    What are you trying to accomplish?

    The only crank position "data" on (any) scantool is RPM.

    Some cars have data showing whether or not the camshaft position is where the ECM expects it to be.

    Toyota doesn't have that in normal engine data. It sort of has that in the bidirectional VVT tests.

    I keep getting P0016 "cam and crank timing correlation".

    I took the valve cover off, set Cyl 1 and verified both cam shafts and crank were in alignment.

    All of the timing components are brand new.

    I checked the cam and crank sensors for proper resistance.

    I just had the VVT-I solenoid warrantied under autozone and I'm hoping that possibly the solenoid was bad, because I can't figure out what else would cause this.

    Only other thing I can think of is possibly a bad 12v battery.

    The workup for it in the FSM says either the timing is jumped or the ECM is bad. I've never had an ECM just "go bad".

    The new solenoid didn't fix it.

    Could the ECM possibly be bad?
