SES light with P0014 OBDII Fault Code

I just did an oil service with filter, air filter, cleaned the fuel injection air flow sensor and changed the CV boots on the right front.

After I did the oil change I cleaned the engine as is my norm. No problems on engine start. I let the engine sit for a while and did a final engine oil service level check...all OK, no SES light.

I then proceeded to do the boot, I finished the boot installation but ran out of light since I was working outside and finished installing the brakes on the passenger side this morning. I also ran the engine once the brakes were installed to expand the caliper I contracted to take the brake off. Everything was still fine, no SES light.

Once I finished and got the car off the jack stands I got in the car to take it on a test drive. When I started the car I got the SES light.

I checked fuel tank cap, oil fill cap and air cleaner, and ducting where I disconnected to clean the air flow sensor...all OK.

I have a cheap OBDII reader so I hooked it up and it gave me a P0014 code. My book that came with the OBDII reader says the cam sensor bank 2 advanced. I cleared the code, took it for a test drive and the light stayed off. On the next restart the SES light came back on and when checked with the reader I had the same P0014 code.

I tried a Search on this forum and the codes I find are 8 digit codes and don't have the "P" in front of them. Do I need to have the codes read by a reader that can read the BMW codes or do I have enough information to proceed?

Do I have a cam sensor problem, if so what is the solution?

Can anyone help me find out what this problem is?

The car is running great, it is a 2001 X5 3.0 with 94,000 miles on it and has had excellent service. To my knowledge this car has never had a SES light.
