"To monitor the correlation of the intake camshaft position and crankshaft position, the ECM checks the VVT neutral position against the VVT learning value while coasting. If the VVT neutral position is out of the specified VVT learning value range in driving cycles, the ECM illuminates the MIL and stores DTC P0016 (bank 1) or P0018 (bank 2)."

It trip on the 2nd drive after clearing because it's a 2 trip detection logic
Ah, the website that I check for codes gave me something totally different. Thanks for the correction, I should have known to be checking the manual and not just googling them.
