The check engine light and vehicle stability assist lights came on first while the car was stationary. The OBD codes were scanned and the code p0341 was read. The camshaft position sensor was replaced and the lights turned off and the p0341 codes were cleared. The second time the lights came on the car was in motion. The OBD codes were scanned again and the code p1009 was read meaning the vtc actuator is bad and needs to be replaced.
