holy diagnostic codes, Batman

Post by coffeeguzzler »

My check engine light went on, so I checked my codes, and I came up with the following:
a2: 433
a3: 444 213 214 444
a7: 122 112 132
b1: 211 235
b2: 122
What do codes 122 and 112 for A7 mean?
What do the codes for b1 mean?
Thanks,
coffee

Let me help u out:

A2: 433 Rear Knock Sensor signal

A3: 444 No Power supply to valves in hydraulic unit
213 Left Rear Wheel Sensor, no signal on moving off
214 Right Rear Wheel Sensor, no signal on moving off

A7: 112 Fuel Gauge short circuit
122 Temp Sensor interval too long
132 No RPM sensor signal

B1: 211 Driver side damper motor position sensor open circuit or short to 12V
235 Recirculation damper motor position sensor open circuit or short to 12V

B2: 122 Speed has not exceeded 22mph or no speed signal

Here is my advice, clear all the codes and see if any return. The ABS (A3)codes probably aren't serious, the 444 is mostly likely a fluke and the other two occur when the back wheels don't move when the fronts do...

Clear A2 and hope it doesn't come back.

The A7 codes refer to the trip computer or the clock/temp unit. If the unit is working fine, just clear the codes.

B1 as you mentioned is the climate control system, i'm sorry i can't offer any advice here, because my system is manual.

B2, the 122 code will always occur, it doesn't indicate a problem.
