6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 6 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected an electrical fault in the Battery temperature sensor circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
The control module detected crankshaft speed fluctuations consistent with combustion misfire (Misfire). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.
The control module reports that a required adaptation or reference value for the Crank Position System Variation has not been learned. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Variable Cam Timing Over Advance Bank 1 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Jaguar.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Camshaft position (CMP) actuator - timing over advanced circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Camshaft Position Timing Over Advanced Bank 1 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mazda.
