First, clear the codes and see if they come back. If the cel comes on, read the codes and post it.

The crank lift cam doesn't just up and break inside the engine, and simply set a code!!!! It is most likely a sensor reading being interpreted as this fault. A dealer will have a 'test plan' to run to diagnose this further. 1800 is just rape.

The dmtl fault is an evap emissions system fault. Could be old, could be a hard failure of the dmtl pump.


Find an Indy

Clear the codes

See what returns

Go from there.

DO NOT let the dealer work on this- they have you pegged as a victim to be bled.

Thanks ard, exactly my thinking. Especially as I saw no engine issues since this light has come on, no hesitation, no going limp, etc. typical things people have noticed with Vanos related "real" issues.
