Thanks for showing this. I had a bank 2 exhaust code, so I’m replacing all 4. Bank 2 is super easy. I didn’t think there was room to take out the bank 1 solenoids because the strut tower is so close.
Just a heads up to all of you that are having this problem with your 3.6 Impala. GM actually extended the warranty for this issue to 10 years 120000 miles. GM will cover 100 percent of repairs. Other than that thank you for the video, very informative and will help me repair at home once my car is out of warranty since this seems to be an ongoing issue with the 3.6 engine.
The special coverage adjustment that provides free dealer service for this malfunction referenced in the above comment was: 16115 Camshaft Position Oil Control Valve Warranty. Reference number N162058270
I appreciate the video. I was getting ready to hole saw a hole into the strut tower. Not really, but this video helped put me at ease about swapping the solenoid.
Thanks so much for sharing, I was confused which was the intake and exhaust side lol. I have a 2012 Impala LT with 166K and the same code and CEL. Picked up the solenoid today and will be replacing tomorrow morning.
Update: I replaced the part the next day and the CEL went off for about 120 miles before coming back on but it was for a different code (purge valve). Now, she's ready for inspection and a few road trips. Thanks again for sharing!
Great video. I did the intake solenoids last summer. I had about 125k on it. I should have done them all but did not want to spend more, I recommend replacing the oil at the same time. Many times over the years I have seen cam timing issues caused by low and or dirty oil.
@@urielgomez3701 It is all about the code. This is the most common problem. If changing the oil and replacing the solenoids does not fix it, you have other issues. I will be doing both exhaust solenoids and oil change, because I have new codes like P0014- and P0024. The intake solenoids did fix my first issue. two months ago.
Thanks for the video, and speaking clearly and slow enough, very easy to hear and understand you. I have this code P0014 on my 2014 Impala Limited LTZ. I will be replacing the part soon. I appreciate it very much.
I’m getting p0011 on 12 Malibu 3.6l. It’s on the side like this one. You think it’ll be easy to take out like that one? Autozone told me I’d have to pull the engine out to get to it.
I had a P0011 and a P0014 engine code so I changed the solenoid. The engine light stayed off which is great. now I notice an oil leak coming from the solenoid I change. is there a way I can change the seal? what do you recommend? tag a part number to a seal if you can. Thanks
@@relaxingsleepingnoises In theory its that simple. But there is not much room to work so that makes it a little more challenging. Usually its a quick job, and pops right out, but every once and a while, the seal is siezed in the hole. Hopefully yours goes smoothly. Good luck.
My wife has to drive the car 200 miles to get it back here where I can replace the part, do you see any problem with her driving it that far before the part is replaced? Thanks
It should be fine, where i work we have a police fleet, and some of them hardly ever mention when the CE light is on, and they will drive weeks with this code sometimes before they bring it in for repairs!
I have been lucky with not getting any leaks and not replacing the seal. Where I work we have a fleet that currently contains in it roughly 50 Impalas, I have replaced over 2 dozen and have not had any leaks yet. I hope I did not jinx it by saying that!
@@luckyandy76 that's cool. Yeah I have this evap code that came on too and then went off the next day. Already changed the purge solenoid so gonna change the gas cap and see.
I believe so. First thing is making sure oil is in good condition. If a scanner has is available i would rev to 2500rpm and watch exhaust cam position. But honestly it has fixed that code on all the units i have had pop up with that code.
Sorry for the late reply. I have never seen any that caused that. So you have a crank, no start condition? First thing i would do is check for codes. Then fuel pressure would be the next thing i would check. Good luck, i hope ya get it running.
Please help! We changed the oil and both Exhaust camshaft position actuator solenoids 1 & 2 and still engine light comes on! Car runs well with no changes on power of acceleration...
@@riverasuarezadv well both codes are for the ecm detecting a difference between the actual and desired camshaft position angle of 5 degrees for more than 10 seconds. Assuming there have been no recent engine repairs, the best way to diagnose would be with a scan tool and a labscope and ohm meter. But on snap on, shopkey pro software they state the second most likely fix for this issue is a camshaft position sensor. But that would just be a shot in the dark, as the other repairs get more and more involved I would recommend a true diagnostics with a scan tool. As it could be multiple things, my co worker says he seen where the cam postion actuator has gone bad and caused those codes. Sorry i cant be of more help. I hope you find the fix.

Got a reference on that?

Cam timing issues is the same fix?

This is my exact issue! There is space around the solenoid itself. I’m so glad I found your video and comments
You are the man brother!!!
how can i get the digram of my engine?

The evap vent solenoid up in the driver's rear quarter panel like to go bad also. I think it usually spits a po455 or po442 code, if i remember right.
@@luckyandy76 yeah that one has been changed also. I'm hoping just gas cap since those have both been fixed.
Where is bank 2? The P0024 code
I have a question, I just replaced both of them and the code popped up again what can it be .?
Could be low oil! Or bad oil, do an oil change and clear the code if you’re not having any symptoms!
Mine says "P0014 exhaust camshaft position timing-over advanced (bank 1)" is that the same thing?
I believe so. First thing is making sure oil is in good condition. If a scanner has is available i would rev to 2500rpm and watch exhaust cam position. But honestly it has fixed that code on all the units i have had pop up with that code.
Will it cause the car from cranking up
