Hi, I'm Steve, nonda's lead mechanic engineer. Feel free to leave your comments here if you have any mechanic questions, I will be glad to help you out!
How you get 6.9~7.9 ohm as resistance acceptance range ? manufacturer recommendation? Is that same for intake/exhaust solenoid valve? anyway thanks for this video, currently my Captiva 2015 2.4L pop up engine check with scan result P0013. now i'm still considering either only clean up or should replace these solenoid.
Greetings from Seattle, I have a 2007 Mini Cooper and I just had a diagnostic test. The same code came up and I’m trying to figure out which specific VVT needs to be replaced. I have two, but when I researched the codes meaning it’s referred to as the variable valve timing solenoid on bank 1 of my engine. Your video was super helpful, but do you think you know which specific VVT my Cooper is telling me? Thanks❤
My husbands 2011 Malibu just got this code. He had an oil change less than a month ago. Does that mean he should have it changed again? Or start with #2 in the video?
Hi, Steve. Thanks a lot for the video. My chevy equinox 2015 has had checking engine light on for a while. But it has no symptoms at all. The code is P0013. I checked both intake and exhaust solenoids. Both of the resistances are 11.2 ohms. Do I need to change both of them? Thanks again.
What the video fails to mention is that you have to remove the valve cover to get to the camshaft oil control valve which takes a lot more than 4 minutes.
On the Mercedes E320, 2016, the solenoid valve is mechanical only. Ran engine flush to loosen any clogged oil in the solenoid. Getting BOTH intake and Exhausts on Bank 2 not working (cam sensors and actuator sensor, plus misfire faults all on Bank 2. Help
Hi Mustafa, we suggest getting your vehicle visually inspected by your local mechanic for further diagnosis as you are receiving more than one error code.
Hello, I have a 2011 Mini Cooper Countryman S All4, I have a code P0013, I have changed out my camshaft actuator sensor, camshaft oil control valve, changed oil. I still have the code. Can you help me how to pin point the problem?
I have this engine code can I do it myself or is it a complicated job I need to change the phaser do I buy the part and do it myself or should I pay the dealership to fix it anyone can help please and thank you
Yes, you can. These videos we published are created specially for people like you so you could fix any error codes by yourself in the easiest, quickest, and cheapest way. Kindly follow how we fixed p0013 by checking the oil level, testing/replacing the Camshaft Oil Control Valve and replacing the engine oil. Thanks for watching!
I'm going to change my oil tomorrow... If that's all it was I'm going to be upset. I got that code then the scanner started talking about the oxygen sensor. I changed that at 150.00. A couple of hrs later still got that code.
Hi Daniel, kindly check all the electrical connectors and for shorted wiring from the ECM if there's any, then fix it to see if the issue will still persist. Check the OCV if the resistance is correct.
@@nondainc hi, mine is a 2009 Chevy cobalt. Maybe I took the wrong piece off, it was near the circled location? The piece I took off was on front of & end of oil block & all plastic except 3 pins. It looked nothing like your video part? Is it further to side or back? My engine doesn’t look like video, there’s no black covers on either side. Part I took off didn’t look like yours or a intake or exhaust valve? Here’s what reader says, P00013 = B Camshaft position actuator A control circuit/ open bank 1.
@WHATEVER Did you get it figured out? I have a 2019 Ford Taurus & that code popped up, said the same exact thing. So I bought the exhaust camshaft position sensor, which I believe is the part you're describing. I didn't get to install yet, as winter is just getting over here, and no garage. I believe the parts their showing here on the video are the VVT solenoids? Which I know do go out & need replacing, but in our situation for the code we got..Idk lol yeah a bit confusing. Lemme know what /if you got yours figured out. Thanks
@@HuskerRed11 yes ur right this is not titled right or wrong video for that code?!?! I did do the video part though & just cleaned inside with cue tip & wiped off the oil & put it back. It hasn’t given me a bad code since, not sure why it tells us that code though? I replaced exhaust solenoid 2 yrs ago, with an OE part… Oil change is coming up too but either video code is incorrect cause car is running fine & error free since I cleaned VVT black sensor for oil. My camshaft oil part didn’t look like this In engine area no prongs to test, it was all plastic but as I said cleaned sensor & around threads in block & removed some gunk perhaps affecting sensor?
@@MYSONMYBUDDY Yup I believe that's what I was told also, to replace the all plastic exhaust camshaft position actuator sensor, after disconnecting the negative battery terminal first. Then after replacing the sensor, hooking the battery back up, if that amount of time replacing sensor doesn't turn check engine light off, use scan tool. Also, trying changing your oil too, I guess that helps some ppl in these instances. Lemme know how it goes.
I'm getting this code only p0013 on my opel which is american buick regal / vauxhall insignia 2.0 turbo 4x4 162kw automatic. code deleted and did not appear back any suggestion ? errr said " camshaft position (cmp) actuator exhaust right rear bank 1 circuit malfunction
This is not relevant for a Peugeot 2010 1.6, this error code is for something else entirety, I don't understand why car manufacturers would use the same error codes to mean completely different thingts.
Hi Exandre, please double check if there's any other code that will register and provide us with your vehicle's year, make and model so we can address your concern accurately.
