B2118 Talbot Horizon OBD Code

OBD/2 B2118 error code description and symptoms.

The Transmission Range Sensor (also referred to as the PRNDL input an/or neutral safety switch) tells the transmission control module (TCM) an the engine control module (PCM) that the transmission is in park, reverse, neutral, drive, low, 2nd, 3rd etc. It is attached directly to the manual valve of transmission, so when the shift lever is moved from park to drive, the Transmission Range Sensor communicates this critical information to the above mentioned vehicle control module systems.

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.

B2118 Talbot Horizon Error Code Repair Process :

OBD B2118 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 b2118 passenger side side mount airbag low capacitance on squib, 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 B2118 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 B2118 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 Talbot Horizon B2118 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code B2118 is the failure of B2118 Passenger Side Side mount Airbag Low capacitance on Squib, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1
Open circuits caused by damage to wiring.
