Sensor Reference Voltage A Circuit/Open

42 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Control module: a small computer that runs one part of the car · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

1What it means in plain English

The engine computer or one of its output circuits has a fault.

2Common causes

  1. Engine control module fault
  2. Power or ground connection problem
  3. Low battery or charging voltage
  4. Wiring short or open circuit
  5. Software or memory fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

If the engine runs normally, drive carefully to a workshop for diagnosis. If it runs badly, stalls, or will not restart, have the car towed.

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.
