What's the way forward?

How did they check the bolded?
With a multimeter?
If not, ask them to use a multimeter to check all connections to know if there are voltage drop on any of the grounds.
If all is fine then I've run out of options diagnosing remotely.

Thank you boss

Really appreciate.

Will tell him to double check all what you said

He admitted the error might be from him , kia optima 2023

Avoid such mechanics. A Kia optima 2023 I believe is bought brand new here in Nigeria and should still be under warranty. Why taking it to a 3rd party to fix?

This is an extremely expensive gamble!!!

Definitely not a 2023 Optima, maybe a 2013. The Kia logo on his steering is the old one

So, I took it to a profession gear workshop, I was told they'll service the valve body and everything will be okay

good evening...
fixed my car camshaft rattling noise and cylinder misfires recently.... after fixing.. the car was scanned and all codes went off... and performance significantly improved...even went back three days later to double check and was still fine.. no noise no codes

now i just bought a personal obd scanner this evening and decided to just run a scan and discovered the code P0012 again..just that... this was present earlier and it went away after it was fixed.. wondering why it came back again now. haven't notice any performance difference and car idles well...

please should i be worried...

1. If your oil is not gauged to the full mark on the dip stick you may have this code.
2. The vvt solenoid is having a slight restriction due to particles in it.

Just make sure your oil is at the full mark of the dip stick or remove the vvt solenoid and clean it properly then install again .

You can DIY by using 10 L shape spanner
