C0168 Chevrolet Copper-cooled OBD Code

OBD/2 C0168 error code description and symptoms.

Intake Manifold Runner Control Malfunction (Stuck Open) The IMRC system is monitored for failure during continuous, key ON engine OFF or key ON engine running self-test. The test fails when the signal on the monitor pin is less than an expected calibrated range at closed throttle. IMRC monitor signal circuit shorted to PWR GND or SIG RTN Damaged IMRC actuator Damaged PCM An IMRCM PID reading approximately near 1 volt at closed throttle may indicate a fault.

As long as the throttle plate remains closed, the idling speed and quality is controlled by the PCM via the idle control valve, and as can be seen from the above it should be clear that idle control on a gasoline engine is a complex affair. For instance, if the engine is started in sub-zero temperatures, the PCM will command the idling control valve to allow less air to enter the engine to enrich the air/fuel mixture to create a condition which is roughly analogous to how chokes worked on carburetted engines to control idling in cold weather.

C0168 Chevrolet Copper-cooled Error Code Repair Process :

The rule of C0168 code when it comes to emissions-related vehicle repair is that any modification that changes the vehicle from a certified configuration to a non-certified configuration is considered tampering: this applies to both vehicle owners and repair facilities and is, therefore, a Federal offense. Replacing a catalyst with a straight pipe is one traditional example of seat driver front up circuit failure. Likewise, overriding the OBD C0168 error in system through the use of high-tech defeat devices or non-certified computer chips, for example, would also be considered tampering. The OBD system may, however, be repaired back to its original certified configuration with certified performance chips or appropriate aftermarket parts.

Common Causes of Chevrolet Copper-cooled C0168 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code C0168 is the failure of Seat Driver Front Up Circuit Failure, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 circuit poor electrical connection
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) position circuit poor electrical connection

C0168 is a kind of Chassis Trouble Code

Diagnosing chassis noises can be one of the most frustrating problems technicians face. Fortunately, manufacturers have engineered noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnostic techniques and equipment to find the source of the noise.
