There is 2 actuators, first one is the cam phaser actuator sensor, which is the one on the cyl head behind the p/s pump, thats the one that goes bad all the time, the second actuator is the sprocket which is under the valve cover and attached to the front of the exhaust cam, they 2 sometimes go bad, to find out which one you need a scan tool to command the actuator on/off to see if its advancing and retarding the cam timing, thats what the actuator does. As far as the p0014 there is a software update for that code. As far as replacing the chain I would not, because I've done alot of these and there a total nightmare, I would be more concerned with the cam phaser actuator and possibly the circuit that controls it.
