I have the same problem with my 2015 Chevy Malibu. A auto shop was going to charge me $800+ to get it fixed. This was very helpful! Thank you! Although I am not going to physically fix it, at least I know the piece I need to buy and I can get someone to do it.. lol
Change Both and also the oil control valve because if you have this issue the other will go bad soon… second idk if it has anything to do with the issue but I use to do the oil change every 10k on my 2015 Malibu and I noticed the issue never came back when I switch to 5k oil change intervals and my car has roughly 265k right now and still running
Is it? My vvt solenoid was completely dead, no resistance whatsoever with a p0011 as well. Replaced it and p0011 went away but p16d0 is still hanging out
Question maybe someone can help, have had my light on for far too long and can't pass emission, this video is REALLY HELPFUL and im fixing this tomorrow. My question is does doing this also clear code 16CF?
Thank you my friend, im having the same problem, it reads manufacture control P16D0. Do i but a quart of oil and rub it on the part. Is my code the same problem as yours.
dirty oil causes these to fail , use some sea foam in the engine oil to prevent sludge build up and keep the engine components work like new!! worked on my car
Dirty oil isn’t always the case. It’s mainly faulty electronics in these sensors. I bought my 14 Malibu brand new and have always changed my oil before it needed to be done so my block always has nice light brown oil.
@@dylanb330 no unfortunately I did not I changed out spark plugs, o2 sensor , and rocker arm solenoid even changed my battery and still have the same problem but the car runs fine I don't know what else to do I'm gonna change the spark plug coil packs and see what that does.
Hello i have the same car but my code is p16d2 i need to replace the part or only y need to chanche my battery? Because this code means intake rocker arm circuit low voltage
I have a 2015 Chev Malibu with 177000 km and it shows code 0089 and code 0016. Code 0089 says it's the fuel pressure regulator and the 0016 says it's the bank 1 camshaft position sensor. I called the dealership for the price of the FPR and they tell me they don't have one on the computer. A dummy like me believes him because I don't find any videos of anyone working on the 2015 which seems to be different than the others in the engine. Any information would be a appreciated as I have no clue where to find, even the line to fuel pressure test. Thanks
This code is on a recall with chevy right now. They sent me a paper last month and now i have this code, also a oil leak. So if it happens again they will fix it for free 🙂
This happened to my vehicle and was the rocker arm control valve. Regardless, if your vehicle is still under 5 year/100,000 mile power train warranty it is covered. Take it to the dealership before just deciding to fix it yourself.
If Stealership denies try another Stealership, sorry I mean Dealership. They usually tell you all kinds of things. I personally don’t know which one to trust anymore. Most of the times they just do not know the full deatails and extent of warranties, so they say no to get rid of you easily sometimes.
Great video I wish I would have been able to see how the wiring harness pulled out but I got it figured out and changed mine today. How long did it take before your check engine light turned off or did you clear it with a OBD tool.
Thank you. You did great! Got to be careful with that wire connection there. I almost broke mine too. The check engine light went out right after I started my vehicle actually. The same code just came again about a month later. The P16D0 Code. We just replaced the the Rocker Arm Oil Control Solenoid Valve, this part is cost me $90 at Chevy dealership. Will try to post that next.
The code P16D0 is for the Intake rocker arm solenoid valve 2 stuck off. The solenoid you replaced is for theVariable Valve Timing system and NOT the rocker arm control system. The intake rocker arm solenoids are in the center/back side of the valve cover. You replaced the wrong part that had nothing to do with your code. Maybe know what you're doing before posting a video on RUclips because who knows how many people replaced the wrong part because of your video. You really should take this video down so more people don't waste their time and money.
I am so confused, I myself have a 14 Chevy Malibu mine at first was p0013-14 and now it's not that? So they are saying it's my camshaft sensors.. but when I google it they show me solenoids.. now it's the oil pressure that sits right in top of the Engine. I got to double check all now
I am replacing both valves and the oil control valve just to knock out all 3 possibilities I’ve read about. Question: when I removed the intake and exhaust valves, only the exhaust valve had a plastic snap on cap on the end, but both new valves have these caps. What’s the deal here?
I am not sure Jim. They both usually look the same. Maybe somehow it broke or something happened to it. As you say " both new valves have these caps". Good luck! Cheers.
Hello. I am guessing you mean MAF SENSOR? Mass Air Flow SENSOR? If you mean MAF Sensor than it is attached to the plastic pipe/intake boot that is connected to your air filter box/housing. Here is a demo for an older Malibu: ruclips.net/video/s83_2JZhOVI/видео.html
hey bud I'm having the exact same problem and replaced the part two times already and withing a day it comes back. it shows you commented 5 months ago, did you get it fixed and if so what seems to be the problem?
Most likely. Sometimes can be exhaust one or the "OIL CONTROL VALVE" that is part of the engine oil cycle. Gives the same P16D0 DTC code. Using Synthetic oil helps prevent it. Also do oil changes ahead of schedule. These run pretty hot from what I hear. Good luck!!!
Just replaced the exhaust one on mine. Light only stayed on for a day and went off the following morning. I replaced it anyway. Thinking about doing the intake one just to be on the safe side. Also these 2.5 eco tecs call for 5w20 synthetic blend which I can only find for motor craft which is recommended by ford so I just use penzoil 5w20 full synthetic which is dexos approved for GM
@@fixit3879 Only use a full synthetic oil on the 2.5L.... Castrol Edge is the best you can buy (yes even Mobil 1) , change it every 10k with a Purolator 1 or equal filter....
After 300 miles of driving and couple hundred starts the engine is running good now. That intake solenoid valve replacement took care of the Check Engine P16D0 Code. No more check engine light now. Good luck with yours!!! Remember this video is for codes P16D0 and P16D1
I replaced that same part and im still getting p16d0 i 2015 chevy malibu ls i check the gally plugs and they were okay no oil leak i erased the code and it keeps coming back p16d0!?..Any ideas???
@@guillermomadrid5691 Replace the variable valve timing oil control solenoid located behind the valve cover.you will need to remove the air intake assembly
About 2 months later the same code came up again and this time it was the Rocker arm Oil Control Valve on mine too at 72K miles. This sucks. I got the part for around $95 and a mechanic friend replaced it while I was busy with work. He did it for $50. It fixed the P16D0 code again.
I changed both of those in my car I had code pc0014 and now my car occasionally shuts off at stop lights and idled rough. Any suggestions? The check engine light is not in which makes it hard to know what it could be
How many miles do you have on the car? Have you recently changed the engine oil? What about the air filter? It could be one of many things, it is hard to tell without checking the car. Does yours have Start/Stop option for gas saving? I replaced the oil control valve once, which helped with vehicle idling rough and shaking at 30-40 mph speed. Here is that video: ruclips.net/video/gbACkPvNyrY/видео.html I would also try cleaning your MAF SENSOR, changing your air filter, and a fresh oil change as a cheap fix for diagnostics.
Rudy I hope that camshaft position sensor helps. It does sound like you may have sensor problems. Also check your related fuses to make sure they are fine. And keep the engine oil synthetic, because modern engines run pretty hot. Good luck Rudy! Let me know how it goes!
So I changed the part and about 8 miles of driving the check engine light 💡 came back on again with the same code 16D0 so I’m wondering what could be the problem? Anyone else has this issue?

Hey my friend how change the canister vent valve solenoid for a Chevy Malibu LT 2013

Change Both and also the oil control valve because if you have this issue the other will go bad soon… second idk if it has anything to do with the issue but I use to do the oil change every 10k on my 2015 Malibu and I noticed the issue never came back when I switch to 5k oil change intervals and my car has roughly 265k right now and still running
the problem is the oil pressure switch located behind the valve cover ,you are not getting oil pressure to engage the variable valve timing oil circut
