P0014 is a generic code in OBD-II systems that indicates the engine control module (ECM) has detected that the exhaust camshaft in bank 1 is operating ahead of the ECM's instructions. This over-advanced situation may occur during adjustments in the camshaft timing. The ECM serves as the primary computer overseeing many aspects of the vehicle's engine performance and drivability. It collects data from the engine's sensors to adjust engine spark and fuel levels for optimal power and efficiency. Replacing the ECM typically costs around $800 for the part and $100 for labor, totaling an average of $900.

    Hello, I own a 2016 Chevy Equinox and I have encountered error codes P014, P013, P010, and P0455. I have replaced the three sensors, but the same codes reappear during scanning. If you have a solution, please let me know.

    Requires a new timing chain or improved chains if you have already replaced the sensor and the solenoid.
