2 June 2017 - Back to the shop

I stopped by the service dept of the dealership today.  A tech read codes from the car and verified the p0016 and p000B codes. He said that he cleared the codes started and ran the car and the p0016 code did not show.  

I told the tech and the service manager that the codes happened right after pressing the "sport mode" button.  So after a few minutes of discussion another tech walked over and mentioned that a bulletin about the variable valve timing solenoid was out.  And that if the p0016 and p000B codes were happening simultaneously that the solenoid was the issue.  But the tech that worked on the car was very concerned that the p0016 could still be due to the recall work dealing with the timing chain and tensioner.

So Monday the car will go back in the shop, the tech will make sure the hardware he installed is good and then he will work on the p000B error.

I am glad they are on the ball and getting this car fixed, I look forward to driving it again.
