P0355 is a generic OBD II diagnostic code that indicates an issue with the ignition coil “E”. Specifically with the primary or secondary wiring circuits. If your Volkswagen Transporter has thrown this code, it may be accompanied by P0305. P0355 is a relatively straightforward diagnosis and is typically caused by a bad coil pack or wiring harness issue, although … Read more
P2198 is a generic diagnostic trouble code that indicates that your Volkswagen Transporter’s B2S1 O2 sensor signal is stuck rich. It does not necessarily mean that the vehicle itself is running rich (although it very well could). DTC P2198 is most likely caused by a bad oxygen sensor, although there are many potential secondary causes. … Read more
P2138 is a generic powertrain code that can affect your Volkswagen Transporter’s “drive by wire” throttle system. It means that your Transporter’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 Volkswagen Transporter’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 Volkswagen Transporter 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 Volkswagen Transporter’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 Volkswagen Transporter’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 Volkswagen Transporter 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 Volkswagen Transporter 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
Your Volkswagen Transporter 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
