This may have uncovered a latent defect in the cam actuator system .




I have heard of this on at least one other car, ie car was fine, guy loads tune (used on many other cars without problem), then gets cam DTC codes, goes back to stock tune, no DTC codes.




you probably need to log a car with no defect and compare the logs.
