The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve coil 2 - short/ circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mazda.
The control module detected a condition consistent with a leak affecting the Downstream Throttle Air. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
The control module detected the fault condition "Position incorrect relative to requirement, not enough turbo (Service)" for the Variable resistance turbocharger. Documented for the Continental SID 807 injection ECU (DV6C 1.6 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module detected the fault condition "Position incorrect in relation to the requirement (Not enough turbocharging) (APV)" for the Variable geometry turbocharger. Documented for the Delphi DCM 3.5 injection ECU (DW10C 2.0 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module detected that the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid valve - signal 3 voltage stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Subaru.
The control module registered the fault condition described as "Secondary Air System Bank 3 Flow Fault". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
