Has anyone thought about how it could be faulty WIRING or connectors going to the cam gear position sensors?

I noticed that a lot of people are getting the P0019 which is a specific corner. Replacing the gears/ECU/reflashing/swapping OCV's doesn't work in some cases. The only common thing other than the engine itself would be the wiring and connectors. I don't know, just thinking out loud.


Maybe the reason these fixes seem to work with some cars and not others is that the harnesses and connectors are touched/unplugged/plugged in/etc while the warranty work is being performed, and the accidental fix is actually in the wiring/connectors themselves. This would also explain the wide randomness in mileage people are seeing the issue as well as why some owners never see the problem at all.
