Engine Overspeed Condition

41 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The engine has exceeded the maximum speed the computer allows, usually from a missed gear or over-revving.

2Common causes

  1. Missed gear or downshift into too low a gear
  2. Over-revving while stationary or in neutral
  3. Sticking throttle
  4. Faulty crankshaft or camshaft position signal

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

Stop safely and have the car inspected before driving further. Over-revving can bend valves or damage engine internals even when it still seems to run normally, and a sensor fault can make the engine cut out.

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.
