P2135 TPS Switch “A/B” Voltage Correlation If your Chrysler PT Cruiser has P2135 it is considered “drive by wire”. Which means that it uses sensors and actuators to … Read more
P2197 is a general DTC code that indicates that the signal coming from your Chrysler PT Cruiser’s first O2 sensor on the bank two side of the engine is stuck giving off a lean signal. The voltage reading from a normal oxygen sensor should look something like a heartbeat, whereas with P2197 the voltage looks like … Read more
P2195 is a general OBD2 code that indicates that the signal coming from your Chrysler PT Cruiser’s 1’st O2 sensor on Bank 1 Sensor 1 is stuck lean. DTC P2195 is a general code, which means that it has the same meaning for any make, model, or year. It is most typically caused by a … Read more
P2272 in the Chrysler PT Cruiser is a general diagnostic trouble code. It means that the “bank 2” downstream oxygen sensor (behind the catalytic converter) is continuously sending voltage that indicates a lean air/fuel mixture. This does not necessarily mean that the vehicle is running lean (although it can, but usually doesn’t). P2272 is … Read more
P2270 is a general DTC trouble code, which means it has the same meaning for the Chrysler PT Cruiser as it would any other vehicle. It means that the oxygen sensor located on bank 1 behind the catalytic converter is continuously sending voltage that indicates a lean air/fuel mixture. This does not necessarily mean … Read more
Your Chrysler PT Cruiser utilizes an evaporative emissions control (EVAP) system to migrate fuel vapors from the gas tank and fuel filler neck, and sends them to the engine to be burned off. When the pressure inside of the fuel tank is too high, P0453, is thrown and the check engine light comes on. If the … Read more
P0452 is a generic OBD II code that can occur in the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It means that your PT Cruiser’s EVAP system has detected low fuel tank pressure. The evaporative emissions control system (EVAP) sends fuel vapors from the fuel tank to the intake manifold to be burned off. When the pressure in the … Read more
P2189 is a DTC code that can occur in your Chrysler PT Cruiser. It indicates the air fuel mixture is too lean at idle, specifically in bank 2 (we’ll cover how to find bank 2 later). Its is different from the much more common P0174, which indicates that bank 2 is lean at any engine … Read more
P2187 is a DTC code that can occur in the Chrysler PT Cruiser. It indicates the air fuel mixture is too lean at idle. The technical definition for P2187 “System Too Lean at Idle: Bank 1”. The code is thrown after your PT Cruiser’s oxygen sensor on Bank 1 (usually sensor 1) has detected that … Read more
P2181 indicates that your Chrysler PT Cruiser has an observed cooling system temperature that is too high or too low. It will come up in the scan tool as “Cooling System Performance”. The trouble with P2181 is that by itself, it’s not narrowing much down. There could be a problem with your PT Cruiser’s cooling … Read more
