P0010 Intake Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit / Open (Bank 1) The ECU commands the variable valve timing solenoid on the intake cam but sees no electrical response — open circuit, short, or a dead solenoid. On most engines this freezes cam timing at the default position. Gravedad media P0011 Intake Camshaft Position Timing — Over-Advanced (Bank 1) The actual intake cam angle is more advanced than the commanded target for a set time. Usually a sticking actuator, oil pressure problem, or a stretched timing chain rather than an electrical fault. Gravedad media P0016 Crankshaft / Camshaft Position Correlation (Bank 1 Sensor A) The relative position between crank and cam is outside the learned window. This is a mechanical timing problem until proven otherwise — stretched chain, jumped tooth, or a badly worn tensioner. Gravedad alta P0030 HO2S Heater Control Circuit (Bank 1 Sensor 1) The upstream oxygen sensor's internal heater is not drawing the expected current. The sensor then warms slowly, so fuel control stays open-loop longer and emissions and consumption rise. Gravedad media P0101 Mass Air Flow Circuit Range / Performance The MAF reading does not match what the ECU expects for the given RPM, throttle and load. Either the sensor is dirty/out of range, or air is entering the engine without being measured. Gravedad media P0102 Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input The MAF signal stays below the plausible minimum. The ECU falls back to a speed-density calculation, which keeps the car drivable but with compromised mixture control. Gravedad media P0115 Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit Malfunction The ECT signal is out of range or implausible. The ECU then cannot judge warm-up state, so fuelling, fan control and transmission behaviour all go wrong. Gravedad media P0125 Insufficient Coolant Temperature for Closed Loop Fuel Control The engine has been running long enough that it should be in closed-loop fuel control, but the ECU never sees the coolant reach the expected temperature. Almost always a thermostat that is stuck open. Gravedad baja P0131 O2 Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Bank 1 Sensor 1) The upstream oxygen sensor output stays near zero volts — the ECU reads permanent lean. Left alone this drives fuel trims rich and can destroy the catalyst. Gravedad media P0133 O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1 Sensor 1) The sensor still switches, but too slowly to control mixture properly. A classic ageing symptom — the sensor is tired, not dead. Gravedad baja P0135 O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1) The heater inside the upstream sensor is not working, so the sensor takes far too long to reach operating temperature and closed-loop control is delayed. Gravedad baja P0172 System Too Rich (Bank 1) Fuel trims have gone strongly negative — the ECU is pulling fuel to compensate for too much of it. The engine is running rich, not lean. Gravedad media P0174 System Too Lean (Bank 2) Bank 2 fuel trims are strongly positive — the ECU is adding fuel because the mixture is too lean on that side of the engine. Gravedad media P0201 Injector Circuit Malfunction — Cylinder 1 The ECU detects an electrical problem on the cylinder 1 injector driver circuit: open, short, or a coil that is out of specification. Gravedad alta P0217 Engine Overheat Condition Coolant temperature exceeded the protective threshold. The ECU often cuts fuel or disables cylinders to protect the engine — take this seriously. Gravedad alta P0234 Turbocharger / Supercharger Overboost Condition Actual boost pressure exceeds the commanded target. Common on electronically controlled wastegates and variable-geometry turbos with sticking mechanisms. Gravedad alta P0301 Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected Cylinder 1 is not contributing power consistently. Unlike a random misfire, this is isolated to one cylinder — so swap-testing parts will find it fast. Gravedad alta P0302 Cylinder 2 Misfire Detected Cylinder 2 is misfiring. The diagnostic logic is identical to P0301 — the cylinder number simply tells you where to start looking. Gravedad alta P0303 Cylinder 3 Misfire Detected Cylinder 3 misfire. Same diagnostic approach as other cylinder-specific misfire codes: confirm the cylinder, then swap-test to move the fault. Gravedad alta P0304 Cylinder 4 Misfire Detected Cylinder 4 misfire. Swap-test ignition and fuel components first; compression last. This is the most reliable way to avoid replacing good parts. Gravedad alta P0315 Crankshaft Position System Variation Not Learned The ECU has lost its learned crankshaft position variation values, which it uses to detect misfire accurately. Common after an ECU replacement, a flywheel change or a software update. Gravedad baja P0325 Knock Sensor 1 Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1) The knock sensor signal is missing or out of range, so the ECU cannot detect detonation and will typically retard ignition timing as a protective default. Gravedad media P0335 Crankshaft Position Sensor A Circuit Malfunction No usable crank signal. Without it the ECU cannot time injection or ignition, so the engine will usually crank without starting. Gravedad alta P0340 Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction No usable cam signal. Most engines will still start using the crank signal alone, but with sequential injection and VVT disabled. Gravedad media P0351 Ignition Coil A Primary / Secondary Circuit Malfunction The ECU monitors the coil primary circuit for cylinder 1 and sees a fault — open, short, or a coil that does not draw the expected current. Gravedad alta P0380 Glow Plug / Heater Circuit A Malfunction A diesel cold-start aid circuit is open or drawing wrong current. Cold starts become hard and smoky, especially in winter. Gravedad media P0402 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Excessive Detected Too much exhaust gas is entering the intake. The EGR valve is stuck open or the flow signal is over-reading, starving the mixture of oxygen. Gravedad media P0403 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Control Circuit Malfunction An electrical fault in the EGR solenoid or motor circuit — no control, so the ECU cannot modulate EGR at all. Gravedad media P0405 Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit Low The EGR position sensor voltage is below its plausible minimum — a short to earth, an open reference, or a dead sensor. Gravedad media P0430 Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold (Bank 2) The bank 2 catalytic converter is no longer storing enough oxygen to smooth the exhaust — the downstream sensor is switching too much like the upstream one. Gravedad media P0440 Evaporative Emission Control System Malfunction The EVAP system failed its overall integrity check. Fuel vapour is escaping somewhere between the tank and the charcoal canister. Gravedad baja P0441 Evaporative Emission Control System Incorrect Purge Flow The ECU commanded the purge valve open but the expected change in fuel trims or tank pressure did not occur — a flow problem rather than a leak. Gravedad baja P0442 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Small Leak) A small leak — typically equivalent to a 0.5–1 mm hole. Harder to find than a gross leak, and the smoke machine is the only realistic tool. Gravedad baja P0455 Evaporative Emission Control System Leak Detected (Gross Leak) A large leak — the system cannot hold any pressure at all. Usually an obvious physical fault: missing cap, split hose, or a disconnected line. Gravedad baja P0500 Vehicle Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction No vehicle speed signal reaching the ECU or instrument cluster. Transmission shifting, speedometer and stability systems all depend on this input. Gravedad media P0507 Idle Control System RPM Higher Than Expected The engine idles above the target speed and the ECU cannot bring it down. Either extra air is getting in, or the throttle is not closing as commanded. Gravedad media P0524 Engine Oil Pressure Too Low The oil pressure switch or sensor indicates pressure below the safe threshold. This is a stop-the-engine code — running further can destroy bearings. Gravedad alta P0563 System Voltage High The ECU sees charging voltage above roughly 16 V. Overcharging boils the battery and can damage sensitive electronics across the vehicle. Gravedad alta P0606 ECM / PCM Processor Fault The engine control module's internal self-check has failed. Before replacing an ECU, exhaust every external cause — most of these turn out to be power or earth problems. Gravedad alta P0620 Generator Control Circuit Malfunction The ECU commands the alternator but does not see the expected response — typical on smart-charging systems where the regulator is ECU-controlled. Gravedad media P0700 Transmission Control System Malfunction A generic flag telling you the transmission ECU has stored a fault. Read the TCU's own codes to find the real problem. Gravedad media P0705 Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Malfunction (PRNDL Input) The ECU cannot determine which gear the selector is in, or sees an implausible combination. The vehicle may refuse to start or start in any position. Gravedad alta P0730 Incorrect Gear Ratio The ECU compares input and output shaft speeds and finds a ratio that does not match the commanded gear — the transmission is slipping. Gravedad alta P0741 Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Performance / Stuck Off The torque converter lock-up clutch is not applying when commanded. The engine revs higher than it should at steady cruise and fuel economy suffers. Gravedad media

20 códigosAirbags, módulo de carrocería, climatización, iluminación y sistemas de acceso.
B0001 Driver Frontal Stage 1 Deployment Control A fault in the driver's frontal airbag first-stage deployment loop. This is a safety system — the airbag will not fire correctly until it is repaired. Gravedad alta B0010 Passenger Frontal Stage 1 Deployment Control Fault in the passenger frontal airbag deployment loop. Same safety-critical handling as B0001, on the passenger side. Gravedad alta B0020 Left Side Airbag Deployment Control Fault in the left-side airbag or curtain deployment loop. Usually the connector under the seat or in the door pillar. Gravedad alta B0050 Passenger Airbag Disable Indicator Circuit The lamp or circuit that shows passenger airbag status has failed. The airbag itself may still be functional, but the driver cannot confirm its state. Gravedad media B0080 Passenger Presence / Occupant Classification System The system that decides whether an adult is sitting in the passenger seat has failed. The airbag is typically suppressed as a precaution. Gravedad media B0090 Restraint System Crash Sensor Fault One of the impact sensors feeding the airbag ECU is out of range or not communicating. Deployment logic becomes unreliable. Gravedad alta B0100 Airbag Disable Switch Circuit Fault in the manual passenger airbag on/off switch circuit (where fitted). The system cannot confirm the requested suppression state. Gravedad media B0110 Seat Belt Pretensioner Circuit Fault A fault in the pyrotechnic or electric seat belt pretensioner circuit. The belt will not tighten correctly in a crash. Gravedad alta B0159 Outside Air Temperature Sensor Circuit The ambient temperature sensor is open, shorted or reading implausibly. Automatic climate control and some driver displays depend on it. Gravedad baja B0160 Cabin Temperature Sensor Circuit The in-car temperature sensor used by automatic climate control is out of range, so the system cannot regulate cabin temperature accurately. Gravedad baja B0170 Evaporator Temperature Sensor Circuit The evaporator temperature sensor reading is implausible. The A/C compressor then cannot be modulated correctly, risking evaporator icing. Gravedad baja B1000 Body Control Module Internal Fault A generic body-module self-check failure. Manufacturer-specific above the SAE range — read the module's own extended data before acting. Gravedad media B1200 Climate Control Module Serial Data / Panel Fault The climate control panel has lost communication or failed internally. Often a power or data-line issue rather than a dead panel. Gravedad baja B1318 System Voltage Low (Body Module) The body module has seen supply voltage below its operating threshold. Always find the cause — a weak battery sets this long before it fails to start. Gravedad media B1325 System Voltage Out of Range The body module has seen voltage either too low or too high. Check the charging system in both directions before replacing anything. Gravedad media B1342 ECU Internal Fault / Memory Error (Body Module) The body module flagged an internal memory or processor error. Like all internal-fault codes, external power problems come first on the list. Gravedad media B1350 Airbag Deployment Loop / Squib Circuit Resistance Out of Range Resistance in a restraint deployment loop is outside specification. Even a small extra resistance can prevent deployment. Gravedad alta B1500 Seat Belt Switch / Buckle Circuit Fault The buckle switch that tells the vehicle whether the belt is fastened is not reporting correctly, affecting warnings and restraint strategy. Gravedad media B1600 Immobilizer / Key Transponder Communication Fault The immobilizer cannot read a valid key transponder, so the engine is prevented from starting. A no-start code, not a running fault. Gravedad alta B2200 Anti-Theft / Key Data Mismatch Stored key data does not match what the immobilizer or body module expects — typical after a module swap or an interrupted programming session.

20 códigosABS, ESP, dirección, suspensión y freno por cable.
C0035 Left Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit No usable signal from the left front wheel speed sensor. ABS and stability control are disabled as soon as one wheel is unknown. Gravedad alta C0040 Right Front Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Right front wheel speed signal lost or implausible. ABS, traction and stability functions are disabled. Gravedad alta C0050 Left Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Left rear wheel speed signal lost. On rear sensors, also check for hub bearing wear changing the air gap. Gravedad alta C0060 Rear Axle Steering / Differential Control Circuit Fault in an electronically controlled rear steering or locking differential actuator. Handling aids are disabled, base driving remains. Gravedad media C0110 ABS Pump Motor Circuit Malfunction The ABS hydraulic pump motor does not run or draws wrong current. The system cannot build pressure for ABS or stability intervention. Gravedad alta C0121 Brake Fluid Pressure / Differential Pressure Switch Fault The pressure differential switch indicates an imbalance between brake circuits — a genuine hydraulic warning, not an electronics nuisance. Gravedad alta C0200 Steering Angle Sensor / Transfer Case Range Fault The steering angle signal is missing, out of range or not learned. Stability control and electric power steering assistance depend on it. Gravedad alta C0210 Yaw Rate / Lateral Acceleration Sensor Fault The sensor that tells the ESP module how the car is actually rotating is not reporting correctly, so stability control is disabled. Gravedad alta C0220 Right Rear Wheel Speed Sensor Circuit Right rear wheel speed signal lost. ABS and stability functions disabled until all four wheels report reliably. Gravedad alta C0230 Brake Booster / Vacuum or Electric Assist Sensor Fault The brake assist system cannot verify booster performance. Pedal effort may increase and braking distances can lengthen. Gravedad alta C0240 Traction Control Engine Torque Request Circuit The traction control module cannot request torque reduction from the engine — a coordination fault rather than a mechanical one. Gravedad media C0265 ABS/ESP Control Module Relay or Power Circuit The ABS module's power supply or internal relay is not behaving. A supply problem masquerading as a module failure in most cases. Gravedad alta C0280 Brake Pedal Position / Travel Sensor Fault The ECU cannot trust the brake pedal input, which affects brake light operation, regenerative blending on hybrids and EVs, and stability logic. Gravedad alta C0300 Steering / Suspension Actuator Circuit Fault Fault in an electronically controlled damping or steering actuator. Ride height or steering assist may be stuck at a default. Gravedad media C0500 Electronic Steering / Suspension Control Module Fault Internal fault in the steering or suspension control module. Verify power, earth and configuration before replacing hardware. Gravedad alta C0550 ECU / Module Not Configured or Configuration Mismatch A chassis module has no valid configuration or the vehicle data does not match. Typical after a used-module swap or an interrupted coding session. Gravedad media C0561 System Disabled / Calibration Data Not Available A chassis function is disabled because required calibration data is missing — common after ADAS or steering work. Gravedad media C1100 Chassis Control Module Power / Internal Fault Generic chassis module fault. As with every internal-fault code, rule out supply, earth and water before replacing anything. Gravedad alta C1200 ABS / Traction Control System Disabled (Torque Request Rejected) The chassis module asked the engine ECU to reduce torque and the request was refused or timed out — usually a network or coding issue between modules. Gravedad media C1230 Stability System Longitudinal Acceleration Sensor Fault The longitudinal acceleration input used by stability and hill-hold functions is missing or implausible. Gravedad media
U0xxx — Red (U)
18 códigosComunicación por bus CAN / LIN / FlexRay entre módulos de control.
U0001 High Speed CAN Communication Bus The high-speed CAN bus is off-line or badly degraded. Multiple modules lose contact at once — which is the clue that tells you it is the bus, not a module. Gravedad alta U0002 High Speed CAN Communication Bus Performance The bus still works but with errors, retries or degraded signal quality. Far more common than a total bus failure and much harder to spot. Gravedad media U0010 Medium Speed CAN Communication Bus The medium-speed CAN bus (typically body/comfort functions) is down. Drivability usually survives, but body functions drop out. Gravedad media U0020 Low Speed CAN / LIN Bus Communication Fault on a low-speed or single-wire LIN bus. These carry simple devices: mirrors, seat modules, rain sensors, alternator control. Gravedad baja U0073 Control Module Communication Bus Off A module has shut down its CAN transmitter, often as self-protection after persistent errors. It may be a symptom rather than the root cause. Gravedad alta U0101 Lost Communication with TCM (Transmission Control Module) The engine ECU cannot talk to the transmission controller. The gearbox usually defaults to limp mode or refuses to engage. Gravedad alta U0110 Lost Communication with Drive Motor / Inverter Control Module On hybrids and EVs, the main ECU has lost contact with the inverter or motor controller. The vehicle will not drive or will not ready-up. Gravedad alta U0121 Lost Communication with ABS / ESP Control Module The ABS module has dropped off the bus. Stability and traction functions are gone, and other modules usually complain too. Gravedad alta U0129 Lost Communication with Brake System Control Module Communication with the brake control module is lost. On vehicles with integrated braking (regenerative or brake-by-wire) the effect is more severe than on conventional systems. Gravedad alta U0131 Lost Communication with Power Steering Control Module The steering control module is not responding. Assist usually drops to a reduced default rather than disappearing entirely. Gravedad alta U0140 Lost Communication with Body Control Module The body module has dropped off the bus, taking lighting, locking, windows and wipers with it in one go. Gravedad media U0155 Lost Communication with Instrument Panel Cluster The cluster is off-line. Besides the obvious display loss, the cluster is often the gateway between buses — its absence can silence other modules. Gravedad media U0164 Lost Communication with HVAC Control Module The climate control module is not responding. Usually a comfort problem rather than a drivability one — except on EVs where it manages battery thermal control. Gravedad baja U0184 Lost Communication with Radio / Infotainment Module The head unit has dropped off the bus. Rarely affects driving, but on fibre-optic (MOST) systems one dead node can silence the whole ring. Gravedad baja U0293 Lost Communication with Hybrid / EV Battery Energy Control Module The battery management controller is not responding. The vehicle will not ready-up, and this is high-voltage territory. Gravedad alta U0401 Invalid Data Received from ECM / PCM A module received data from the engine ECU that it considers invalid — often a software version or coding mismatch rather than a wiring fault. Gravedad media U0415 Invalid Data Received from ABS Control Module Another module received implausible data from the ABS module. Stability, steering and ADAS functions may all be limited as a result. Gravedad alta U0422 Invalid Data Received from Body Control Module A module received implausible body data — typically lighting, door or vehicle-configuration information that does not match.
