B2951 Buick 50 OBD Code

OBD/2 B2951 error code description and symptoms.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Intermittent The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

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.

B2951 Buick 50 Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a B2951 test and the B2951 Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses exhaust pressure control valve intermittent a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look exhaust pressure control valve intermittent: Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

Common Causes of Buick 50 B2951 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code B2951 is the failure of Exhaust Pressure Control Valve Intermittent, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Continuous oil flow to the VCT piston chamber
Fuel injectors harness is open or shorted
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) position circuit is open or shorted
