P0013 - "B" Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit (Bank 1)
P0014 - "B" Camshaft Position - Timing Over-Advanced or System Performance (Bank 1)


Those two codes came up on my truck yesterday and I'm not sure what they mean. The truck is a 2011 F-250 with just under 40k miles. Is this something that is covered in the 5yr/60k powertrain warranty? Or would this be something that falls under the emissions warranty (which it is still under).


From what I read, this involves either something wrong with the camshaft timing, a wiring issue, a solenoid problem, or continuous oil flow to the vct piston chamber (I just read what it said....I didn't say I knew what it meant!)


If anybody can help me fix this myself or has any other ideas/suggestions I'd really appreciate it. It's supposed to make an interstate trek next weekend and I don't want to get stranded somewhere!

 

If it is under warranty call first thing tomorrow stress that you have an important trip and see if they can get you in. Don't be afraid to call more than one dealer if there are any reputable ones in your area.

 

I called Saturday afternoon just after service at the dealership closed. They returned my call first thing Monday, which was great, but the light is out now! When it got plugged in, there were no codes that came up. I hope it was just a glitch or a loose wire or something because everything seems to be ok and running fine. We'll see what happens!
