P0203 - Injector Circuit Malfunction Cylinder 3

Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module (ECM) checks the injectors circuit resistance and monitors the voltage drop during normal operation. The PCM/ECM will trigger the P0203 code when the resistance or voltage drop at the injector #3 is out of specifications.

Causes:
- Open or shorted wiring harness to the injector #3
- Bad injector #3
- Bad PCM/ECM

Solutions:
- If damage, repair injector wire harness or connector
- Replace injector
- Replace PCM or ECM


P0204 - Injector Circuit Malfunction Cylinder 4

Same info as the P0203 DTC


P0300 - Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

When a misfire occurs, engine speed will fluctuate. If the engine speed fluctuates enough to cause the crankshaft position (CKP) sensor (POS) signal to vary, Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or Electronic Control Module (ECM) can determine that a misfire is occurring.

Causes:
- Improper spark plug
- Insufficient compression
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- The injector circuit is open or shorted
- Fuel injectors may be faulty
- Intake air leak
- The ignition signal circuit is open or shorted

Solutions:
- Perform Injector Service
- Replace Spark Plugs
- Replace Injectors
- Replace Ignition Coils

I have check engine on trac off

The trac off light is on due to the engine light, the trac system is shut down whenever the engine light is on due to the reason that the trac system can not operate correctly if the engine is not operating correctly so inturn the computer shuts down the trac. the engine light is on due to a problem you will need to have the computer scanned for codes. the computer will turn the engine light on and store a code of what it sees as a problem, the computer is always scanning and watching the engines operating system and when it detects something wrong it stores the code or codes and turns on the light, you will need to go and read the codes, there are many autopart stores that will scan it and give you a readout of the codes for free. get the codes and i will help you futher. good day.

All of the sudden my check engine light, my VSC light, and my TRAC OFF light came on. Any thoughts?

You need to have the ecm scanned for codes. The VSC and TRAC OFF lights are one just because the Check engine light is on. Once you clear the code in the ecm they will go off too.

2001 chevy cavalier,cooling fan wont come on,relay o.k,temp sensor o.k,coolant level o.k.,chec engine light on,also trac light on,also a/c compressor clicking on and off,code reader says cooling circut...

could be a p.c.m. if you can't read codes.

Engine light if giving a cooling circuit problem, senses that the fan won't come on. Trac goes on when the abs wheel speed sensors don't sense right speed (open or closed circiuit). Could be a fusible link near starter.

a/c clicking on and off, could mean charge is insufficient or too much r134a in the system.

Those are my thoughts on it.

What does yellow engine light mean on the left side of dash?

Hello... The yellow engine light is better known as a "Check Engine" Light. When it comes on there is an emission related fault with your vehicle even if it drives good and no problem is noticed.

To get why the light is on, a tool called a scan-tool is needed. Most auto parts stores will read the light to you for free. From the reading will come a code or codes. If you ge the information and Post back a comment I may be able to assist you further.

Good Luck...

VSC TRAC, TRAC OFF and CHECk ENGINE lights

You have to know what code is stored to fix the problem. Toyota's will generally display a Check Engine light, VSC and TRAC light all at the same time, even if it's a simple problem with an oxygen sensor (for example). You can disconnect the negative battery cable for a few minutes, even though you should a scan tool should be used, to clear out the code.

Transmission shifts hard when the trac off light comes on

youll need to scan for transmission codes. the trac off light is a default of the trans going into a default safety mode. Bad speed sensors and simple little bolt on items like that can cause the condition but only way to really nail it is with a computer.
