What Does the P1013 Code Mean?

The Camshaft Position (CMP) actuator system enables the Engine Control Module (ECM) to change the camshaft timing of all 4 camshafts while the engine is operating. The CMP actuator assembly varies the camshaft position in response to directional changes in oil pressure. The CMP actuator solenoid controls the oil pressure that is applied to advance or retard a camshaft.
The CMP actuator assemblies have an outer housing that is driven by the engine timing chain. Inside the CMP assembly is a wheel with fixed vanes that is attached to the camshafts. The CMP actuator assemblies are also equipped with a locking pin. The locking pin prevents movement between the outer housing and the wheel vane assembly on engine start-ups. The CMP actuator is locked until sufficient oil pressure is available to control the CMP actuator. The locking pin is released by oil pressure before any movement in the CMP actuator assembly takes place. If the ECM detects that the CMP actuator is not in the locked position on a start-up, this Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) sets.
