Surprise CEL with p000a code

Car is at 93k miles and had the timing change (full dealership job) done at 60k.
Not hearing any knocks, so maybe the VANOS is gunked up? Or the position sensor is just bad?
I grabbed the service history from the dealership and neither of those has been replaced afaik.

I'm not hearing any knock, and JUST did an oil change last week.

Update: Looks like it was just my VANOS solenoid going bad.
