📖 WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

🔍 SYMPTOMS OF P0013 CODE:
Check engine light (intermittent or constant)
Code P0013: Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit/Open Bank 1
Rough idle or poor engine performance
Reduced fuel economy
Hard starting or long crank times
VVT system not functioning properly

Other GM vehicles with 2.4L Ecotec engine

⚙️ IMPORTANT: TWO CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSORS
*Intake CPS* - Located in FRONT (easier access)
*Exhaust CPS* - Located in REAR (this video) between engine and firewall (more difficult)

P0013 typically indicates the exhaust (rear) sensor needs replacement.

🔧 OTHER POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS:
Before replacing the sensor, consider:
Cleaning or replacing VVT solenoid
Ensuring regular oil changes with correct Dexos synthetic oil
Low or dirty oil can cause this code

However, if cleaning doesn't resolve it, the sensor usually needs replacement.

💡 DIFFICULTY: Moderate to difficult - rear location requires patience and good lighting. Magnetic work lights and pick tools are essential!
