Código de avería P0063: This code is a generic powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may be slightly different depending on the model. Heated Oxygen sensors (HO2S) are inputs used by the PCM (Powertrain Control Module) to determine oxygen content in the exhaust system. Bank 2, sensor 3 refers to the third sensor back on Bank 2. The PCM uses the information gained from the Bank 2, 3 HO2S mainly to monitor the efficiency of the catalytic converter. Integral to this sensor is a heater element The PCM controls this heater to warm up the sensor to operating temperature. This allows the engine to enter closed loop faster and reduces emissions on cold startup. The PCM continuously monitors the heater circuits for abnormal voltages or in some cases, even amperages. Depending on the make of vehicle, the Oxygen sensor heater is controlled one of two ways. One way is that the PCM directly controls the voltage feed to the heater either directly or via a HO2S relay and a ground is supplied from the vehicle’s common ground. The other way would be a fused 12 volt Battery feed (B+) that feeds 12 volts to the heater element anytime the ignition is on and the control of the heater is done by a driver in the PCM which controls the ground side of the heater circuit. Finding out which one you have is important because the PCM activates the heater under various circumstances. If the PCM detects an abnormally low voltage condition on the heater circuit, P0063 may set. Bank 2 is the side of the engine that does not contain cylinder #1.

Código de avería P0062: This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic OBD-II powertrain code. It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles (1996-newer), although specific repair steps may vary depending on the make and model. Owners of these these brands may include but are not limited to VW, Dodge, Saab, Pontiac, Ford, GM, etc. Fuel injected vehicles use heated oxygen sensors in the exhaust system before and after the catalytic converters to determine oxygen content. This feedback is used to adjust the fuel system accordingly to maintain a proper air/fuel ratio of 14.7:1. The oxygen sensors used a heated circuit to warm up the sensor for faster feedback operation. The oxygen sensor may use three or four wires depending on the vehicle, two are usually used for the sensor feedback to the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) / Engine Control Module (ECM) and the other wires are for the heater to power the heated circuit. Three wire sensors are usually grounded through the exhaust system, and four wire sensors have a separate ground wire. The P0062 code refers to third downstream sensor in the exhaust on Bank 2, which is on the side of the engine that does NOT contain the #1 cylinder. The heater circuit may be supplied power or ground by the PCM/ECM or another source that can be controlled by the PCM/ECM. Note: Be careful not to work around an exhaust system that has been ran recently as they can become very hot. This code is similar to P0030 and basically identical to P0036.

Código de avería P0061: This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to all 1996-newer vehicles (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Mazda, Pontiac, Isuzu, etc.). Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. In my personal experience, a stored code P0061 means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a malfunction in the heater circuit of the downstream (or pre catalytic converter) oxygen (O2) sensor for engine bank one. Bank 2 specifies that the malfunction concerns the bank of the engine that does not contain the number one cylinder. Sensor 3 indicates that the problem is associated with the downstream sensor. A zirconium dioxide sensing element, protected by a vented steel housing, lies at the heart of your typical O2 sensor. The sensing element is connected to wire leads in the O2 sensor wiring harness with platinum electrodes. Data from the O2 sensor is transmitted to the PCM via the controller area network (CAN). The data consists of information regarding the percentage of oxygen particles in the engine exhaust as compared to the oxygen content of ambient air. The data is used by the PCM to calculate fuel delivery and ignition timing. Battery voltage is used by the PCM as a means to preheat the O2 sensor during cold start conditions. The O2 sensor signal circuits are complemented by a circuit dedicated to preheating the sensor. The heater circuit usually consists of a battery voltage wire (12.6-volts minimum) and a system ground wire. The PCM takes measures to apply battery voltage to the O2 sensor heater during low engine coolant temperature conditions. This usually occurs until the PCM enters closed loop operation. Voltage is routed through the PCM, sometimes with the help of a relay and/or fuses. The circuit is energized when the ignition switch is turned on during cold start conditions. The PCM is programmed to de-energize the O2 heater circuit once the engine reaches normal operating temperature. When the PCM detects a level of resistance, from the O2 sensor heater circuit, that is greater than programmed limitations; a code P0061 will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may be illuminated. Certain vehicles could require multiple ignition cycles (with a failure) for the MIL to be illuminated. If this applies to your vehicle, you will need to use the OBD-II readiness mode in order to make sure that your repairs are successful. Once repairs are performed, drive the vehicle until the PCM either enters readiness mode or the code is reset.

Código de avería P0060: This diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is a generic powertrain code, which means that it applies to all 1996-newer vehicles (Chevrolet, Ford, GMC, Mazda, Pontiac, Isuzu, etc.). Although generic, the specific repair steps may vary depending on make/model. If your OBD-II equipped vehicle has stored a code P0060, it means that the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected a malfunction in the heater circuit of the downstream (or pre catalytic converter) oxygen (O2) sensor for engine bank one. Bank 2 indicates the malfunction involves the bank of the engine that doesn’t contains cylinder #1. Sensor 2 means that the problem is related to the downstream sensor. A zirconium dioxide sensing element protected by a vented steel housing makes up the business end of your O2 sensor. Platinum electrodes are used to connect the sensing element to wire leads in the O2 sensor wiring harness. The controller area network (CAN) allows the PCM to receive data from the O2 sensor. Data regarding the percentage of oxygen particles in the engine exhaust, as compared to the oxygen content of ambient air, is provided to the PCM by the O2 sensor. The PCM uses this data to calculate fuel delivery and ignition timing. The heated O2 sensor uses battery voltage as a means to preheat during cold start conditions. In the heated O2 sensor, O2 sensor signal circuits are accompanied by a circuit dedicated to heating the sensor. The heater circuit usually carries battery voltage (12.6-volts minimum) and may be equipped with an in-line fuse. During low engine coolant temperature conditions, the PCM takes measures so that battery voltage is applied to the O2 sensor heater. This should occur until the engine reaches normal operating temperature and the PCM enters closed loop operation. Voltage is usually routed through the PCM, sometimes with help from a relay and/or fuses, and is initiated when the ignition switch is turned on during cold start conditions. The PCM is programmed to discontinue battery voltage to the O2 heater circuit once the engine reaches normal operating temperature, and it should take measures to do so. Should the PCM detect a level of resistance from the O2 sensor heater circuit that is greater than programmed limitations allow, a code P0060 will be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) may be illuminated. Certain models will require multiple ignition cycles (with a failure) for the MIL to be illuminated. Because of this, you will need to use the OBD-II readiness mode in order to make sure that your repairs are successful. Once you have performed repairs, drive the vehicle until the PCM enters readiness mode or the code is reset.

Código de avería P005F: This is a generic powertrain diagnostic trouble code (DTC) and typically applies to OBD-II vehicles. That may include but is not limited to vehicles from Chevy (Chevrolet), GMC (Duramax), Dodge, Ram (Cummins), Isuzu, Ford, Vauxhall, VW, etc. Although generic, the exact repair steps may vary depending on year, make, model and powertrain configuration. Turbochargers, superchargers, and any other forced induction (FI) systems for that matter, use energy generated from the engine (i.e.: exhaust pulses, belt-driven screw-type, etc.) to increase the amount of air that can be introduced to the combustion chamber (increased volumetric efficiency). Given the fact that, in forced induction systems, intake pressures need to vary and need to be adjusted according to the operator’s many power needs. Manufacturers use a form of boost control valve (AKA, Waste-gate, boost control solenoid, etc.), which is monitored and controlled by the ECM (Engine Control Module), to make sure the air/fuel mixture is stoichiometric (ideal). It does this, by mechanically adjusting the "vanes" in the charger. These vanes are responsible for adjusting the amount of boost (intake pressure) to the chamber. As you can imagine, a problem within the boost controlling component, may cause drivability issues. The problem is, when the ECM loses control of the boost, typically, your vehicle goes into "limp" mode to avoid engine damage (via over/under-boost conditions causing a potentially damaging rich and/or lean A/F mixture). As far as the letter "B" goes here, it could be to distinguish a connector, wire, circuit group, etc. That said, the manufacturer’s specifications is the best resource you could have for this. The ECM illuminates the check engine light (CEL) with P005F and related codes when it detects a fault within the boost control system. The P005F DTC is activated when the ECM (Engine Control Module) detects a higher than expected electrical value within the "B" boost control supply voltage circuit.

The camshaft is responsible for the valves’ positions. It uses a shaft with lobes integrated in the design to a specific measurement (depending on engine manufacturer and model) to, when mechanically timed properly, precisely open and close valves at the optimal amount/speed. The crankshaft and camshaft are connected mechanically using different styles (e.g. belt, chain). In the code description, they mention the camshaft "profile". What they are referring to here, is the shape or the roundness of the lobe. Some systems use these adjustable lobes, I am going to call it, to precisely integrate a more efficient "lobe design" at given times. These are beneficial because, at different engine speeds and loads, having a different camshaft profile can increase volumetric efficiency among other benefits depending on operator demands. It is important to note, most times it is not another physical lobe rather, manufacturers mimic a "new lobe" by using varying strategies (i.e. switchable/adjustable rocker arm components). The letter "2" in the description is extremely valuable in this case. Not only could the camshaft be on either side, but there may be 2 shafts on each cylinder head. So it’s important to clarify which camshaft you are working with before proceeding. As far as banks go, bank 1 will be the one with cylinder #1. Most times, B refers to the exhaust camshaft and A refers to the intake camshaft. This all depends on which particular engine you are working with as there are countless different designs that will alter these diagnosis procedures depending which one you own. Refer to she manufacturer’s service manual for the specifics. The ECM (Engine Control Module) illuminates the CEL (Check Engine Light) with P005D and related codes when it detects a malfunction within the camshaft profile control circuit. P005D is set when there is a stuck on condition within the bank 2 circuit.
