Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C3231, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C3231 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

C3231 Error Code Repair Process :

OBD C3231 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 driver side, 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 C3231 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 C3231 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.

C3231 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.

Common Causes of C3231

A common cause of code C3231 is the failure of Driver Side, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1
Ignition coils harness is open or shorted
