* An incorrectly installed timing chain
* Excessive play in the timing chain
* A mechanical cam actuator that is stuck in the full advance or retard position.
* A timing chain that jumped teeth
* A crankshaft reluctor wheel that has moved in relationship to top dead center (TDC) on the crankshaft
3. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC to verify the DTC does not reset. You may also operate the vehicle within the
conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records data.
