Fault
Code
Type
Code
Code Description Type Description Possible Root Cause
511 13
Intake manifold air
temperature
Lost communication with device. Faulty TMAP sensor
541 22 Seawater temperature
Relative to a specified threshold,
the value is too high.
Faulty ECT sensor
621 5 System voltage
The signal received is valid but is
lower than the expected range.
Faulty stator coil or associated wiring
3061 2 Fuel pump
The output signal from the ECU to
the device is short circuit or has
too little resistance.
Contamination in the electric fuel
pumps or failure of the pumps
3160 11 Idle air control system
Too little fuel is detected relative to
the amount of air.
Faulty IAC valve
