P1531 Code Help

[SimonP5150]

So I hooked up the Durametric to reset my airbag light and it showed 3 codes in the queue. The CEL wasn't on. It showed P1531 and two other O2 sensor codes from the same bank (I didn't write them down). Cleared the codes and have driven the car 100 or so miles, the car runs great and the P1531 hasn't come back. I did some research on this code and what I found is that it usually shows up if one of the cams jumps timing for some reason.

Tested the variocam solenoids with the Durametric and both sides actuate, but that code scares me. Any ideas?

Been there this past December, passenger side Variocam Actuator and Solenoid. I reset the CEL about 10 times in a month and gave up. I brought to Porsche...$2700 job.
I got into a pissing contest with EFG, the warranty company, they didn't want to pay. I reported them to the BBB and The Texas Attorney General's Office where they are located and I WON, they paid the claim.

It could be a fluke ghost code, wait and see if it comes back.
