How to Fix P000b P0016 Variable Valve Timing Dodge 5.7l

How to Fix P000b P0016 Variable Valve Timing Dodge 5.7l

Diagnosing a check engine light on a Dodge Charger that has a stored code p000b and p0016 for the variable valve timing control solenoid. Was able to activate rail valve timing control solenoid what scan tool and could hear it click.

So in this case I’m suspecting I slide it up solenoid valve or possible low and dirty oil. Before replacing any parts I would suggest changing oil and clearing codes to see if p000b and the p0016 go away.
