SOURCE: Code P0401 1998 Toyota Camry

I'm assuming that it is a four cyl.The p0401 code is for insufficient egr flow.Most of the time it is the egr vsv valve (vsv means vacuum switching valve)which is what controls the vacuum to the egr valve to open it.It is kind of hard to get to as it is on the block under the head on the back side.If you follow the hose from the egr valve it goes to the vsv.I have also seen mice eat holes in the vacuum line which would also give you problems.I hope this help and let me know if you have anymore questions

Mass Air Flow sensor! Just remove your air filter cover. Go to Auto Zone and purchase some solvent. Spray past the air filter and it should correct the problem. If not, replace the Mass air-flow sensor. This is commonly mistaken for an oxygen sensor. Mine did this and I followed these steps and it fixed the light. BTW, the light stayed on for 5 years before I fixed it. Never hurt anything. It's normally something to do with emissions. Dummy lights. :)

SOURCE: check engine light

It could be a few different things but most likely it is the Oxygen Sensor (O2 Sensor) The only way to really know is to go to your local autoparts store and use there loaner On board diagnostics tool...there is a plug in somewhere under the drivers side dash...turn the OBD reader on after is is pluged in and then it will instruct you to turn the vehicle on...after a few min, it will produce a "trouble code" Look in a Haynes repair manual and match the code to your code and it will reveal the problem...replace the faulty part and the check engine light should go away.

Not sure what is causing it, but it sounds like you're running on 3 cyllinders. Check plugs, wires, timing . timing belt may have jumped, bad injector, low fuel pressure.

SOURCE: code P0125 keeps coming up, obd system does not

Hi,

The p0125 code is an oxygen sensor code, the description will say something like" insufficient coolant temp for closed loop operation" the problem is not the coolant temp sensor, the problem is that the signal from the O2 sensor is not within the parameters that the computer needs to go into a closed loop condition, more than likely replacing the O2 sensor will take care of the problem but only if there is not another problem with the engine such as a misfire, vacuum leak or a mechanical problem, from what you've said this doesn't seem to be the case, so before spending a lot of time diagnosing replace the sensor.

Thanks.

My 2001 x5 evap & catalyst report not ready, I reset my MAF OBDII Code ~70 miles before checking it, but...

if you had reset the code[ or had a dead battery]you just cleared and reset all the vehicles evap / emissions systems it now has to recycle through to reset you wont have a check engine or mil unless computer finds a fault and on most vehicles it can be about 125 miles and usually the last to reset are the evap and the catalytic converter drive around and at around 125 mark go to an auto store and have vehicle scanned most offer this service for free or if you have one check your system for ready if not keep driving some more most states give you 10 days to retry so use that time to rack up miles -- and dont reset or clear codes before an inspection

Drive cycle reset

Drive Cycle resets to reset the OBDII testing phases are very specialized to the year, model and engine of your car. So I can only speak generally. Start the car from fully cold and let it idle for about 15 minutes, then put the car into gear and drive it for about 5 minutes at 35 mph, then get on a highway and drive at about 60 mph for 15 minutes, come off the highway and drive around 40 mph for 3 minutes, come to a complete stop (like a stop sign) wait 30 seconds, drive off again up to 40 mph for 4 minutes - and repeat the last 2 steps (going up to 40 mph) about 3-5 times. Then repeat the last two steps going up to only 25 mph. Then come to a complete stop in your driveway and let the car idle for 10 minutes with the a/c on . After this is done, hook up a code scanner and see if it reset the modes to "ready".

What is the drive cycle for a 2002 Yukon XL 1500

I don't understand "drive cycle". You can clear the codes by unhooking the battery for 5 minutes then repowering.

Check engine light on with p0430, had it reset put some catclean in, drove for 150 miles about 160 mph check engine light did not come back on. But the p0430 comes up.

You didn't reset a thing

You cleared all data needed to diagnose the issue

Google your codes: OBD PO430

You will see you have a failed exhaust converter

Now you have to resolve the reason it failed,
before replacing it,they should last 15 years

I have a 2004 Chevy Cavalier. A couple of months ago, just after starting the car one day, the 'check engine' and 'trac off' lights both came on. I immediately shut off the car, waited approximately 5...

Many cars have the cooling fan on a thermostat or time delay, to allow it to run for a short period of time after the engine turns off, to cool the engine off. You may have just never noticed it before. So I wouldn't worry about that.
Your real problem is the blowing fuses, apparently you have a short somewhere in your wiring. Putting in bigger and bigger fuses is a great way to set fire to your wiring harness. It's possible that the wire is pinched or chafed somewhere, and perhaps when you hit a bump just right, it touches and shorts.
You may have to take this to the Chevy dealer or a GOOD independent shop to have them chase it down. Unless someone out there knows exactly what this is, it could be a tough one to find.

Hello
I would disconnect the battery for at least 20 seconds. Connect the battery drive the car for a least 5 miles at least 50 MPH that should reset it, if not you should have a scan tool connected to see what is going on, take care of the problem and clear the codes
Good luck

1995 k2500 Chevy truck engine runs rough some of the time?

I had a similar problem @105k. I had changed the fuel filter but it was still sending all kinds of codes that were related to 2 problems. Long story short, the main problem was a bad trigger assembly in the distributor (rough running) and the other was a loose engine to body ground (engine code issue). Good luck, this worked for me, now 171k.
