B0440 Mercury Marauder OBD Code

OBD/2 B0440 error code description and symptoms.

The Throttle Position sensor signals the Engine Control Module as to the current position of the engine throttle valve.
The current throttle valve opening is based on the driver's input from the gas pedal. The ECM uses the information from this sensor to help calculate fuel delivery and spark timing.

At this point we are assuming that the fuses and relays are good. You will need to locate the PCM/TCM and the power input signal circuit using your vehicle information source. Unplug the connector from the PCM/TCM, place the ignition switch in the ON position, and probe the appropriate circuit with the positive test lead of the DVOM.

B0440 Mercury Marauder Error Code Repair Process :

OBD B0440 code and tailpipe testing are two different approaches to identify vehicles in need of repair. The OBD system looks for broken or malfunctioning emissions control components and downstream heated o2 sensors swapped, while tailpipe tests sample a vehicle's exhaust to see if it is above or below certain prescribed limits. Given the robust nature of today's emissions control components, it is entirely possible for an individual component to B0440 malfunction without leading to an immediate increase in emissions at the tailpipe. In such cases, other components (like the catalyst) can temporarily compensate for the part that is broken however, these other components can only do double duty for so long before they, too, begin to malfunction. In addition, OBD also monitors for B0440 and other malfunctions in the fuel system problems that traditional tailpipe tests were not designed to identify. Most state and local areas also include a gas cap pressure test as part of an emission inspection.

Common Causes of Mercury Marauder B0440 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code B0440 is the failure of Downstream Heated O2 Sensors Swapped, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Damaged ECM
Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
