Hi,
The diagnostics are extensive for the code. I wanted to confirm there were no others before overwhelming you. However, if there are no others, here are the diagnostics. Take a look through them and let me know if you need help or have questions.

HK16 CONTINUOUS DTCS P0011, P0012, P0016, P0018, P0021 OR P0022: CHECK THE OPERATION OF THE VCT SYSTEM
Note: Some vehicles require higher RPMs and loads to actuate the VCT system than others. The CAMERRR and VCT2ERR PIDs should be close to 0 whether actuating or not. During rapid VCT movements, the CAMERRR and VCT2ERR PIDs may momentarily deviate from 0. In addition, normal deviation may momentarily move to the end of the scale on a rapid acceleration.
Note: For a symptom based concern, monitor all applicable PIDs during this step.
- For DTCs P0011, P0012 or P0016.
- Access the PCM and monitor the RCAM (ANGL) and CAMERRR (ANGL) PIDs.
- For DTCs P0018, P0021 or P0022.
- Access the PCM and monitor the VCT2ACT (ANGL) and VCT2ERR (ANGL) PIDs.
- Drive the vehicle while exercising the throttle to generate VCT movement.
Does the RCAM and VCT2ACT PIDs indicate VCT movement while the CAMERRR and VCT2ERR PIDs maintain close to 0?
Yes
