Key terms: Oxygen sensor: measures oxygen in the exhaust gas · Mass air flow sensor: measures the air going into the engine · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

This code is in the powertrain range that covers fuel and air metering, over-temperature, overspeed and transmission over-temperature conditions.

2Common causes

  1. Dirty or faulty mass air flow sensor
  2. Vacuum or intake air leak
  3. Weak fuel pump or clogged fuel filter
  4. Faulty fuel injector
  5. Faulty oxygen sensor
  6. Wiring or connector fault
