Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2007 Isuzu i-370, 2007 GMC Canyon, and 2007 Chevrolet Colorado. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC P0013

Step	Action	Value(s)	Yes	No
Schematic Reference: Engine Controls Schematics Connector End View Reference: Powertrain Control Module Connector End Views or Engine Controls Connector End Views
1	Did you perform the Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Diagnostic System Check - Vehicle
2	Start the engine. Allow the engine to reach operating temperature. Increase the engine speed to 1,500 RPM. Command the cam phaser to 90 percent with a scan tool. Does the Cam Phase Actual parameter match the Cam Phase Angle Desired parameter?	-	Go to Step 3	Go to Step 4
3	Observe the Freeze Frame/Failure Records for this DTC. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 4	Go to Intermittent Conditions
4	Turn OFF the ignition. Disconnect the camshaft position (CMP) actuator solenoid. Turn ON the ignition, with the engine OFF. Measure the voltage from the CMP actuator solenoid high control circuit to a good ground with a DMM. Is the voltage less than the specified value?	B+	Go to Step 7	Go to Step 5
5	Connect a test lamp between the CMP actuator solenoid high control circuit and a good ground. Does the test lamp illuminate?	-	Go to Step 9	Go to Step 6
6	Connect a test lamp between the low reference circuit of the CMP actuator solenoid and B+. Does the test lamp illuminate?	-	Go to Step 11	Go to Step 8
7	Test the CMP actuator solenoid high control circuit for an open or short to ground. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 10
8	Test the low reference circuit of the CMP actuator solenoid for an open. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 10
9	Test the CMP actuator solenoid high control circuit for a short to voltage. Refer to Circuit Testing and Wiring Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 12
10	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the powertrain control module (PCM). Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 12
11	Test for an intermittent and for a poor connection at the CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Testing for Intermittent Conditions and Poor Connections and Connector Repairs . Did you find and correct the condition?	-	Go to Step 14	Go to Step 13
12	Replace the PCM. Refer to Control Module References for replacement, setup, and programming. Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 14	-
13	Replace the CMP actuator solenoid. Refer to Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid Valve Replacement . Did you complete the replacement?	-	Go to Step 14	-
14	Clear the DTCs with a scan tool. Turn OFF the ignition for 30 seconds. Start the engine. Operate the vehicle within the Conditions for Running the DTC. You may also operate the vehicle within the conditions that you observed from the Freeze Frame/Failure Records. Did the DTC fail this ignition?	-	Go to Step 2	Go to Step 15
15	Observe the capture Info with a scan tool. Are there any DTCs that have not been diagnosed?	-	Go to Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) List - Vehicle	System OK
