Maintenance Tips, Tricks And Hacks For Your Vehicle
The P0140 code is an OBD-II trouble code for “02 Sensor Circuit No Activity Detected (Bank 1, Sensor 2)” and indicates a fault in the operation of the oxygen sensor located in the exhaust system of a vehicle. In this article, I will be talking about the P0140 trouble code, its symptoms, causes, and how…
The P0138 is an OBD-II trouble code that stands for “02 Sensor Circuit High Voltage (Bank 1, Sensor 2)” and is triggered when your vehicle’s primary computer, also known as the powertrain control module (PCM), detects that the voltage signal from the rear O2 sensor is too high for a given period. In this article,…
The P0507 is an OBD-II trouble code that stands for Air Control System RPM Higher Than Expected which refers to an idle control system fault. The engine control module (ECM) sets the P0507 trouble code when it sees that the idle RPMs have been higher than the limit for a certain amount of time. In…
The P0305 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that stands for “Cylinder 5 Misfire Detected” which means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has seen cylinder 5 misfire enough times to store the misfire code for that cylinder. In this article, I will be talking about the P0305 trouble code, its symptoms, causes, and how…
The P0455 OBD-II trouble code stands for Evaporative Emission System Leak Detected (large leak) which means that the Evaporative Emission Control (EVAP) system is leaking and can’t keep pressure. This code can happen for many reasons and is often associated with the P0440 trouble code. In this article, I will be talking about the P0455…
The P0327 code is an OBD-II trouble code that stands for Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Low Bank 1 or Single Sensor and is triggered when the knock sensor becomes faulty. The knock sensor circuit is an electronic device that monitors vibrations in the engine and is used to detect engine knock or detonation. In this…
The P0131 trouble code stands for 02 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage Bank 1 Sensor 1 and it is triggered when the vehicle’s computer detects a low-voltage signal from the front oxygen sensor, which detects the amount of oxygen in the raw exhaust gas. In this article, I will be talking about the P0131 trouble code,…
The P0107 is an OBD-II trouble code that stands for Manifold Absolute Pressure/Barometric Pressure Circuit Low and is triggered when the vehicle’s computer (ECM) detects no output from the MAP sensor. This code can happen for a variety of reasons, and you need to diagnose the specific cause for this code to be triggered in…
The P0118 OBD-II trouble code means that there is a problem with the Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) circuit and the sensor that goes with it. The ECT is a thermistor or an electrical resistor whose resistance is drastically decreased by heat. The ECT is placed in the coolant passage in the cylinder head of your…
The P0443 code stands for Evaporative Emissions System Purge Control Valve Circuit and is triggered when the car’s computer (PCM) has found a problem with the purge control valve or the purge valve circuit. In this article, I will explain everything you need to know about the P0443 code. What Does The P0443 Code Mean?…
