B0520 Pontiac 6000 OBD Code

OBD/2 B0520 error code description and symptoms.

Low Speed Fuel Pump Primary Circuit Malfunction The PCM monitors the low speed fuel pump (LFP) primary circuit output from the PCM.
The test fails if: When the LFP circuit is commanded on (grounded), excessive current draw is detected on the LFP circuit; or when the LFP circuit is commanded off, voltage is not detected on the LFP circuit (the PCM expects to detect VPWR voltage coming through the low speed fuel pump relay coil to the LFP circuit). Open or shorted low fuel pump (LFP) circuit Open VPWR to low speed fuel pump relay Damaged low speed fuel pump relay Damaged PCM An open circuit or short to ground can only be detected with the low speed fuel pump.

A good starting point in your diagnosis is checking all system fuses and fusible links. This can be done using the DVOM on the voltage setting. You will want to test the fuses with circuits loaded. Some fuses will appear normal until a load is placed on their respective circuit; at which point they will fail. This has been the cause of many 'phantom malfunctions'. Consult your vehicle information source for fuse and fusible link locations. If all fuses are in working order, you may want to check TCM relay operation by swapping identical relays. Usually the horn relay, starter relay, fuel pump relay, air conditioning clutch relay, and controller relays are similar enough in design to swap for diagnostic purposes.

If your throttle position sensor b out of self test range check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system B0520 and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different throttle position sensor b out of self test range, and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

Common Causes of Pontiac 6000 B0520 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code B0520 is the failure of Throttle Position Sensor B Out Of Self Test Range, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

EVAP canister or fuel tank leaks
Faulty spark plug (s)
1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Internal electrical failures in actuator motors/solenoids.
