P0101 Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Circuit Range/Performance Problem Fault: What is it?
Powertrain control modules (PCM/ECMs) use data from multiple vehicle components in order to determine the amount of fuel to be supplied to the engine. This information is collected by a variety of sensors to create conditions for optimal engine performance. ...
P0452 Low Voltage Signal from the Evaporative Emission (EVAP) System Pressure Sensor Fault: What is it?
P0452 is a fault code for an emission system. The Powertrain Control Module will set a P0452 error code if the EVAP System Pressure Sensor (also known by the name fuel tank pressure sensors) detects a change in pressure below ...
P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Malfunction Fault: What is it?
Diagnostic fault code P0500 indicates that the speed sensor is faulty. When the ECU detects a malfunction in the speed sensor, the P0500 diagnostic fault code is generated. The P0500 code will be displayed on the instrument panel along with ...
P0332 Knock Sensor 2 Circuit Low Input (Bank 2) Fault: What is it?
The PCM sets the code P0332 and illuminates the fault light when it receives from the knock sensor circuit a voltage lower than that specified by the manufacturer. The knock sensor is designed to alert the PCM to vibrations or ...
P0155 Oxygen Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 2, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
The heated oxygen sensor is more likely to be installed in a modern car than the standard oxygen sensor. The sensor can reach its operating temperature faster because of the heating element. The PCM will store the P0155 code in ...
P0134 Oxygen Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1, Sensor 1) Fault: What is it?
The description of fault code P0134 reads ‘Oxygen Sensor Circuit Activity not Detected’ (Bank 1, Sensor 1). This code is generated when the powertrain control module of your vehicle (PCM), located before the catalytic convert, fails to receive the signal ...
P0106 Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor Performance Problem Fault: What is it?
If your OBD-II scanner identifies a P0106 code after checking, it could be faulty. The P0106 error code is described as ‘Manifold Absolute Pressure Sensor (MAP), Barometric Pressure Sensor (BARO), Circuit Interval/Performance Issue’. This code is generated when the Powertrain ...
P0305 Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected Fault: What is it?
The vehicle computer (PCM/ECM/ECU), detects that there are multiple misfires occurring in cylinder number 5. “Misfiring” is the result of incorrect ignition of air-fuel mixtures in one or more cylinders. Proper combustion of air-fuel mixtures provides power to crankshaft, and ...
P0457 Leak in the Evaporative Emission Control System (EVAP) Fault: What is it?
The warning “Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected” is displayed with the fault code P0457. The powertrain control module will set fault code P0457 if it detects a significant EVAP leak. The leak is often caused by a missing or loose ...
