Safety Warning
DIY auto repair can cause serious injury, fire, or vehicle damage. These guides are for informational purposes only. Always follow OEM torque specs, wear PPE, and consult a certified mechanic if you are unsure. You are solely responsible for your safety.
Notes On Intermittents
If intermittent Code F13 is being set, wiggle related wiring while observing BCM data parameter P.2.5. If failure appears, reading will jump from its normal value to reading outside the range of -29°F to 205°F (-34°C to 96°C). If value displayed by data parameter P.2.5 is not reasonably close to actual air temperature at sensor, check for poor terminal contact or replace sensor. To obtain accurate reading of in-car temperature, aspirator must draw in-car air past sensor.
