I've only used 0w20 in mine since day one.
When the repair was completed last August, I got "the works", so OCV's, cam gear, ECU and all related smaller parts and pieces, but only on the one side. The light that is currently showing up is not the same, symptom-wise, as when I had the P0018 code. In that instance, the slip light comes on WITH the CEL and stays on permanently, and the car goes into "limp" mode, with a noticeable dip in power. The light I currently have is JUST the CEL, with intermittent flashing of the slip light, but it does not stay illuminated for more than 5 seconds at a time. I also am not in "limp" mode even slightly. The car still feels like it has all it's "balls" and all it's power. So I'm confused as to what exactly the hell is happening right now. Again I really want to get it scanned while the light it still on, cause that is step number one in hoping to diagnose it, but every time I try to get it scanned, the damn light turns itself off again before I have a chance to get the car plugged in (as I do not have an OBD scanner or OFT). Cheers! Thanks for the reply!

I know you don't 'have' to replace the exhaust sprockets but after talking to several mechanics, they all agreed that when replacing any sprocket/chain/etc, you should do all of them. Even if looking perfect, they could have worn, stretched, etc, and it's better to be safe than sorry. Especially since all the work put in to crack it open. |

The SW used by the dealerships show these values and they're used as guides to check if key engine parameters are within design specs. The learning value is the value of the intake cam when it is most retarded by the ecu.
I used ecutek to read my ecu before and learning values were not part of their SW displayed values. I could only tell vvt angles. So it may be something only visible with special SW. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk |

Techstream is that special software though. I guess I will have to look through everything in there again. |

From what I was told, the "learning values" being off by too much is what necessitates the ECU swap in the first place, as I was told these values "burn in" and cannot be reset.
I believe if they are more than 10 degrees off, they look to replace ECU. I believe mine were 14 degrees apart when I had my P0018 pop up last summer.

Yes, that's what I learned this time around. 10 is the threshold. Mine were 15 off this time. Not sure what they were the last time.

Hi All. Just curious, is there a consensus that this P0016 code issue is more common to the early build (2013-2015) models? Would 2016-current year models have the updated cam sprocket design, and are less prone to these issues? Thanks.

Yes, it's that much of a mystery. I'm looking forward to plugging into your car this weekend if you have time.

Edit: Ok the OBDlink app doesn't work with other dongles, Torque doesn't spit out the VVT values naturally so I have to go hunting for them and create the PID's manually as quick googling doesn't show them... or buy another OBDlink but I don't wanna spend another $50 The rambling point is that I got P0011 years ago, ignored it, plugged in my OFT this morning and saw that my Intake VVT value was borked reading 100% and 'spiking' down to 0% intermittently. Command values look good and OFT doesn't distinguish which bank is problematic, maybe it's taking an average? idk Fingers crossed it's just the sensor/shimming and I don't have to take the valve cover off, but I've also got an oil leak that may be the TSB or it may be the cover. I've got a fun weekend ahead. I'd also be a candidate for the 'ECM burn-in' values if I've really been driving around for 3+ years on a bogus sensor. Quote:

I understand how, for the sake of expediency, the troubleshooting procedures were written. I'm frustrated with the secrecy.

So after a month on the new ECM, p0016 came back again. I'm going to drop it off at the dealership & complain in a couple of days.
I wonder, if they have to change the cam sprocket this time, will I need to pay for it (the ECM change was covered under the emissions warrenty) I'm 8k miles over the drivetrain warrenty. Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk
