You have a problem with the blower motor resistor. This is a very commen problem on all gm cars and light trucks. The part is not to pricey. You can find the resistor under the glove box buy the blower motor. Two bolts and out it comes.

SOURCE: I have a HHR 2006

A P0010 code refers to the VVT (variable valve timing) or VCT (variable camshaft timing) components and the car's PCM (powertrain control module). That consists of an oil control valve (OCV), also called a solenoid valve and other components. Basically the check engine light and associated P0010 trouble code means that the voltage in the circuit has fallen below a set limit for a specific amount of time (varies by make/model/engine).

A code P0010 may mean that one or more of the following has happened:

Faulty oil control valve (OCV)
Open or short in the VVT/VCT circuit
Open or short in the OCV / solenoid valve
Damaged computer (PCM)

Solution:

Carefully inspect the Bank 1 VVT/VCT system circuit wiring and connectors, repair as required
With a warm engine, test the operation of the OCV, replace/repair as needed

Hello Pete...This is a common problem on the Cobalt, you have a defective switch. GM issued a bulletin on this problem. The ignition switch and housing were replaced to correct it,
Talk to your dealer about it, they are aware of it and should repair it at no cost to you.
Good luck & i hope this helps.

SOURCE: I replaced my camshaft position sensor in my 2009 chevy cobalt..how do I fix the timing? It's still off.

for starters you should have set your number one piston at top dead center (TDC) before you just changed the sensor, All it need is to be one or two teeth out on the timing chain to run rough, here is a link to a guide on how to solve this problem , I hope it helps:

2011 Malibu. Got code readings of p0010/11 and the O2 code. Replaced the O2 & camshaft sensors and the cam solenoids. Still starts fine but dies as if not getting gas.

code p 0010 refers to the camshaft position actuator(CMP) intake /left/ front bank 1--circuit malfunction====causes --wiring--CMP actuator--ECM
code p 0011 refers tocan m shaft actuator (CMP) intake /front/ left-bank 1--timing over advaced/ system malfunction ====causes ---valve timing--engine mechanical fault--CMP actuator--Wiring
you say you replaced the sensor but that was not the indicated fault
It is the actuator , the part that advances / retards the valve timing for that cam shaft according to engine rpm

2007 Saturn Aura XR 3.6 code p00116. new timing chains and all parts...128,000 miles any ideas besides the crankshaft reluctor.. Car runs great idols smooth

you got a bit carried away with the code
code p 0016 refers to crank shaft position/cam shaft position sensor, bank 1 sensor A---correlation === causes --wiring---CKP sensor --CMP sensor ---mechanical fault
code p 0011 refers to cam shaft (CMP) intake /left /front bank 1 --timing over advanced / system performance==== causes ---valve timing---engine mechanical fault --- CMP actuator ---wiring
you didn't mention the fault so consider this
if the timing is out on the intake cam shaft , it will idle good but play up as the timing actuator moves it further advanced with rpm
if the actuator is not wire properly or the solenoid is faulty , then the inlet will lag with increased rpm and again cause you problems
It is doubtful if the position sensors for either the crank or cam shafts are a problem because it starts and idles good

P0017 and p0014 cobalt 2009

So, I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the codes are as follows.

P0017-Crankshaft Position - Camshaft Position Correlation Bank 1 Sensor 'B'
Possible causes
- Mechanical timing fault
- Blocked oil passage
- Low oil level
- Faulty Exhaust ('B') Camshaft Position (CMP) Sensor
- Faulty Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor

P0014-Camshaft Position 'B' Timing Over-Advanced or System PerformancePossible causes
- Dirty Oil
- Low engine oil level
- Faulty Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid harness is open or shorted
- Exhaust Camshaft Position Actuator Solenoid circuit poor electrical connection
- Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM)
Bank 1

So in short, you can try the oil change if its been a while, always a good practice, however the fact that its throwing both of these codes together, makes me heavily suspect that your car is experiencing the worst of the possible causes, all your symptoms are tell-tale signs of your cars timing being off, meaning a timing belt job is needed. I highly recommend trying your best not to drive that vehicle, if the timing belt grenades on you while your driving, it will cause catastrophic damage to your motor. I cannot stress to you enough to limit your driving. Timing belt jobs as a general rule of thumb, are anywhere from $700-$1000 depending on the shop, anything more and they are ripping you off. I hope this helps, Good Luck!

Code p000b

code p 000B refers to camshaft position (CMP) actuator , exhaust/right rear bank 1---slow response===causes --wiring---CMP actuator--- ECM
The actuator is what allows hydraulic pressure through to the sprocket assembly to change the valve timing, in this case to the exhaust cam shaft on the right rear bank 1
If you do not have expertise in this repair , I would suggest that you find an accredited service shop with experience in your make of vehicle

Code p0014 exhaust and code p0015 exhaust

The code P0014 is for Camshaft Positon Sensor Actuator Bank 1. The possible causes are incorrect camshaft timing, wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve solenoid system; continuous oil flows to VCT piston chamber or failed timing valve control solenoid(stuck open).
The code P0015 is for Camshaft Position -Timing Over-******** (Bank 1). Your problem will probably be that the timing will be slightly out, due to wear (stretch) of the timing chain; this will all be linked to the overall cold start issue and the timing position. Get that timing checked, or push for the full fix for the cold start timing issue.

code p0012 refers to the camshaft position (CMP) intake left front bank 1-timting over retarded/ system performance---causes---valve timing, engine mechanical fault CMP actuator wiring. To have the valve timing out it has to be the cmp actuator as the valve timing will not alter unless there is a failure in the variable actuator on the end of the cam shaft.
