While While it’s often assumed that the check engine light (CEL) is an indication of a major mechanical issue, this isn’t always the case. In fact, according to many professional mechanics, a warning light can be caused by a minor...
P2165 P2165 code definition The code P2165 means that there is a malfunction with the “C” pedal position sensor circuit. What the P2165 code means The vehicle’s PCM (powertrain control module) monitors the throttle pedal position sensors. If it stores...
P2214 P2214 code definition The P2214 code occurs when the powertrain control module has detected that the nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide gases (NOx) sensor circuit voltage reading is not in the anticipated levels for the engine bank (in this...
P0999 P0999 code definition The P0999 code identifies a problem in an automatic transmission in the shift solenoid F circuitry and sets the code. What the P0999 code means A P0999 code the OBD-II generic code for a problem between...
P2046 P2046 code definition The P2046 code (http://bestride.com/engine-trouble-codes/p2046) (http://bestride.com/engine-trouble-codes/p2046) indicates that there has been a malfunction in the reductant injector air temperature sensor circuit. What the P2046 code means The reductant injector is part of the system that reduces the...
A few different components could be causing your issue. Your symptoms sound at first like a spark issue. If a plug was tightened down too hard, the gap can become smaller than intended. This would decrease the power of the...
You will need to have the number one cylinder injector tested to see if it is getting signal from computer and cylinder compression to see if it has an internal engine problem. Then if these are okay then will need...
You are correct that when the Check Engine light is illuminated with no drive symptoms you will not have any indicator if any more problems are happening. That is, unless another light comes on or you get symptoms you did...
The check engine light comes on and stays on if the onboard computer sees a problem that could cause an increase in emissions or a problem with its systems. After looking at most of the possible codes or issues that...
The engine coolant temperature sensor should be located on the radiator hose fitting on the front of the engine. The connector is locked in place by a clip lock on the connector housing that needs to be depressed at the...
Code P0068 can have to do with the Throttle Position Sensor (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/throttle-position-sensor-replacement). It can also be due to a Mass Air Flow sensor fault (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/mass-airflow-sensor-replacement). Usually this code can be set due to a vacuum leak, either somewhere in the...
The meaning of the "Service Engine Soon" Light is dependent on the make and model of your car and the manufacturer’s specifications. There are numerous dashboard indicator lights, and the particular indicator lights that are included on a dashboard are...
Hi, the Check Engine Light turns on when the car's computer detects a fault somewhere. While you are driving the car, the computer is constantly checking all of the signals coming from the sensors throughout the vehicle. The computer knows...
Hi. This is a very common failure on vehicles like yours. So common, in fact, that there is a technical service bulletin (TSB) on it. The TSB is XT303-13 and it addressed the hissing sound from under the hood, as...
Hello. Thanks for your question about your Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminating for what appears to be a transmission issue. There are both electronic and hydraulic controls in your transmission that control shifting. The electronic controls use sensor inputs and...
The 335 and 340 codes are for crankshaft and camshaft circuits. This could be bad sensors, or it could be an issue in the wiring to the sensors. The 421 is for a catalyst performance. It can come up because...
P2096 will set if the air fuel ratio in the engine is off. In your circumstance, the short and long term fuel trim values should be read and evaluated using a real time scan tool as that will help narrow...
Hey there. This may be related to to a variety of things. When your Check Engine Light comes on, generally there are fault codes that are registered in the car's computer which will indicate more specifically some of the possible...
The white smoke is a sign that coolant or water is leaking into the cylinders. The radiator and overflow container are examined and checked for the right amount of fluids. The engine oil is checked next to make sure it...
A flashing check engine light means that there is a problem that may damage the car if you continue to drive. Most often it comes on when there is a misfire, and the potential damage is damage to the catalytic...
The fuel injectors on this engine can intermittent stick causing a misfire. The fix is to replace the injector for the cylinder having the problem. This is from a carbon build up in the injector pintle. I would recommend having...
You need to have the fuel pressure regulator and injectors checked for leaking. The fuel pressure regulator (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-fuel-pressure-regulator) is most likely leaking into the intake and causing the excessive fuel to get into the cylinders. I'd suggest getting the vehicle...
Hi there. I would suspect another pulley that the serpentine belt drives has a dry/loose bearing. Have a certified mechanic, like ones from YourMechanic, inspect the noise (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/loud-squealing-or-squeaking-is-coming-from-timing-belt-inspection) and check each pulley for play.
Hello. If this only occurs when the engine is cold then you may have a sensor reading incorrectly or you may have a vacuum leak. Most of the time if the Check Engine Light (https://www.yourmechanic.com/services/check-engine-light-is-on-inspection) is on I start by...
All three problems may be related. You will have to get the computer scanned (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/what-is-the-on-board-diagnostics-obd-system) to see if you have a bad speed sensor. The speed sensor will sense the speed in which you are going; the computer will use...
