|What is P0013 ISUZU code meaning?
The Powertrain Control Module (
PCM) detects that the actual state of the camshaft position solenoid does not match the intended state. The
PCM monitors the Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) circuit for high and low voltage. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set if the voltage exceeds a calibrated limit for a calibrated amount of time.
