Engine codes

CodeDescription
P0171 – P0172Too poor or too rich mixture in the engine.
P0173The on-board computer recorded a gasoline leak from the fuel system.
Р0174 – Р0175One of these combinations of numbers indicates the wrong level of the mixture in the engine (too poor or rich).
Р0215Reported failure of the solenoid off the motor. With such an error, it may be difficult to start the engine. Also, the motor can troit when it is turned off. Replace the component.
Р0216Interrupted or short-circuited in the circuit control the injection time. Need to more carefully check the chain.
Р0217BK informs the car owner about overheating of the engine. First, check the quality of the coolant. In Ford cars Focus and Mondeo this error is one of the common. As a rule, it occurs due to the loss of antifreeze of its performance characteristics.
Р0218BK has registered excessive temperature in the transmission system. Possible overheating. In this case, the operation of the transmission may be incorrect.
Р0219Excessively high engine speeds are reported.
Р0243 – Р0246One of these combinations indicates the incorrect operation of the first solenoid (A) of the exhaust gas shutter. The device can always be open or closed. It may also indicate a wrong signal.
Р0247 – Р0250These figures as a result of the diagnostics report that the BC has registered the incorrect operation of the second solenoid (B) of the exhaust gas shutter. Replace the component.
Р0251 – Р0255Reported incorrect operation of the injection pump of the first turbine. You need to more carefully check the circuit for openings and closures or replace the pump.
Р0256 – Р0260One of these combinations of numbers indicates an incorrect signal from the second turbine injection pump. Also, these errors can be said about the failure of the element, resulting in the need to replace it.
Р0261 – Р0296These codes report malfunctions in one of the twelve nozzle cylinders. It may be:·   closing the flail of one of the nozzles to the ground;·   open circuit;·   injector driver malfunction.In such cases, it is recommended to check the circuit more closely for open or short circuits. If this does not help and everything is in order with the chain, then the failed injectors must be replaced.
Р0300BC recorded single or regular misfire.
Р0301 – Р0312These combinations of figures indicate a misfire in one of the twelve cylinders.
  Р0410An incorrect secondary air supply system is reported. The system should be checked for leaks.
Р0410 – Р0417The appearance of these codes on the laptop screen during car diagnostics indicates:·   failure of one of the two secondary air supply valves;·   detecting errors in the secondary air supply system;·   wrong mix flow through the system.A more thorough check of the system should be made, as well as the failed valve should be replaced.
