The P0013 code in the 2011 Chevy Equinox indicates the ECM has detected a timing issue related to the oil control valve. The error is thrown by the engine control module when a camshaft is experiencing a shorted or open OCV. The OCV is responsible for regulating the supply of oil used to speed up or slow down the engine's firing or timing by changing the camshaft's angle. The P0013 code translates to an illuminated "check engine" light; mIS Firing; reduced fuel economy; difficulty starting; a rough idle and stalling. The repairs associated with P0013 can involve just a reset or checking wiring. Replacing the OCV itself costs between $180-$360 in parts and labor, but replacing ECM causes the repair to become exponentially more expensive.
