BMW 2A82 Code — VANOS Intake Solenoid Malfunction
So far we’ve covered a number of common diagnostic trouble codes that are universal for almost all vehicles out there. However, in addition to your usual P and U codes, there are also proprietary codes that are unique for whatever brand of car you’re driving. Today we’ll take a close look at one such code […]
P0484 Code — Cooling Fan Circuit Over Current
Modern vehicles are packed with sensors to a point where every significant component has one. All of these sensors send data to the ECU (Engine Control Unit), which then uses that data to adjust performance. When something goes wrong with your car, these sensors will notify the ECU which will often trigger a check engine […]
P0102 Code — Mass Air Flow Circuit Low Input
A trouble code is true to its namesake. To many people, it means that you’re in for a hefty bill or that you will have to find an alternative means of transport. But once you scratch the surface, you’ll realize that’s not always the case with check engine light codes. Sometimes you can solve your […]
P0218 Code – Transmission Over Temperature Condition
Just like the engine, the transmission needs cooling to work properly. If your transmission overheats, it could suffer all kinds of damage. Fortunately, there’s a way to stay ahead of this issue. If your transmission registers a temperature that is out of spec, you’ll get a check engine light code on your dash with the […]
P0706 — Transmission Range Sensor Circuit Range & Performance
Dealing with transmission issues is never fun, especially considering how complicated modern automatic transmissions are. That being said, most cars made in the last few decades feature a bunch of sensors that will help you figure out what’s wrong with them. A malfunction in the transmission often triggers the check engine light code, which in […]
P0720 Code – Output Speed Sensor Circuit Malfunction
The speed sensor on your car is an essential piece of a much larger system. By measuring the speed of your transmission, you can tell how fast you’re going at any moment. More importantly, other systems in your vehicle can use the readings from your speed sensor to figure out how the car should behave […]
P0740 Code — Torque Converter Clutch Circuit Malfunction
While engine trouble codes are somewhat well understood these days, automatic transmission codes are still confusing many out there. One of the reasons for this is the lack of uniformity between different transmission systems, which often makes troubleshooting them somewhat tricky. Today we’ll talk about the P0740 transmission code. This is a check engine light […]
Mercedes G-Wagon – From Utility to Luxury
A definition of class, the modern Mercedes G-Wagon represents absolute luxury and status. It’s a statement, a sign that you’ve made it, and you want the world to know it. So many are wondering what’s so appealing in a boxy SUV that hasn’t significantly changed in appearance since the ‘80s? Well, to understand the G-wagon […]
P0780 Error Code — Shift Malfunction
Modern automatic transmissions are anything but simple. The everlasting race for ultimate efficiency has forced car manufacturers to pack transmission systems full of all kinds of sensors and electronics. As a result, modern automatic transmissions can experience a whole range of issues, each of them with its own corresponding check engine light code. In this […]
Knock Sensors Explained – Your Engine’s Stethoscope
To say that modern engines are complex pieces of engineering would be an understatement. Almost every mechanical component is governed by a sensor of some sort, which is why modern engines are so efficient. Among them is the knock sensor — a crucial acoustic device without which your engine’s lifespan wouldn’t be anywhere near as […]
