SERVICE INFORMATION

If you are diagnosing an SPI vehicle for a driveability complaint and there is a Code 13 in the ECU memory, do not replace the crank angle sensor just yet.

It is normal for Code 13 to be found in the ECU memory if the vehicle's engine has stalled for any reason.

We suggest that you clear the ECU memory and road test the vehicle. If Code 13 has come back, and the vehicle did not stall during the road test, then there may be something wrong and a thorough check of the crank angle sensor system may be performed at this time.
