Unfortunately, code "1040" is a generic fault code and may need further diagnostic testing to decipher. In some cases, special diagnostic equipment may be required. If the code begins with a letter "P", for example, this indicates a powertrain problem.

Had this been code "P1041", for example, this would mean that injector circuit #1 is malfunctioning. P1042 is injector circuit #2, and so forth.


Have a great day !!!

2002 grand prix gt po171 code

Thats code for a bad O-2 sensor. That can be caused by antifreeze getting into the exausht. Try clearing the code and putting in a can of Sea-Foam. I have had good success with that cleaning off the sensor.

What does the p0403 code mean on a 2002 grand prix 3.1

Hi there,

Code P0403 - denotes "EGR Solenoid Malfunction"

Have the EGR solenoid tested and if not to manufacturer's specifications, replace.

1999 grand prix gt 3.8v 6 error codes 300 and 302

The PO300 code is random/multiple cylinder misfire detected. Sinsc you have the code PO302, that means that cylinder 2 is the one misfiring, usually a bad coil pack, or spark plug.
