ISSUE
Some 2009 Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid vehicles may exhibit a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) with diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) P013A and/or P0400. Vehicles built on or before 6/24/2009 with DTC P013A may be caused by an exhaust leak at the manifold catalyst flange.
Some 2010 Escape Hybrid and Mariner Hybrid vehicles may exhibit any of the following DTCs; P013A , P0030, and P0130 and/or P0400. An improved calibration is available for these vehicles.
ACTION
Follow the Service Procedure steps to correct the condition.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Vehicles with a DTC P013A built on or before 6/24/2009 follow Procedure A and B. Vehicles built on or after 6/25/2009 perform Procedure B.
Procedure A
1. Restrict exhaust flow at the tailpipe and inspect for carbon soot/moisture witness marks indicating a leak at the manifold catalyst flange. Misting a soapy water spray solution on the flange while the exhaust is restricted will increase the ability to identify and confirm leaks.
2. Is a leak present?
a. No - Skip to Procedure B.
b. Yes - Proceed to Step 3.
3. Disconnect the intermediate exhaust pipe from the manifold catalyst. Refer to Workshop Manual (WSM), Section 309-00.
4. Inspect the flange for evidence of weld or other material that is raised on the sealing surface and may prevent complete sealing at the joint. If this condition is found, replace the manifold catalyst assembly and both heated oxygen sensors (H025). Refer to WSM 309-00.
5. Proceed to Procedure B.
Procedure B
Reprogram the powertrain control module (PCM) to the latest calibration using IDS release 68.07 and higher or 69.01 and higher. This new calibration is not included in the VCM 2010.9 DVD. Calibration files may also be obtained at the website.
