U285A Vauxhall Viceroy OBD Code

OBD/2 U285A 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 U285A. However, it is intended to flash the transmission control indicator lamp (TCIL) for first time VSS circuit error/malfunctions. Refer to possible causes for U285A

As the engine heats up and combustion becomes easier and more complete, the PCM will command the idling control valve to increase the amount of air entering the engine to suit the changing conditions. However, when the load on the engine changes, say, when some electrical consumers or other systems are either turned on or off, the PCM adapts the signal voltage to the idle control valve to ensure that the idling speed remains stable, and at the RPM specified by the manufacturer.

If your o2 sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1) check engine light is illuminated, it's best to take it in for diagnostic testing, which can feel like a hassle. Because while the lights vary in appearance from vehicle to vehicle, all have the same basic meaning: There's a problem with the car's emissions system. The on-board diagnostics system U285A and engine control unit are in charge of monitoring a bunch of different o2 sensor circuit slow response (bank 1 sensor 1), and if they get a reading that's a little out of whack, up pops the check engine light.

Common Causes of Vauxhall Viceroy 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 ;

EVAP system hose leaking
Faulty TCM or TCM programming
Faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor
Faulty variable valve timing (VVT)

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.
