Does a bad CAS throw a code?

I hadn't seen the car throw any codes and was using this to support my argument that the no-start behavior was not caused by a bad CAS. To check my assumption, I wanted to see the computer work and throw a code when the CAS was broken. I started the car, popped the hood and pulled the CAS connector. The engine stopped. I pushed it back in, restarted the engine and saw the CEL. Here's the code on the reader.

Cam Angle Sensor (CAS)
Check Engine Light (CEL)
