U0073 Definition: Control Module Communication Bus”A” Off U0073 is a fairly common trouble code. It is generic, so it has the same meaning for your Dodge Stratus as it would any other. This code appears when something has interrupted the communication between two of your Stratus’s control modules. The most common causes of U0073 are … Read more
P2276 is a general diagnostic trouble code. It means that your Dodge Stratus’s third (from the exhaust manifold) “bank 2” downstream oxygen sensor (behind the catalytic converter) is continuously sending voltage that indicates a lean air/fuel mixture. Having this code does not necessarily mean that the vehicle is running lean (although it can, but … Read more
P2274 in the Dodge Stratus is a general diagnostic trouble code. It means that the “bank 1” oxygen sensor (third oxygen sensor from the exhaust manifold, behind a 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, … Read more
P2018 is a generic diagnostic trouble code (DTC) that indicates an issue with your Dodge Stratus’s intake manifold runner position sensor/valve (from here on out, we will be referring to this sensor by its common abbreviation of IMRC). P2018 Definition: IMRC – Switch Circuit Intermittent (Bank 1) IMRC The IMRC’s job is to help your Stratus’s … Read more
