Loss of power: Codes, Causes & Fixes

P0174 Powertrain The cylinder bank without cylinder 1 is running lean even with the maximum fuel correction… Moderate P0300 Powertrain The engine computer sees misfires that jump between cylinders or hit several cylinders at once. High P0420 Powertrain The bank 1 catalytic converter no longer stores enough oxygen to clean the exhaust properly. Low P0430 Powertrain The bank 2 converter on a V6, V8 or split-exhaust engine isn't cleaning the exhaust well enough. Low P0101 Powertrain The MAF sensor's airflow reading doesn't match what the engine computer expects… Low P0171 Powertrain The engine computer is adding the maximum extra fuel it's allowed on bank 1 and still sees… Moderate

P0001 Powertrain The PCM can't drive the solenoid that meters fuel into the high-pressure pump. Often a no-start… High P0008 Powertrain Camshaft timing on bank 1 has drifted from the crankshaft. Often a stretched timing chain. Moderate P0012 Powertrain The bank 1 intake cam lags behind the angle the PCM wants, often from chain stretch or weak oil… Moderate P0014 Powertrain The bank 1 exhaust cam won't follow its target and stays too far advanced; think oil, valve… Moderate P0015 Powertrain The bank 1 exhaust cam sits later than commanded; a stretched chain or stuck exhaust phaser… Moderate P0016 Powertrain The bank 1 intake cam and the crankshaft are out of step, most often from a stretched or jumped… High P0018 Powertrain The bank 2 intake cam is out of step with the crankshaft on a V or boxer engine; chain wear… High P0019 Powertrain The bank 2 exhaust cam signal doesn't match the crankshaft; chain, bank 2 exhaust phaser… Moderate P0022 Powertrain The bank 2 intake cam can't advance as far as the PCM asks; phaser, oil pressure or a worn bank… Moderate P0045 Powertrain The engine computer sees an open or shorted circuit to the solenoid that controls turbo boost. Moderate P0046 Powertrain The boost control solenoid circuit is intact, but boost doesn't follow what the solenoid… Moderate P0087 Powertrain Measured fuel pressure has dropped well below what the engine computer is asking for. High P0089 Powertrain The fuel pressure regulator is getting its commands but pressure isn't responding the way it… Moderate P0090 Powertrain The engine computer sees an electrical fault in the wiring or coil of the fuel pressure control… Moderate P0093 Powertrain Rail pressure is dropping faster than injection explains: fuel may be escaping. Stop and check… Critical P0102 Powertrain The MAF signal is too weak for the PCM to accept, so it treats the circuit as dead… Moderate P0107 Powertrain The MAP signal has fallen to almost zero volts, usually from a lost 5-volt reference or an open… Moderate P0121 Powertrain The throttle position reading is electrically valid but doesn't agree with engine load, airflow… Moderate P0122 Powertrain The throttle position signal fell to nearly 0 volts, lower than a closed throttle could ever… Moderate P0152 Powertrain Bank 2's front O2 sensor is pinned high – usually voltage leaking in from its heater wire… Moderate P0171 Powertrain The engine computer is adding the maximum extra fuel it's allowed on bank 1 and still sees… Moderate P0174 Powertrain The cylinder bank without cylinder 1 is running lean even with the maximum fuel correction… Moderate P0190 Powertrain The signal from the fuel rail pressure sensor has dropped out or become unusable to the engine… Moderate P0191 Powertrain The rail pressure reading is electrically valid but doesn't make sense for how the engine… Moderate P0193 Powertrain The rail pressure sensor signal is stuck near the 5-volt limit, above anything a working sensor… Moderate P0201 Powertrain The ECU sees an open or faulty electrical circuit to injector 1, so cylinder 1 is probably… Moderate P0202 Powertrain Injector 2's circuit is open or out of range; on an inline-four it's a middle cylinder under… Moderate P0203 Powertrain The ECU sees no normal electrical response from injector 3: its coil, its wiring or its driver… Moderate P0204 Powertrain The circuit to injector 4 is open or out of range; on most transverse engines that's… Moderate P0205 Powertrain The ECU sees a broken or faulty electrical circuit to the cylinder 5 injector, so that cylinder… Moderate
