P0278 Jordan J OBD Code

OBD/2 P0278 error code description and symptoms.

Vehicle Speed Sensor (VSS) Intermittent Indicates the powertrain control module (PCM) detected an error in the vehicle speed information. Vehicle speed data is received from either the vehicle speed sensor (VSS), transfer case speed sensor (TCSS), anti-lock brake system (ABS) control module, generic electronic module (GEM), or central timer module (CTM). This DTC is set the same way as P0278. However, it is intended to flash the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) for first time VSS circuit error/malfunctions. Refer to possible causes for P0278

Circuit High Input codes like P0278 are mostly caused by defective alternators that develop excessive voltages, although there may be other causes as well, such as short circuits that 'leak' current into a particular system from other, unrelated systems that work on higher voltages. Note that in the case of short circuits that leak power into a control circuit, there is likely to be other, seemingly unrelated trouble codes present along with the code(s) being investigated. Diagnosing a 'high input' code will always involve a thorough testing of the charging system as a first step, followed by measures to isolate the system from all other possible sources of power during resistance, continuity, and reference voltage tests.

Common Causes of Jordan J P0278 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code P0278 is the failure of P0278 Cylinder 6 Contribution/Balance Fault, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

• EVAP system hose leaking
• 1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
• Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve circuit poor electrical connection
• Erratic camshaft position due to low oil pressure

P0278 is a kind of Powertrain Trouble Code Powertrain of a modern automobile, comprising engine (with exhaust system), transmission, drive shaft, suspension and the wheels.
