I keep getting jerking movements with check engine light and traction light. Codes I get are increasing and not sure why?

If the engine or braking systems have a fault that may reduce engine torque or reduce braking ability, the car may not be able to correct itself during a skid.
You may have faults stored in the ABS module also. Can your tool access the ABS control module? ABS codes are not OBD2, like the Powertrain codes are.

Whenever there are Camshaft position codes on a MultiAir, the first thing to check is the motor oil (as the valvetrain uses oil pressure to change valve lift & cam timing.
This is the 'B' camshaft. 3 of the 4 codes having to do with the 'B' sensor. The 'slow response' code may be the cause of the other three due to the fact that the camshaft position isn't where it is expected to be at a given instant (because of slow response).

The oil should be a 0W-20 synthetic meeting Chrysler MS-6395 (read the back label of the jug). In cold weather especially, oil can thicken and slow the reaction time of the hydraulics.
There is also a hydraulic actuator 'cleaning' operation that can be done with a capable tool:

Any recent maintenance done, e.g. oil/filter change?
I was under the impression that my engine requires a 5W - 20?
Also I changed the sensors and now am only getting P000b code
yes jsut replaced the oil and filter but these codes were before that change
You are correct. 5W-20.

Try the solenoid cleaning next? The slow response may be causing the other codes to set.

I just had this problem if you’ve got the V6 change out the exhaust cam on bank 1 the black magnetic bit wears out over time. Got one from a junkyard for $30 and installed myself.
