Errors after replacing timing chain

[SV6 Mags]

Hi Guys,

I've had the local mechanic replace the timing chain on my holden VE 2009 omega, with the rev high kit after the engine warning lights appeared. Since replacing the timing chain

ECU running test reports code P0390 & P0365, Camshaft position (CMP) sensor B, bank 1&2 circuit malfunction likely open circuit or ECU requires flashing, all eight CMP and actuators were tested and function within Ω and volts, same for wiring at connections. Sensors and actuators were exchanged with working spares and the check engine light (CEL) is still present. Suggest having a professional auto electrician diagnose.

Should i take it to another mechanic to check the work or should I take it to a auto electricain who is 300km away?

The timing chain has not been installed correctly. Take it back to the installer and they need to do it again.

If they argue the point, it clearly is not installed at the correct alignments and the data indicates this.

put a scope on it to see if timing is all ok and getting correct signal

This. By doing this, the wave form data from various inputs will show absolutely the case for the timing being out.

A professional mechanic would have diagnosed the initial problem fully before throwing parts at the vehicle…

A professional mechanic would have returned the car in a fully working condition post his “repair” or diagnosing and corrected any issues that popped up post his “repair”…

Really, it’s just not professional to fcuk up a job and expect the vehicle owner to pay other professionals to diagnose and fix his fcuk ups...

Really, if the mechanic is not up to the task he should arrange another professional shop to fix his failure, paid for by his business...

Really, he sounds like a parts cannon prick more the a mechanic that works on modern cars… maybe he should stick to lawnmowers…
