P0154 is a relatively common trouble code. It’s generic, which means that it has the same meaning for any vehicle with OBDII (Buick Encore or not). It means that the PCM/ECM is not detecting any activity from the sensor. There can be many reasons for this code to throw. These include a bad o2 … Read more
P0134 is a relatively common OBDII trouble code. It’s generic, which means that it has the same meaning for any vehicle with OBDII. It means that the PCM/ECM is not detecting any activity from the sensor. P0134 Definition P0134: O2 Sensor → No Activity Detected →Bank 1 Sensor 1 The Encore’s computer uses the … Read more
P0403 is a very common trouble code. It is a generic code, which means that it has the same meaning for the Buick Encore as it would any other vehicle. It affects the EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation System and technically means: P0403: EGR→ Circuit Malfunction A circuit malfunction implies that there is a wiring problem … Read more
P0402 is an OBDII trouble code that’ll pop up in the Buick Encore. It has to do with the emissions system and stands for: P0402: EGR → Excessive Flow Diagnosis The EGR system on a vehicle is responsible for recirculating exhaust gasses in order to lower the vehicles emissions output. The amount of gas cycled … Read more
With the Buick Encore, P0404 is going to have the same meaning as it would in any other vehicle. It’s a generic powertrain code that stands for: P0404: EGR Circuit → Range/Performance While there are several issues that can throw the P0404 code in the Encore, the most common issue is either going to be … Read more
The Buick Encore utilizes a crankshaft position sensor in order to regulate the engine timing. This sensor uses a reluctor to gauge the position of the crank. When the Encore’s ECM determines that there is an issue with the signal coming from this sensor, it’ll throw the P0335 trouble code. P0335 Symptoms: Buick Encore … Read more
P0138 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including theBuick Encore. The code is triggered when: The voltage at the sensor remains above threshold for 20 seconds or more Voltage to the sensor is to high (wiring problem, think short) Bad O2 sensor itself There are also some less likely problems … Read more
P0133 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including theBuick Encore. The code is triggered when there is an issue with the response time from the oxygen (O2) sensor when switching voltage levels. The O2 sensor is responsible for helping the ECM meter oxygen levels in the exhaust in order to … Read more
P0132 is a common OBDII code that occurs in many vehicles, including the Buick Encore. The code is triggered when: The voltage at the sensor remains above threshold for 20 seconds or more. The air fuel sensor stays in rich biased mode for too long. There are also some less likely problems that can … Read more
The P0131 code is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code that indicates low voltage in the Buick Encore’s Oxygen (O2) sensor circuit for Bank 1, Sensor 1 (B1S1). This sensor plays a crucial role in maintaining optimal engine performance by detecting the air-fuel ratio in the exhaust, then sending this data to the Encore’s engine control … Read more
