Has anyone had a problem after doing timing chains. That the
VVT keeps setting codes. Its has been a p1396. Which is bank
b, the driver side.

I have taken the car apart three times now, to recheck my
work, look for clogs, dirt anything that could be wrong. I
have OHM the wires out they are good .01ohms. I have checked
the actuators they both work, when you take 9v to both vvt
actuators the engine changes, different idle and vacuum
changes. I have swapped the wires off the ECM. same code. I
have checked power to actuators by back probing, idle 0v at
wot 12v.I got the same code p1396. I have replaced the driver
side intake cam gear, and cam position sensor. Still same
code.

Is there anything else that sounds like a possible cause? Is
there a problem with these? I have checked all over not to
many seem to be having a problem. Any help would be great.
Thanks in advance. If more info is needed please let me know.

 

I started on alldata. The only thing it has you test is the wiring from the ECU to the actuators. Which I have done about 5 different times. There are not tests for anything else, they dead end you there. Thanks though.
