P0B3C Porsche 968 OBD Code

OBD/2 P0B3C error code description and symptoms.

Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) Circuit High Input Indicates the sensor signal is greater than Self-Test maximum. The ECT sensor maximum is 4.6 volts or -50 C (-58 F). Note on some vehicles that are not equipped with an ECT sensor, CHT can be used and can set this DTC. Open circuit in harness Sensor signal short to power Damaged PCM Improper harness connection Damaged sensor ECT V PID reading greater than 4.6 volts with key ON and engine OFF or during any engine operating mode indicates a hard fault.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code P0B3C, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code P0B3C on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

P0B3C Porsche 968 Error Code Repair Process :

OBD P0B3C 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 front doppler sensor circuit failure, 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 P0B3C 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 P0B3C 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.

Common Causes of Porsche 968 P0B3C OBD2 Code

A common cause of code P0B3C is the failure of Front Doppler Sensor Circuit Failure, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

• Engine Control Module (ECM)
• Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
• Camshaft Position Sensor harness is open or shorted
• Starting system circuit Dead (Weak) battery

P0B3C is a kind of Powertrain Trouble Code Powertrain of a modern automobile, comprising engine (with exhaust system), transmission, drive shaft, suspension and the wheels.
