U285A British Salmson 20 OBD Code

OBD/2 U285A error code description and symptoms.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Intermittent The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code U285A, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code U285A on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

U285A British Salmson 20 Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a U285A test and the U285A Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses o2 sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1) a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look o2 sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1): Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

Common Causes of British Salmson 20 U285A OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U285A is the failure of O2 Sensor Circuit Slow Response (Bank 1 Sensor 1), but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Faulty Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1
Ignition coils circuit poor electrical connection
Faulty spark plug (s)

U285A is a kind of Network Trouble Code

U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.
