P013A - O2 Sensor Slow Response - Rich To Lean (Bank 1, Sensor 2)

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 28 other vehicles, including the 2014 Lincoln Navigator, 2014 Lincoln MKZ, 2014 Lincoln MKX, 2014 Lincoln MKT, and 2014 Lincoln MKS. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P013A - O2 SENSOR SLOW RESPONSE - RICH TO LEAN (BANK 1, SENSOR 2)

Description:  The heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) monitor tracks the rate of voltage change during the rise and fall of the heated oxygen sensor bank 1, sensor 2 (HO2S12) signal. The measured rate of the rich to lean switch is compared to a calibrated fault threshold value. The threshold value takes into account the level of oxygen in the catalyst, which has an impact on how quickly the rich to lean switch occurs. This DTC sets when the measured value is slower than the threshold value.
Possible Causes: 
  • Exhaust leaks before or near the HO2S12
  • Damaged HO2S12
Diagnostic Aids:  Check for leaks in the exhaust system.
