2009 2.2l p0013
Daughters 09 cobalt is getting a P0013 Exhaust Camshaft Position (CMP) Actuator Solenoid Control Circuit...
Haven't had a chance to check it out yet, will check the connections and wire harness to the sensors first as well as the oil level as I understand that can also trigger the code...

Checked the oil level and it was fine....
I pulled the engine cover off and found the wire harness looms were disintegrating falling a part , I removed the rotted wire loom and re-wrapped with insulated heat tape and left the engine cover off for the time being.
Daughter reports that the engine light is not coming on any more when she starts it in the morning...
I suspect that the wire loom breaking down was allowing for heat and interference maybe even shorting to happen. will monitor it for a week and see...
Here is the tape that I used..

As a follow up to this post, the code came back intermittently over the past few weeks, I ordered a replacement exhaust cam shaft actuator (OEM) from Amazon ~$38 and replaced, cleared codes and will monitor...
If you need to replace either of the actuators, be sure to used compressed air to blow out the pocketed/countersunk area that the actuators sit in to prevent any debris from falling in to the engine....
Also a light coating of engine oil on the o-ring of the new actuator prior to installing will ease install and help prevent tearing of the o-ring while installing...
this is a very easy fix should you experience the failure..

Well here we are about 6 weeks later and now a P0010, the intake actuator...
