Parked on driveway over the weekend and then the CEL went off; car runs fine.
A search online for P13B6 yield many results:
- ...bad sensor,
- bad connections or
- low quality low octane gasoline ...

WHOA...can we just ignore #3 without any disqualification as a possible cause?
The "crowd" needs to know yea or nay in regards to fuel octane in the tank.
Before replacing anything...I'd recommend waiting to see if the fault comes back. What if it was an anomaly?
Unless the CEL (light) is flashing...it isn't a serious DO NOT DRIVE IT edict...its just an emissions sensor registering/storing a fault code.
{take note of the 3rd & 4th bullet below since you're OBD II (not OBD I)}
