★ Top Answer
The P0016 error code on your 2010 Chevy Equinox indicates a discrepancy between the Crankshaft and Camshaft positions. This discrepancy may be due to various factors, such as a worn timing belt, a malfunctioning cam sensor, or a faulty crank sensor. If the timing belt is significantly stretched or broken, the engine may not operate properly. If you receive the error code but the engine is running smoothly, the issue likely involves a sensor problem. However, if the engine is not running, you will need to replace the timing belt, which can be a challenging task without the necessary tools and expertise.
