine, just as it did before the check engine light came on. I'm tempted to put some electrical tape over the check engine light and keep driving. Any thoughts or suggestions?

Welcome to the forum!

Does your code reader have the ability to reset the diagnostic code? Is so, try resetting and see if it comes back. Maybe it was just a fluke.
