Does That make sense? There must be an algorithm for what activates the Cam timing error code that involves time or miles, huh?

In real simple terms.
My guess and it's just that, a guess.
Is that a sensor like the cam position sensor has a limit (voltage level) that the DME/ECU sees. when it hits that limit the code is set.
Or the voltage level is far enough out of spec. that the DME/ECU sees it and triggers the code.
I do know that on an O2 sensor when the signal response time slows down to a certain point that the DME/ECU has a response time limit that when hit it triggers a O2 sensor aging code.
I found that info in some literature put out by Bosh.
Bosh developed and produced the DME/ECU in our cars
So I think everything (when it comes to codes being set) is either signal response time or voltage level related as far as the sensors are concerned.
Hope that makes sense.
Remember that's just a guess
