P2138 is a generic powertrain code that can affect your Ford Taurus’s “drive by wire” throttle system. It means that your Taurus’s “D” and “E” throttle position sensors do not agree with one another on how much far the throttle has been opened. They should have a similar voltage output. In this case, they do … Read more
P2196 is a generic diagnostic trouble code that indicates that your Ford Taurus’s first oxygen sensor on bank one is stuck rich. It does not necessarily mean that the vehicle itself is running too rich. This code is the opposite of code P2195, which indicates the oxygen sensor is stuck lean. P2196 Definition: Oxygen Sensor … Read more
P2135 is a generic powertrain code that can affect any make or model of vehicle that has a “drive by wire” throttle system (almost every vehicle made today). P2135 TPS Switch “A/B” Voltage Correlation If your Ford Taurus has P2135 it is considered “drive by wire”. Which means that it uses sensors and actuators to control … Read more
P2197 is a general DTC code that indicates that the signal coming from your Ford Taurus’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 a … Read more
P2195 is a general OBD2 code that indicates that the signal coming from your Ford Taurus’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 bad … Read more
P2272 in the Ford Taurus 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 typically … Read more
P2270 is a general DTC trouble code, which means it has the same meaning for the Ford Taurus 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 that … Read more
P1131 is a diagnostic trouble code that applies to vehicles manufactured by Ford, including the Taurus. Trouble codes that start with P1XXX were reserved for manufacturers. This code occurs when the upstream O2 sensor on bank 1 fails a diagnostic test twice in a row. src=”https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Ford-Taurus.png” alt=”P1131 Ford Taurus” width=”593″ height=”306″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-4324″/> P1131 … Read more
P1151 is a diagnostic trouble code that applies to vehicles manufactured by Ford, in this case the Taurus. This code occurs when the upstream O2 sensor on bank 2 fails a diagnostic test twice in a row. src=”https://www.700r4transmissionhq.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/09/Ford-Taurus.png” alt=”P151 Ford Taurus” width=”593″ height=”306″ class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-4324″/> DTC P1151 is usually caused by a bad oxygen … Read more
Your Ford Taurus 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 only … Read more
