Some GMC Terrain owners report experiencing a persistent Check Engine Light accompanied by a P0013 code, even after replacing both camshaft position actuators. These issues may stem from improper installation of the new actuators or faulty electrical connections related to them. Additionally, owners are advised to conduct a thorough diagnostic check to uncover other potential faults, such as problems with the camshaft position sensor or engine timing components. Some owners also find that issues with the oil control valve, which regulates oil flow to the camshaft, can contribute to the persistence of the P0013 code. If these steps do not resolve the issue, seeking assistance from a professional mechanic or dealership experienced in diagnosing complex engine problems is recommended.
