Hello i get this code P013A does anyone know what it is and what i need to buy to fix this ?

A P0713 is a transmission temp sensor error. Couldn't find P0713a though

I Gave up wrong code first it is P013A and i think its an o2 sensor can anyone tell how to fix this is?Is it possible to clean the sensor or do i have to replace it? Can someone tell me what sensor it is?

Is there anyone with the same problem or have some ideas??

Here you go. Direct from the service manual for a 2008 so it should be the same. My guess is you have an exhaust leak (like I had) or a bad O2 sensor.


P013A-O2 SENSOR 1/2 SLOW RESPONSE - RICH TO LEAN







For a complete wiring diagram Refer to Section 8W.

Theory of Operation


The downstream O2 Sensor is located in the exhaust path behind the catalytic converter, is monitored for proper response to assure optimum catalytic converter efficiency. The downstream O2 response monitor is intended to diagnose a downstream O2 sensor that is not moving or stuck in a voltage window and to insure accurate information for catalyst monitor diagnosis.

When Monitored:
With the engine running, vehicle speed above 96 kph (60 mph), throttle open for a minimum of 120 seconds, ECT greater than 70° C (158° F), catalytic converter temperature greater than 600° C (1112° F), and downstream oxygen sensor in a rich state. During a decel fuel shutoff event, the downstream oxygen sensor should switch from rich to lean within a specific time.

Set Condition:
The PCM monitors the downstream O2 sensor. If the PCM does not detect a rich to lean switch within a specific time during a decel fuel shutoff event, the monitor will fail. One trip fault. Three good trips to turn off the MIL.


Possible Causes

EXHAUST LEAK

(K141) O2 1/2 SIGNAL CIRCUIT

(K904) O2 RETURN DOWNSTREAM CIRCUIT

1/2 O2 SENSOR



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Always perform the Pre-Diagnostic Troubleshooting procedure before proceeding. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).




Diagnostic Test
1. ACTIVE DTC
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOTE: Check for contaminants that may have damaged the O2 Sensor: contaminated fuel, unapproved silicone, oil and coolant.

NOTE: After the repairs have been made, verify proper O2 Sensor operation. If all the O2 Sensor voltage readings have not returned to normal, follow the diagnostic procedure for the remaining O2 Sensors.


Start the engine.
Allow the engine to reach normal operating temperature.

WARNING: When the engine is operating, do not stand in direct line with the fan. Do not put your hands near the pulleys, belts, or fan. Do not wear loose clothing. Failure to follow these instructions can result in personal injury or death.


With a scan tool, select View DTCs.

NOTE: It may be necessary to drive the vehicle to meet the conditions to set this DTC, try to repeat the conditions in which the fault originally set by reviewing the Freeze Frame data.



Is the DTC Active or Pending at this time?

Yes

Go To 2


No

Refer to the INTERMITTENT CONDITION Diagnostic Procedure. (Refer to 9 - ENGINE - DIAGNOSIS AND TESTING).

2. CHECKING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM FOR LEAKS
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn the ignition off.
Raise the vehicle in accordance with the Service Information.

WARNING: The normal operating temperature of the exhaust system is very high. Never work around or attempt to service any part of the exhaust system until it has cooled. Special care should be taken when working near the catalytic converter. The temperature of the converter rises to a high level after a short period of engine operating time


Connect Exhaust Cone #8404-EC or #8404-EC to Air Pressure Regulator (with hose) #W-18-MIL-1146AS.

CAUTION: The air pressure must not exceed 27.6 kPa (4 psi), otherwise engine damage can occur.


Attach shop air to the air pressure regulator.
Adjust the Air Pressure Regulator to 27.6 kPa (4 psi)
Insert the exhaust cone into the vehicle tail pipe.
If the vehicle is equipped with dual exhaust. Use the #8404-ECT with equipped attached plug, plug one side of the dual exhaust pipe. Pressurize the other as described above.
Apply MoparŪ Air Leak Detector PN# 05191804AA (or an equivalent leak finder liquid) to the following areas:
- All welded joints from the exhaust manifold to 152.4 mm (6 inches) behind the downstream O2 sensor
- O2 sensor seal points
- O2 sensor boss welds
- Flange/joint connection(s)
- Exhaust manifold to cylinder head connection(s)
- EGR solenoid gasket base and tube seal points (if equipped)
Watch for the liquid/soapy water to bubble.
Use the following definitions to help determine if system or component repair/replacement is necessary:
Type 1 Leak is defined as a leak where very small foam like bubbles 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or less appear.
Any Type 1 or greater leaks found in welded joints, O2 sensor seal points or O2 sensor boss welds must be repaired or the component must be replaced.
Type 2 Leak is defined as a leak where larger bubbles pea size, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater appear.
Any Type 2 or greater leaks found in flange or joint connections, exhaust manifold to cylinder head connections, or EGR gasket and tube seal points must be repaired or the components must be replaced

Leak Location
Repair required if results at 27.6 kPa (4 psi) reveal bubble size:

Welded joints
Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater

O2 Sensor seal points
Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater

O2 Sensor boss welds
Type 1, 1 mm (0.04 of an inch) or greater

Flange / joint connections
Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater

Exhaust Manifold to cylinder head connections
Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater

EGR gasket and tube seal points
Type 2, 8 mm (0.3 of an inch) or greater



If a leak is found that matches the above definition, repair or replace the component as necessary.
Once the repair is complete, repeat the procedure to verify that all leaks have been repaired.

Beat me to it. :)
DO you have any exhaust mods?

No its completely stock!!

Where should i buy the O2 sensor if that is damaged? Any good on Bosh?

Is the O2 sensor same in 5.7 and 6.1?? anyone??

how do i find out what O2 sensor is damaged ?? There are 4 i believe.

P013A-O2 SENSOR 1/2 SLOW RESPONSE - RICH TO LEAN

The 1/2 indicates bank 1, 2nd sensor, so drivers side and the one after the catalytic converter.

Thanks for that im gonna replace it today is there any chance to clean these sensor or do i have to buy new one?P013A-O2 SENSOR 1/2 SLOW RESPONSE - RICH TO LEAN

you can try cleaning it, won't hurt anything to try that first

Mine just came on too and has the same error code. I have a Borla exhaust on mine though, with CMR tune with pred. Should I take it to the muff shop 1st and see if they find any leaks or should I take it to the dealer?

I did change this one

P013A-O2 SENSOR 1/2 SLOW RESPONSE - RICH TO LEAN

And the light never came back problem fixed!!

Well I had that code...I scheduled an appt with the dealer, then before bringing it in I set my PCM back to stock with predator. Then check engine light went away. They couldnt bring up and trouble codes so I went home. On the way home it came on again, I checked the code again and its different: P2096 Post catalyst fuel trim system too lean bank 1. What does this mean???
