Problem overview

Some Chevrolet Equinox owners report experiencing issues with the check engine light, often linked to problems with the camshaft timing or cylinder misfires. These owners note that the emission system sensors can be responsible for up to 50% of check engine light occurrences. Many find that replacing both timing sensors can help resolve the underlying cause of the check engine light, preventing further vehicle issues. It is emphasized that addressing the root cause is essential, as merely resetting the light without fixing the underlying problem is only a temporary fix. Therefore, if timing sensors are identified as the culprit, replacing them can be an effective step toward resolving the check engine light issue in their Chevrolet Equinox.
