If your Chevy Equinox shows a P0013 error code, it means there is an issue with the Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit Open Bank 1. Potential causes include low engine oil level, a faulty VTC oil control solenoid or circuit, or problems with the timing chain or tensioner. The error code stems from the VTC actuator, which adjusts valve timing to match driving conditions. Repair costs can range from $300 to $500, covering both labor and parts at the auto shop.
The P0013 engine code on a Chevy Equinox refers to the "B" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit for Bank 1.
