Lost power steering, check engine lights, VSC Track Off light on after timing belt and water pump replacement.

Check engine light on with P0016, VSC lights on after a mechanic replaced timing belt and water pump on my 2004 van.

Good afternoon.

The code is for the timing. You have the belt one tooth off on one of the cams.

You will need to remove the top cover again and recheck the timing marks.

Valve Timing B1

The ECM optimizes the valve timing using the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) system to control the intake valve camshaft. The VVT system includes the ECM, the Oil Control Valve (OCV) and the VVT controller. The ECM sends a target duty-cycle control signal to the OCV. This control signal, sent to the OCV, regulates the oil pressure applied to the VVT controller. The VVT controller can advance or retard the intake valve camshaft. The ECM calibrates the valve timing of the VVT system by setting the camshaft to the maximum retard angle when the engine is idling. The ECM closes the OCV to retard the cam. The ECM stores this value as a VVT learning value. When the difference between the target valve timing and the actual valve timing is 5 degrees or less, the ECM stores this in its memory.

If the learning value meets both of the following conditions ("a" and "b"), the ECM interprets this as a defect in the VVT system and sets a DTC.
A. The VVT learning value is less than 21°CA (Bank 1)/22°CA (Bank 2) or more than 46°CA (Bank 1)/40°CA (Bank 2).
B. The above condition continues for more than 18 seconds.
