While on a road trip, along with check engine light the following codes came up at freeway speed 65mph.
P0012 had 4 DTC's, P0012 Permanent will not erase.
B1421 and B1424 still present will not erase
Codes C1201 and C1280 was able to erase

VIN: 2T3DK4DV5AW019116

I hope someone will be able to help me with these codes and restore normal operation

If the car is running normally, P0012 on the 2GR-FE V6 most often means you have a VVT solenoid sticking intermittently. P0012 indicates it is the intake solenoid on bank 1, which is the cylinder bank that is up against the firewall. A real PITA to replace it because of everything that has to be removed to get to it.

Watch this video, which explains it much better than I can.
