7 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 6 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected improper operation of the Variable Cam Timing Solenoid 'B'. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Camshaft Position Actuator Circuit Bank 2 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.
The control module detected improper operation of the Knock sensor (KS) 2, bank 2. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mercedes-Benz.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Knock Sensor 2 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Porsche.
The stored code identifies a fault of the Super knock detection. Documented for the Bosch MED 17.4.x engine ECU (EP6 THP family) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models. PSA documentation does not characterise the failure mode further.
The control module's internal test reported the Engine control module (ECM) as faulty. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
