How to Test & Replace Camshaft Position Solenoid - Code P0014 - 2015 Chevy Equinox 2.4 Liter Engine

[@stronghold04]

Thanks, I was able to get this done in 15 minutes. Best demo on KZbin.

[@JohnCRV]

Glad it helped! Thank you for the feedback.

[@Reviewing_Playing_and_More_RPM]

Those scanners that read the codes saved me thousands of dollars, a friend had one and it found the code and he helped me replace it and only cost about $150 in parts and about 3 hours of time. A garage would have charged a fortune. I fixed 3 items in the car I had and had the vehicle the longest ever I've owned one. They are an amazing item. Great job finding and fixing the issue. Well done.

[@JohnCRV]

I have this OBDII for a couple of years and came in handy quite a few times between my vehicles and my sons. I agree it's well worth the investment. Should have mentioned good Multimeter as well.

I have a used 2016 chevy equinox ltz awd and I've changed the P0011 twice since I bought it in June it has 52270 just got a oil change and the check engine light has come back on getting it looked at Monday hopefully it's nothing major

[@JohnCRV]

Let us know what's up. It may help someone. Thanks

[@margaretcoello169]

I have a chevy equinox 2012 LT and today I was about to go to do some errands and I notice the engine light on . I have the t-mobile obd In the car so I looked at it a saw the P0014 then I use the fixed obd and same thing the same code . I'm a new driver and don't understand what caused this because I'm usually pretty good on Taking my car for maintenance when it's due can you explain what this happen and how to fix it

[@JohnCRV]

Dirty oil can be one other cause.

[@SuzukiKid400]

Check your oil level.

[@OscarVaughn]

This is great because I need to do this but I also have to change the throttle body because our sensor is bad. Hopefully its easy enough to do i broke my back a handful of years ago so things aren't as easy as they used to be. Thanks for this video

[@JohnCRV]

You're welcome. Glad it helped.

[@nononsensegalnononsensegal4967]

I recently had a new camshaft changed placed due to the code, I drove it for a while the check engine light came back on. I returned to the mechanic and he cleaned and asked me if I had a recent oil change which I did . Could this also result in a timing issue?

[@JohnCRV]

As I mentioned in the video, Its possible , the last resort is a timing issue. I would wait till the engine light comes back on. It could be there was residue from the oil that clogged it again. One thing about these 4 c engines, they need oil change when its due. So hopefully you wont need to go further.

[@achief7360]

Is 2012 Chevy equinox the same ? I mean are those sensors in the same spot as well ?

[@JohnCRV]

yes

[@genesishidalgo6504]

Those brown clips that you took off the connector where can I get those ? And are they essential? One broke when we tried to remove it and we’re not sure where to purchase it

[@JohnCRV]

If you mean the clips that lock the plugs into the solenoids, their purpose is to prevent the the plugs from vibrating off. I'm sure the it's ok to temporarily operate the vehicle without them but I would look for the new ones at an auto parts store.

my engine light come back on even after replacing both solenoids.. any advice???

[@JohnCRV]

Did you get the code?

[@meuysaeteurn9283]

What if I took my equinox to the mechanic and they replaced this exact same thing because I was told it was my solenoid and replaced it but the check engine light came back a few hours later ? They can’t seem to figure out what it is and that they recommended me to get a new cpu , would that cause an engine light issue?

[@JohnCRV]

WOW, you definitely need a second opinion on that. We are not licensed technicians but the CPU is usually the last thing to replace... There's 2 solenoids and sensors as well that give similar codes... Be careful...

[@meuysaeteurn9283]

Thanks so much , I will definitely get a second opinion

[@meuysaeteurn9283]

Also from what their reports said they had replaced the sensors also.

[@JohnCRV]

@@meuysaeteurn9283 They still got the same code?

[@TatianasJourney]

Was your car not starting before replacing them?

[@Kloco78]

I changed this part but the engine light is still on and I don’t have the engine code tool. Any advice?

[@JohnCRV]

Need an obd II or need to go to a mechanic.

[@SuzukiKid400]

Sometimes unplugging the battery for 15 min and then plugging it back in erases codes. Either that or driving the car for 7 run cycles may reset it if the issue is truly gone.

[@rickyking-gonzalez393]

what happens if replace the solenoid and tested them they click but u get the code back

[@JohnCRV]

Did you clear the code after you replaced it?

[@rickyking-gonzalez393]

cleared code with scanner and took negative battery cable off

[@btspaintingstudio]

Thanks for the tips

[@JohnCRV]

Any time

[@KidFriendlyGaming]

I've changed my solenoids 3x now and the CEL came back on. I already did a fuel system cleaning and recent oil change. The car seems to run fine so I don't know if I should just ignore it or not.

[@JohnCRV]

Did you use an OBD to reset the engine warning?

[@KidFriendlyGaming]

@@JohnCRV yes and it unfortunately came back a day later. I'm gonna try some Lucas complete engine treatment in the oil because I don't know what else to do. I've already cleaned the throttle body as well

[@JohnCRV]

If the code was Code P0014 it should have went away.

[@KidFriendlyGaming]

@@JohnCRV oh yeah it did but it came back. I saw there's other things that can cause this code. It's just a PITA only 60k miles and I saw yours in the vid had half that. Smh

[@JohnCRV]

@@KidFriendlyGaming You may want to bring it to a mechanic with a good scanner. You never know.

[@ctb365]

What settings do I set my multimeter on,?

[@JohnCRV]

Sorry I missed your question. The setting depends on the type multimeter you have but it should be on Ohms. This setting is used to measure the resistance, which is measured in ohms. The function on its own is called an ohmmeter. A great way to check the accuracy of your multi meter is to get a resistor that you know the resistance of, and use the ohms setting to test the resistance. If it reads correctly, you can be sure that your DMM is accurate. The ohm setting also a quick and easy way to test the condition of fuses - if the meter reads OL, the you can be sure the fuse has blown. SAFETY NOTE: only test fuses with the ohms setting when they are OUT of the circuit. Check this link for more info; www.themultimeterguide.com/multimeter-symbols-guide/

[@tarinafoster5962]

I have a question, I initially took my car In that read brake vacuum booster sensor. Because I could not push the brake down to stop the vehicle, I was practically standing on it to stop. And it happened all of a sudden. Now after order a sensor for what I thought was the problem, Which I Could only do at the dealership. TheYve had my Vehicle since sept the 14. Which they just informed me it Was the time Chain $2000. Now it’s the cam shaft which they said could Not be coded. But here’s a video for it and it’s the same one that’s on the invoice paper.

[@JohnCRV]

That is weird! All these issues at once would make me wonder as well. Not sure what to tell you but sounds like a misdiagnose happened there, which happens but that's an expensive misdiagnose in which they should give some kind of discount. But I doubt that will happen from a dealer.

[@precisiont5188]

Dealerships lie to make money often. They did something similar to me. You can't trust them. The best we can do it learn to do everything ourselves. The stealerships cheated me out of $5,000 dollars and would not honor their warranty another time. They lied, etc

[@jorgecarrejo]

I replaced both and now I got p0011 on my 2015 chevy equinox LS.. Anyone know why?

[@JohnCRV]

The first thing you should do when you have this code is check your Equinox’s oil. If the oil level is too low, the camshaft actuators won’t work properly.

[@jorgecarrejo]

@@JohnCRV unfortunately the oil is perfect.. What else could be the problem.. And before I replaced these 2, I had p0013 and p0014.. Now it's only p0011.

[@JohnCRV]

@@jorgecarrejo You have done the following: If it has been a long time since you’ve changed your vehicle’s oil, or you find that there may be a reason to believe that the oil thickness is wrong, change the oil and see if that clears P0011 in your Chevy Equinox. You have changed intake actuator for a 10 or 11 code and or the exhaust actuator for a 13 or 14 code. Changing the intake actuator should have fixed code 11 as well, the only think I can tell you is to check the electric connection to it to make sure it's making good contact. If all the above doesn’t remove codes, then timing chain/belt jumped. You’ll have to get some mechanic advice with that. Good luck!
