Possible causes – Low engine coolant level– Leaking or stuck open thermostat– Faulty Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor– Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor harness is open or shorted– Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor electrical circuit poor connection When is the obd code mean? The voltage sent to Powertrain Control Module (PCM) from the Engine Coolant…

Possible causes – Low oil level or motor mechanical fault– Faulty oil pressure sensor– Oil Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted– Oil Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection When is the obd code mean? The P0521 is detected when the signal sent from oil pressure sensor to PCM goes out of range. Symptoms –…

Possible causes – Low oil level or motor mechanical fault– Faulty Oil Pressure sensor– Oil Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted– Oil Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection When is the obd code mean? The P0522 is set when the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) senses a signal voltage higher than the normal operating range…

Possible causes – Low oil level or motor mechanical fault– Faulty Oil Pressure sensor– Oil Pressure Sensor harness is open or shorted– Oil Pressure Sensor circuit poor electrical connection When is the obd code mean?

Possible causes – Intake air leaks– Faulty front heated oxygen sensor– Ignition misfiring– Faulty fuel injectors– Exhaust gas leaks– Incorrect fuel pressure– Lack of fuel– Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor– Incorrect Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) hose connection Tech description If the P0171 is combined with the P0174 code, it’s very likely that the problem…

Possible causes – Leaking fuel pressure regulator– Leaking fuel injector When is the obd code mean? The average long term fuel trim values at idle are less than -30 percent for 10 seconds Symptoms – Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light) P2188 PONTIAC OBD Code Description The engine control module (ECM) controls…

Possible causes – Leaking or stuck open thermostat– Low engine coolant level– Insufficient warm up time– Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor– Engine coolant temperature sensor harness is open or shorted– Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit poor electrical connection Tech description If cooling system is not leaking and the fluid level is OK, replacing the thermostat…

Possible causes – Low battery charge– Battery defective– Loose or missing alternator drive belt– Faulty alternator– Open or short system voltage circuit Tech description Start by recharging or replacing the battery. When is the obd code mean? The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) has detected that the electrical system voltage level is too low. Symptoms –…

Possible causes – Faulty Vehicle Speed Sensor– Vehicle Speed Sensor harness is open or shorted– Vehicle Speed Sensor circuit poor electrical connection When is the obd code mean? If the fault detection circuit senses a voltage other than what is expected, the fault line status changes causing the P0608 to set. Symptoms – Engine Light…

Possible causes – Faulty Vehicle Speed Sensor– Vehicle speed sensor harness or connectors is open or shorted– Vehicle speed sensor circuit poor electrical connection– Faulty Powertrain Control Module (PCM) When is the obd code mean? If the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects a low vehicle speed when there is a high engine speed in a…
