P0501 is an OBD2 trouble code that indicates there is an issue with your car or truck’s Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS). It occurs when your vehicle’s Powertrain Control Module (PCM) gets a signal from the VSS outside its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). While P0501 is a generic …

P0008 is a somewhat uncommon OBD2 trouble code. It indicates that the crankshaft and camshaft are not synchronized properly, and should be considered a breakdown risk. Driving without addressing P0008 can lead to engine damage and a costly repair. While P0008 is a generic code (the same definition for every …

P0725 is a common OBD2 code. It indicates an issue with the engine speed sensor input circuit (which measures the engine speed at the input shaft and helps the PCM determine when and how hard to shift the transmission). While it is a generic code (it has the same meaning …

P0193 is a common OBD-II code.  It indicates that a vehicle’s fuel rail pressure sensor is sending a signal to the PCM that is above its normal operating range (in terms of voltage value). While P0193 is a generic code (it has the same meaning for any vehicle made for …

P0705 is a very common transmission-related trouble code. In layman’s terms, it means that the vehicle’s computer can’t tell what gear you’ve selected, which can have some real consequences on how it drives. While P0705 is a generic code (it has the same definition for any vehicle made from 1996+), …

P2271 is a generic DTC trouble code.  It indicates that the oxygen sensor located on bank 1 in the second position is continuously sending voltage that indicates a rich air/fuel mixture. There are oxygen sensors on both sides of the catalytic converter.  This lets the vehicle read the exhaust before …

P0116 is a somewhat common OBD2 trouble code. It indicates that your vehicle’s engine coolant temperature sensor is sending a signal to the PCM (powertrain control module) that is outside of its normal operating range (in terms of voltage). While P0116 is generic (it has the same definition for any …

P0107 is a relatively common OBD2 trouble code. In plain English, it means that the signal coming from the MAP sensor is below the normal operating range. The two most common causes of P0107 are wiring issues, or the MAP sensor has gone bad. While P0107 is a generic code …
