P048D Bmw 3 OBD Code

OBD/2 P048D 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 P048D. However, it is intended to flash the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) for first time VSS circuit error/malfunctions. Refer to possible causes for P048D

Circuit High Input codes like P048D 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.

P048D Bmw 3 Error Code Repair Process :

When you turn on the ignition, the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine P048D light should flash briefly, indicating that the OBD system is ready to scan your vehicle for any malfunctions. After this brief flash, the light should stay off while you drive as long as no problems are detected. If variable cam timing overretarded (bank #2) so, you'll be glad to know that your vehicle is equipped with an early warning system that could save you time, money, and fuel in addition to helping protect the variable cam timing overretarded (bank #2).

Common Causes of Bmw 3 P048D OBD2 Code

A common cause of code P048D is the failure of Variable Cam Timing Overretarded (Bank #2), but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

EVAP system hose leaking
Faulty starter motor
Intake Valve Timing Control Solenoid Valve harness is open or shorted
Faulty Crankshaft Position Sensor (POS)

P048D is a kind of Powertrain Trouble Code

Powertrain of a modern automobile, comprising engine (with exhaust system), transmission, drive shaft, suspension and the wheels. In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air.
