SOURCE: 2001 volvo s40 trouble code P0015

This is a common issue particularly with vehicles that have had some neglect to the oil change routine. The VVT solenoid on the top of the valve cover gets clogged with thickened or sludged oil.

Replace the VVT solenoid and gasket with a new unit and clear the codes.

P0301 is a fairly common trouble code with the Suzuki XL-7. It's an OBD2 code and indicates that your vehicle's first cylinder is misfiring.
P0015 OBD-II Trouble Code: Camshaft Position B - Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 1) P0123 occurs when the voltage from your XL-7's TPS is higher than the upper operational range. Po1693 This code presents itself when extra, or unknown codes have been identified within one or multiple control modules within the vehicle.

This vehicle has issues a Mechanic is going to have to look at.

What does a u3fff code on a Chrysler 300

no year care told the manuals are by year and country.
fails USA smog or Canada, can we know this?
no to smog stations are the same USA FED or CALIF are different as is all other countries.
2005 to present made,
no VIN or engine told. and smog is big time on ENGINE types.

U3fff is using a useless scanner for this car.
use only 2008 and newer scan tools
the tool (no toy code readers
Your vehicle uses a CAN bus network for communications and any scan tool used to do what you are trying needs to be CAN capable.

U3fff (the fff means bad data read) F is hex code 1111b
IT MEANS CAN BUS FAILED.
top cause is tool can not do modern Chrysler DTC codes.
FFF = 1111-1111-1111b
U3 means factory only code.
solutions all
DIY buy a real real scan tool 2008 or newer.
get it scanned in a real shop
barrow the tool ,buy one or rent one.
some shops do it for free ASK EM/
some store do it for free but 1/2 the time fail or reasons stated above. wrong tool used.
scan tool can_bus certified + Chrysler too.

Code p0014 exhaust and code p0015 exhaust

The code P0014 is for Camshaft Positon Sensor Actuator Bank 1. The possible causes are incorrect camshaft timing, wiring problems (harness/wiring) in intake timing control valve solenoid system; continuous oil flows to VCT piston chamber or failed timing valve control solenoid(stuck open).
The code P0015 is for Camshaft Position -Timing Over-******** (Bank 1). Your problem will probably be that the timing will be slightly out, due to wear (stretch) of the timing chain; this will all be linked to the overall cold start issue and the timing position. Get that timing checked, or push for the full fix for the cold start timing issue.

My 2001 vw jetta wont pass smog, failed on emissions part..check engine light is on for multiple things do I need to fix all to get car to pass smog? Fuel injectors and O2 sensor.

ALWAYS PERFORM TESTS AND REPAIRS ON THE FIRST DTC AND RETEST AFTER EACH STEP.ONE SENSOR OR COMPONENT FAILURE CAN CAUSE OTHERS TO FAIL AS A RESULT.MEANING THE FIRST CODE COULD HAVE CAUSED THE OTHER CODES TO CYCLE.SO ALWAYS DIAG THE FIRST CODE STORED AND EACH ONE AFTER AS THEY WERE READ DURING THE SCAN

I have 2003 volvo s40, its check engine is on and i used OBD and gave me this code: P0015, anybody knows what it means and how to figure it out?

P0015-camshaft position actuator B-Bank 1 timing over - ******.

1.9 ltr right? Engine prone to sludge. Try and engine flush like seafoam (don't drive with it in your engine.... run it for a few minutes then shut it down) then change your oil and filter to a good quality synthetic. Then clear the code. Won't hurt it if you drive it with this code but can be annoying.
