I found this site which should help you.

Bruce had similar problem and says this:

I know this is late, but I got the same code recently. I have a flaky MAF sensor cable connector that causes my fuel trims to gradually drift out of range - - - until I wiggle the cable connector and it gets better again for awhile. The bad connection is on the cable side of the connector and the connector does not look easily disassembleable. Anyway this code comes up once and awhile when the connection gets flaky.

-Bruce


The other person said use zipties to fix.

Here's the full webpage:

Another site I found is here which will help you if you get other common code on your OBDII .... cheers.. Deneen



OBD-II codes consist of a number of parts. Here is a sample OBD2 code:

P0171
Here is a breakdown of what each digit of the code means:
First Character - SystemThe first character identifies identifies the system related to the trouble code.

  • P = Powertrain
  • B = Body
  • C = Chassis
  • U = Undefined
Second Digit - Code TypeThe second digit identifies whether the code is a generic code (same on all OBD-II equpped vehicles), or a manufacturer specific code.
  • 0 = Generic (this is the digit zero -- not the letter "O")
  • 1 = Enhanced (manufacturer specific)
Third Digit - Sub-SystemThe third digit denotes the type of sub-system that pertains to the code
  • 1 = Emission Management (Fuel or Air)
  • 2 = Injector Circuit (Fuel or Air)
  • 3 = Ignition or Misfire
  • 4 = Emission Control
  • 5 = Vehicle Speed & Idle Control
  • 6 = Computer & Output Circuit
  • 7 = Transmission
  • 8 = Transmission
  • 9 = SAE Reserved
  • 0 = SAE Reserved
Fourth and Fifth DigitsThese digits, along with the others, are variable, and relate to a particular problem. For example,a P0171 code means P0171 - System Too Lean (Bank 1). To lookup your particular code, visit our OBD Trouble Codes section.

I am not too aufait with these types of vehicles, but I can ssure youo that trouble codes can be found online. Go into Google.com and enter GMC trouble codes. I can't from where I am because the sites are currently blocked from viewing.

Despite that, what are the symptoms the vehicle is giving with these trouble codes?

Your car's computer has sensed a problem with your coil pack. the thing is, it could be your coil pack but it could be that something else is effecting the performance of the coil. Example; Plugs, wires, wiring to the coil pack. Look at the cars maintenance history, it might help in leading you to an answer.

Can P1041 cause transmission limp mode? Replaced shift selonoid, transmission range sensor/neutral safety switch, ecu and still in limp mode. please help. have checked everything to think of.

P1041 is a manufacture specific code ,with out knowing the make vehicle can't help . Where do you live that you can get away with taking off O2 sensors an Cat . Isn't there emission testing there ! You replaced a few parts ,maybe you should take it to a ASE certified repair shop instead of guessing !

P1382 refer to technical manual

no engine stated, there are 3 . which one, each works different.

p1 means factory code, never use other makers codes for P1xxx
ever, use JEEP.
rule 1 , stated.
never use google to look them up, unless filtered hard for JEEP & engine exact !
rule 2 stated
i state this because others read this stuff......
just sold my 99, (owned many a jeep) mine was I6 -4.0L engine.
1382, factory code, no engine, stated or tranny stated.
who pulled this code? you, autozoned or?
i cant find it.
try alldata.com

make real sure its 1382, look again, and some scan tools
(most the cheap ones) can get factory P1 codes right.
a rule 3 thing.
i see google shows near nothing, so that tells me your code is bad
i do google to see if others had it... i do but dont trust 99% of the answers.

scan it with a real scan tool
you can rent them dirt cheap.
some are loaned at the major car parts stores, nice ones.

I have a orange light that stays on but dont know what the symbol means volvo v40 1999 car

So your check engine light came on. I would definately reset the error registry by disconnecting your battery for a couple of minutes...reconnect battery. Start the car up and see if the light still comes on...If it does, I would recommend getting the code read to determine exactly what it means. Could be something as simple as a sensor to something more serious.

How do I know if I have a CD player in my Volvo 850? There is a CD button but when I press the CD button it says "EEEE" my audio system is the SC-710. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Apparently you do not have a CD changer connected to your radio and that is why you get an error when you press the CD button. However sometimes it's an error code and means that you need to reenter the code for the radio. Is there a place to put in a CD? If so, here's a link to some info on your radio and entering your code.

Good luck!

2000 Volvo S80 T6 scanner code P0237

Actually I believe the code has something to do with fuel.. the P0237 means Powertrain (P), the 0 means its a common code throughout all vehicles not manufactur specific and the 2 means Fuel , the 37 is the specific code and says the problem usually that i dont know off hand but if theres like a lack of power or you know this is creating a misfire i would start out by checkin fuel pressure [pressure, pump, rails] and then fuel delievery [injectors].

hope that gets you started or an idea maybe


ps a turbo is something you usually install yourself so the car shouldnt be equipped with a turbo sensor...i dont think that exists
