Some 2013\-2019 Explorer vehicles equipped with a 3.5L twin independent variable camshaft timing \(Ti\-VCT\) engine may exhibit an illuminated malfunction indicator lamp \(MIL\) with diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) P013A and/or P013C stored in the powertrain control module \(PCM\). This may be due to an improperly welded exhaust Y\-pipe. To correct the condition, follow the Service Procedure to replace the exhaust Y\-pipe. Follow the Service Procedure to correct the condition on vehicles that meet all of the following criteria: \*2013\-2019 Explorer \*3.5L Ti\-VCT engine \*Illuminated MIL with only DTCs P013A and/or P013C

The Powertrain Control/Emissions Diagnosis \(PC/ED\) manual has been revised for diagnosing electronic throttle bodies \(ETBs\). The ETC\_ACT and ETC\_DSD PIDs should not used to diagnose possible ETB concerns. The IDS has a limited refresh rate when reading these PIDs and cannot display quickly enough to validate a concern. The PCM automatically monitors these inputs more accurately and will set diagnostic trouble codes \(DTCs\) when appropriate. Using these PIDs for diagnostics will lead to inaccurate results and improper ETB replacements. If a concern is intermittent and no DTCs are present, refer to historical DTCs and the PC/ED, Section 3 No DTCs Present Index chart for further information.
