OBD Diagnostic Codes

Most vehicles generate computer codes used for diagnosing simple and complex problems. These codes help service mechanics more efficiently locate and repair vehicle problems.

What does error code s0600 mean?

It has nothing to do with your account balance. My account is paid and I'm missing a few channels only. TimeWarner has no answers other than it is unavailable. (duh, I can SEE that)

If some channels are coming in and some missing, there is probably noise or leakage somewhere in your home or coming off of main line. This could be coming from a number of things such as crimp on fittings, bad wiring, bad fittings, old tv's or vcr's that have feedback, bad splitters...etc, could even be coming off of neighbors home if they are connected to same tap. Also could be bad drop to house causing intermittent problems...

Where can one find what repairs need to be done for diagnostic codes that came up on your 1997 Ford Thunder-bird LX of P0172 P175 and P1443 at for free?

The codes are: P0172 System too rich Bank 1 P0175 System too rich Bank 2 P1443 Small or no Purge Flow Condition

The first thing to do is to check the fuel pressure. If it is too high, it will cause the engine to run rich. You may have a bad fuel pressure regulator.

The Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) could be causing the problem as well. There is a procedure for testing the TPS, but it is rather lengthy. If you go to the Public Library, you can get the MOTORS Manual for your vehicle in the reference section. That will have the test procedure.

Another possibility is a bad Coolant Temperature Sensor (CTS). This is a common problem.

You, also, can not discount the possibility of a bad PCM as well. Just don't throw parts at the problem. You would be better off paying a pro.

Also check the mass air flow sensor. If it gets dirty a false reading to the PCM could richen the injectors. Did you check you air filter??

Where is the OBD port on a 2002 Saturn?

The diagnostic connector is under the dash on the driver side.

What is obd port?

Obd-on board diagnostic. The port is the plug the scan tool or code reader connects to.

What does the error code P1401 mean on a 1998 Ford Ranger?

The P stands for the Powertrain. The 1 stands for Manufacturer specific. The 4 stands for Auxillary Emmission Control System. The final 0 & 1 ( as 01) identifies the section of the system that is malfuntioning.

What could cause a 2001 Ford Focus to start but idles rough changed coil pack codes say number 1 and 4 cylinder misfires HELP?

First thing, check your vacuum hoses. Second, unhook your battery for about an hour, then hook it back up. The computer may need to reset itself. After that, you're on your own.

  • The most common vacuum hose issue with a focus is the PCV hose wher it goes to the back of the intake manifold. You should check that, but ususlly if you have a vacuum hose problem, it won't show up as a P0301 and a p0304 fail code, like you have. It will ususlly be a p0171 which is a lean code.

Since your fail codes are 301 and 304, you should actually check to see if you have ignition fire to the #1 and #4 cylinders. Evidentally you already checked that and didn't have fire, otherwise, I wouldn't think you would have replaced the coil pack, without doing that simple test. But in case you didn't, then you need to. If you have no fire to those two cyliders, and you are sure your plug wires are good, then likely there is something wrong in the PIP signal to the coil pack from the PCM. On the coil pack, there is a connector into the side with three wires. One is a shared PIP(pulsed ground signal) to the towers for cyls #1 and #4, one is a PIP to #2 and #3, and the third wire is a common power input. PIP is a pulsed ground from the PCM. The PCM pulses the ground "on" everytime it wants to fire either the #1/#4 cylinders, or the #2/#3 cylinders. So the #1 and the #4 plugs both fire at the same time, and so do the #2 and #3 plugs. The cylinder that isn't on it's compression stroke just receives a harmless "waste" spark.

If you DO have spark to these plugs, then you could have bad plugs. But if you DO NOT have bad plugs, then your problem IS NOT ignition. If your problem is not ignition, then you could have fuel injector issues or engine compression issues.

One thing is certain. When you find and fix the problem, you will know it. The engine will straighten up and run fine. No "resetting" of the PCM is necessary, other than to turn off the check engine light. "Reseting" the PCM does not fix problems. That is a common misconception.

You have what is referred to as a "misfire" evidentally on the numbers 1 and 4 cylinders. Four things cause a misfire: ignition failure(spark), fuel failure(lack of fuel), engine compression failure to those cylinders, or coolant getting into those two cyliders which is causing the fuel to not combust.

RECAP: Start with spark which is coil, plugs, or plug wires. If you don't have spark, find out why. Is it plugs, lug wires, or do you have no PIP signal on that circuit to those two coil towers.

Second, if spark is not your problem, then check engine compression. Get an engine compression guage and test all four cyliders. All will be around 150 PSI if they are good. Any cylinders that are under 100 PSI are a problem.

Third, make sure all four fuel injectors are firing.

Do those three thiings, and I'll bet somewhere along the line, you will find your problem.

What does error code ckp cmp correlation mean?

Significa qu el sensor no está emitiendo la posisión del cigueñal, es decir no produce la onda cuadrangular, en sintesis el CKP está defectuoso y no le está trasmitiendo señal al PCM.

Help with my 97 Saturn SL2. SES light comes on at speeds of 50 or higher. I've replaced both O2 sensors. The code reads 20 which is something to do with emissions. Any suggestions?

I'm not understanding the code of 20, your 1997 Saturn has an OBDII computer. you need a code reader to get engine codes. you cannot pull codes manually by shorting terminals A-B anymore. every one of your engine codes is atleast 3 digits, and should start with P. for example: a faulty oxygen sensor with no responce will show a code of P0134, or a EGR with insufficient flow will show a code of P0401.

Answer

My code book shows that an OBDII code of P0020 is a camsharft position actuator circuit bank 2. you have a sensor problem or your cam chain has stretched beyond the tensioner's ability to remove slack. I was getting camshaft position errors and had to replace the cam chain and tensioner.
