Caution · drive with care

Do not assume this code is safe to ignore: some codes in this range affect engine safety systems. Have it diagnosed; if the engine is overheating, a red warning light is on, or the engine loses power or cuts out, stop safely and get professional help.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
