What causes the P0015 code?
The variable camshaft timing (VCT) oil control valve (OCV) is stuck in the open position.
The camshaft phaser is stuck in the retarded position due to damage or clogged oil passages.
Oil flow problems to the VCT piston and phaser from incorrect oil viscosity.
The OCV has an open circuit or the ECM has an open circuit.

The harness plugs are notorious for wires coming loose out of the back of the plugs when trying to pull them. Has happened to me both times I’ve changed spark plugs which had me pulling plugs, all on the driver’s side. The wires to the plugs can be repaired but you need the right crimps and crimping tools. Open circuits on these will have you unnecessarily changing expensive parts. Check every single wire at the back of the plugs.
