Early this afternoon, my car jerked a tiny bit when I was accelerating. On my way home, I noticed my check engine light was on. I had someone scan it, and it came up with code "P0013" -- a "B" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit Malfunction

I don't think it's my oil... could be, but I'm not positive. I'm still a little over a month from being due for another oil change.

Any ideas on what it is, or what I should do? Also, any ideas on how much it could cost to repair?

 

Bad Wiring, CMP actuator bad, ECM issues. Actuator replacement about $175.00 at a shop.

Good vid but why anyone would use a muddy or dirty wrench is beyond my ken. Pretty stupid, IMO.

 

Massive class action law suit and Special Coverage Adjustment for 2012 Equinoxes for oil consumpton, timing belts, bolts, and other engine issues. The coverage ended after 7.5 years after the vehicle was put into service, so it ended 2019/2020... SELL IT BEFORE IT DIES.
