P0299 Powertrain The turbo or supercharger isn't building the boost pressure the engine computer is asking for. Moderate P0606 Powertrain The engine computer failed its own internal self-test – check its power and grounds before… Moderate P0700 Powertrain The transmission computer found a fault and asked for the check engine light – read the TCM… Moderate P2002 Powertrain The ECU thinks the diesel particulate filter isn't trapping soot properly — or it can't measure… Moderate U0073 Network A module saw so many errors on CAN bus A that it shut off its own transmitter. High U0100 Network Another module stopped hearing from the engine computer on the CAN network. High

P0001 Powertrain The PCM can't drive the solenoid that meters fuel into the high-pressure pump. Often a no-start… High P0087 Powertrain Measured fuel pressure has dropped well below what the engine computer is asking for. High P0200 Powertrain The ECU found a fault in the injector control circuits that it can't pin on one cylinder, often… High P0216 Powertrain The ECU can't control or confirm injection timing, usually on a diesel with an electronic… High P0217 Powertrain The engine overheated. Stop driving: continuing can warp the head, blow the head gasket… Critical P0218 Powertrain The transmission fluid got hotter than the computer allows, from heavy load, low fluid… High P0234 Powertrain Boost rose above the safe limit the engine computer allows, so it may cut power to protect… High P0641 Powertrain The PCM's shared 5-volt supply 'A' is missing or out of range – often one shorted sensor… High P0642 Powertrain The PCM's 5-volt supply 'A' is being pulled below spec, usually by a short to ground in one… High P0730 Powertrain The transmission computer sees input and output shaft speeds that don't fit the gear it… High P0751 Powertrain Solenoid A is wired fine but its valve isn't doing its job, so gears are missing – often stuck… High P0756 Powertrain Solenoid B isn't moving fluid the way the TCM expects – the car may pull away in 3rd or 4th. High P07A3 Ford · Powertrain The PowerShift's odd-gear clutch isn't letting go when the TCM commands it open, so the car… High P0868 Powertrain Measured transmission line pressure is below what the TCM commanded – clutches can slip… High P0894 Powertrain The transmission computer measured slip inside the gearbox that shouldn't be there. Clutches… High P0A0F Powertrain The hybrid system spun the gas engine with its motor-generator to start it, but the engine… High P0A93 Powertrain The inverter's separate coolant loop isn't carrying heat away – usually a dead electric… High P0A94 Powertrain A hybrid voltage converter isn't delivering the voltage it should – on Toyotas, the boost… High P0AA6 Powertrain High voltage is leaking toward the car body somewhere – an insulation fault that must be found… High P0AFA Powertrain Total high-voltage battery voltage dropped below the minimum the system allows, so power… High P1285 Ford · Powertrain Ford's cylinder head temperature sensor reports the engine is overheating. Pull over and shut… Critical P1295 Hyundai · Powertrain Hyundai's engine computer no longer trusts the electronic throttle and has cut power as… High P1299 Ford · Powertrain The engine got so hot that the Ford PCM is shutting off fuel to cylinders to save it. Stop… Critical P1326 Hyundai · Powertrain Hyundai's KSDS software heard vibration typical of worn rod bearings and put the engine in limp… Critical P1326 Kia · Powertrain Kia's engine computer detected early rod-bearing wear through the knock sensor and capped… Critical P1682 Chevrolet · Powertrain The engine computer's two ignition power feeds disagree, which can cause stalling or Reduced… High P1735 Volkswagen · Powertrain The DSG control unit lost a valid signal from the sensor that tracks clutch 1 and locks out… High P175D Volkswagen · Powertrain The DSG computer saw clutch 1 let go while it was supposed to stay engaged, so it cut… High P1778 Nissan · Powertrain The Jatco CVT's step motor is being commanded, but the pulley ratio isn't following it as it… High P17F0 Nissan · Powertrain The TCM detected judder it blames on the CVT itself, usually belt or pulley slip inside… High
