1. P0101: Mass Airflow Sensor (MAF) Circuit Range/Performance

   • Symptoms: Poor acceleration, rough idling, or reduced fuel efficiency.
   • Cause: Dirty or faulty MAF sensor.
   • Prevention: Regularly clean the MAF sensor and replace the air filter as part of scheduled maintenance. Use high-quality fuel to reduce carbon buildup.

2. P0171: System Too Lean (Bank 1)

   • Symptoms: Engine hesitation, stalling, or poor fuel economy.
   • Cause: Vacuum leaks, clogged fuel injectors, or a malfunctioning MAF sensor.
   • Prevention: Check and maintain vacuum hoses, fuel injectors, and air intake systems. Ensure proper sealing of intake components during routine inspections.

3. P0420: Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold

   • Symptoms: Reduced engine performance, check engine light.
   • Cause: Faulty catalytic converter, oxygen sensor issues, or exhaust leaks.
   • Prevention: Use high-quality fuel, regularly inspect the exhaust system, and replace faulty oxygen sensors to prevent catalytic converter damage.

4. P0300: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected

   • Symptoms: Rough engine performance, engine misfiring, or shaking.
   • Cause: Faulty spark plugs, ignition coils, or fuel injectors.
   • Prevention: Replace spark plugs and ignition coils at regular intervals, and use recommended fuel to prevent carbon buildup in the combustion chamber.

5. P0340: Camshaft Position Sensor Circuit Malfunction

   • Symptoms: Engine stalling, poor acceleration, or difficulty starting.
   • Cause: Faulty camshaft position sensor or wiring issues.
   • Prevention: Regularly inspect wiring harnesses and connections, especially near the sensor. Replace the camshaft position sensor when showing signs of wear or failure.

6. P0456: Evaporative Emissions System Leak (Small Leak)

   • Symptoms: Fuel smell, check engine light.
   • Cause: Loose or faulty gas cap, leaks in the EVAP system.
   • Prevention: Ensure the gas cap is properly sealed after refueling, and periodically check for leaks in the EVAP system hoses and valves.

7. B1054: Airbag System Malfunction

   • Symptoms: Airbag warning light on the dashboard.
   • Cause: Faulty airbag sensor, clock spring, or wiring issues.
   • Prevention: Avoid unnecessary pressure on the steering wheel and regularly inspect the airbag system components. Address any airbag-related warning light issues immediately.

8. U1000: CAN Communication Line Error

   • Symptoms: Various system malfunctions, random warning lights.
   • Cause: Poor connections or faults in the CAN communication network between control modules.
   • Prevention: Ensure all control modules and wiring connections are properly maintained and secure, especially after any repairs or modifications.

9. C1109: Battery Voltage Low (ABS System)

   • Symptoms: ABS warning light, weak braking performance.
   • Cause: Low battery voltage or charging system failure.
   • Prevention: Regularly check the battery voltage and alternator output. Replace the battery or alternator as needed to maintain proper electrical system performance.

10. P0113: Intake Air Temperature Sensor Circuit High Input

    • Symptoms: Poor acceleration, reduced fuel efficiency.
    • Cause: Faulty intake air temperature (IAT) sensor or wiring issues.
    • Prevention: Inspect and replace the IAT sensor if necessary, and ensure the sensor and its wiring are clean and properly connected.

General Preventive Maintenance Tips:

• Regular Diagnostic Scans: Run OBD-II scans regularly to catch and resolve issues early.
• Proper Maintenance: Follow the recommended service intervals for oil changes, air filters, and fuel system cleaning.
• Use Quality Parts: Use OEM or high-quality aftermarket parts for repairs, especially for sensors and ignition components.
• Monitor Warning Lights: Address any warning light immediately to prevent more serious damage to the vehicle.
