Hi guys. I have a 2013 Subaru BRZ Automatic Transmission. Bought with 70,000km. At 81,000km experienced P0016. Did all steps according to service bulletin. The last one was changing the cam sprockets. However, after that the P0016 still comes back.

Did anyone experience that the ECU relearns its values and the problem is solved after some time after the cam sprocket change or is it necessary to change the ECU.

I am based in Europe (Lithuania) so finding an ECU is a bit of the problem for me. The only way to do that is to ship it from U.S. i think. My ECU is SU003-00433 and I think i need SU003-04567.

Now my mechanic will search for an ECU and I will be using the car normally. Should I have any hopes that driving it will solve the problem eventually, as there is no mechanical problem now for sure, only a "toasted" ECU.

Thanks.
