Hi I just recently changed out a battery sensor and I have a pending code U1112 how long will it take to go away?tried clearing it with obd scanner but it comes back as a pending code. thanks
I got that same code on my 06 maxima after the camshaft sensors stopped working correctly. Changed the sensors and cleared codes and hasn't come up since
Thanks, Drew. My '88 Fiero GT turns the engine light on @ 60 mph. So, I back off, and it turns off. I treat this old boy like ole Terry Labonte said years ago: "run it 'til it blows." :^) So I pamper it. I own two poor man's supercars: the Fiero and a '93 Probe GT. Both are pristine low mileage machines. Just short trips. 20 miles a day to keep 'em limber. :^)
Gary McAleer I remember the probe, they were cool. I want to get an original Fiero, the 4 cylinder. Your Fiero GT might have something loose that triggers the fault code when it vibrates
Is there is not an issue (just a click) and no check engine light can pending code clear by itself without the need of OBD scanner after driving several cycles
Good video. Thanks. I got a P0335 in a Nissan Almera and erased it, twice. First I erased it as a permanent DTC, later as a pending DTC. That was something I got blamed for by the car repair man. He said that he was hindered by that. It may have been easy for him to use the CAN bus scanner when the DTC is present. Can you confirm, or is there another reason ?
P0420 and P0430 fixed. No check engine light appeared after fixed, but it shows on OBDII both codes P4020 & P0430 pending, and P4030 code permanent. Total (3) codes shown on scanner. Drive cycle 450 miles. Warm-up cycle 40 times. Could it pass smog check in California?
Good video. I now understand the "Pending" description. Problem! P0101 gone live (confirmed). Replaced the air intake complete with two new air flow sensors. That's how Mercedes sells them. Really expensive £950. Cleared the Mil lamp but retained the P0101 in Pending form. Car runs great, 30, 40, 50 miles. Get home go to bed, go to work next day and start car. Engine code P0101 live again from start. How do I Delete the PENDING code. Car is MB E class 3.0 litre Diesel. Scanner is iCarsoft CR pro. Please help if you can!!!!!!
Good day, i had a P2112 code says throttle actuator stucked closed, i already replaced the throttle body with a brand new one, cleared the code and still comes back as "pending". The mechanic says that it might be a faulty wiring to the ecu?
I had a solid check engine light for 2 drives. I checked with my scan tool. P0420 (catylatic Efficiency below threshold bank 1) 2016 Tuscon. It popped up after I hit "sport mode" to get onto the hwy. Then I hit "eco mode" when I got up to speed. Right away I noticed the light and was angry. I took it to the dealership, because it's only at 78,000km and covered under the power train warranty. The mechanic said it's become a "stored code" but I don't know if that's because they tried to clear it. Or it cleared itself from them starting it so many times? They said they can't do anything to it unless it's active. I think if I go on the hwy and bring the car back to them. It would come on again. What do you think?
They should be able to clear a pending or confirmed code. If it’s stored in the ECU then your light should still be out. The light should be activated when it’s a confirmed code.
I have P0171 confirmed code and P0171 pending code? why would it show pending and confirmed? meaning another issue under the code maybe starting so two issues instead of 1?
2007 Hyundai Tucson and the check engine light came on with Transmission Control System. it’s had that for years and the car drives fine. i tried turning off the engine light but it doesn’t turn off and now i’m upset because i bought a OBD2 scanner and i feel like it doesn’t work. also the status on the problem says “current” so idk what that has to do?
@@islamfouad2619 if they are just doing the tailpipe test…possibly. If they are connecting to the OBD2 port…most likely not. I’ve done it before but it all depends on the state and the testing facility. Some are more gracious than others.
Thanks for the video. I have a 2007 Sub with only 74 miles. Check engine light turned on with OBD code P0446 (Evaporative Emission System Vent Control Circuit 1/1. I've replaced the gas cap, vapor vent canister valve, vapor jumper wire and the Emissions Vapor Canister Purge Valve Solenoid EVAP Vent ( I don't think it's necessary but I did it anyway). Cleared it and the check engine light is gone but after driving 93 miles, the I/M is still not ready with a combo drive of city and fwy. Drove it for another mile and after 6 cycles, when I run the OBD at 94 miles to see if it's I/M ready, unfortunately I see the same "pending" P0446 code despite driving it up to 110 miles hoping it will clear on it's own. So I decided to erase the pending code/OBD and did the same thing again. Drove it up to 92 miles without check engine, still not I/M ready and at 94 miles still not ready and the "pending" p0446 code is back. Should I continue driving it in hope that it will go away since it's not giving me a permanent OBD code? I'd appreciate any suggestions on what to do so I can get this smog. Btw, I/M reads as: PdDTC (1), Evap (X), Cat (X) and the rest has a check mark/ready.
Cleared my check engine light on my 2014 bmw x5 with cata clean. Which is awesome. However, the fuel catalytic converter; efficiency below limit value is showing on my BMMulti System Scan tool? I clear it and drive it for 10 minutes and the code pops back up again on the reader. Does this mean I have no choice but to hand it over to a dealer? Just want an inspection sticker. If I bring it in now; the inspection station scan will pick up the fault code as my code reader does, even though I don't have an engine light that is active. Any suggestions please?
Sounds like your catalytic converter is either dirty or bad. You can try cleaning it with lacquer thinner. I’ve used this method with success on my car. Here’s the link to the video I did showing how to clean it: ruclips.net/video/sIc0u9o_IG4/видео.html
Chances are if your check engine light is off what you are seeing is a permanent code. I am not sure the BMMulti calls them Permanent codes they may have another nomenclature for them. The strategy I would follow is to drive the car 200 miles and get 15 warm up cycles completed then take it in for a smog test. Oh I am assuming you are in CA. In CA the smog machine ignores permanent codes after 200 miles and 15 warm up cycles. MOst other states do not even take them into account so you should be OK in other states with permanent codes.
I have reoccurring misfire pendong code for 4 i fixed the obvious misfire. If reset it will see it and pending right away. New plug coil ect checked for vacuum leaks, it never became confirmed. But it bothers me . Drives me nuts to where I may run a new wire like I did for Cylinder 10 coil . Ford V10
My Toyota Avensis 2003 1.8L VVTI Petrol has two codes P1349 one is pending and one is current but both codes are the same. Is someting related with variable valve timing fault system. After i delete the code it s coming back again in a week. The car is still driveable as new. What can i do?
If it’s pending and confirmed then you are just seeing the history of it once pending prior to being confirmed by the ECU. Yes, it’s the Variable Valve Timing Solenoid. You can remove it and clean it; sometimes that will work. If not, it will need to be replaced. Here’s a video I did showing how to clean one: ruclips.net/video/ZyQdnMLFfaw/видео.html
Andy: On my 2012 Dodge Caravan, I changed both the thermostat and driver's side blend heater door actuator (AC/heater under dash) because of clicking and operation of controls. afterwards, I cleared the DTC codes with reader. I've driven the car since May for about 200 miles. Still my DTC scanner reader says no codes detected and my car fails inspection sticker.

great video! I have many codes on MB e350 2012, Current DTC P0018, P0017, P0300, P0301, P302, P303... Pending DTC, All of the above except for P0018.... Also on Permanent DTC shows the same as Pending DTC. I'm confused.
@@PhillipsVision I know, Misfires are due to timing chain failure or actuator.. my question is,I have a code on Active DTC that is not on Pending DTC.. what does that mean?
Thank you for the video.. I have a 4Runner with a cylinder 6 misfire and just changed out all my plugs as they were due. The original code is still there as I haven't driven it enough and for the heck of it ran my reader again. Now there are 2 identical codes with the second being pending. What does this mean? Thank you in advance for your time.
@@PhillipsVision Hey Sports Addict: you don't check your email? What were the codes? I have the same issue. cyl 6 misfire. new plugs- new coils- still "pending, but may trigger the check engine light again. I have only ten more days to fix it before my CA temp registration expires. Any suggestions?
Why does mechanic fixed and cleared codes keep coming back randomly. Mechanic says to just drive it a while then do the inspection but I have to do they often for months. Is ECM faulty?
Normally about 15-20 mins of steady driving, and then 15-20 mins of stop and go driving. Make sure to begin this with a cold start. If you’re trying to pass an emissions test, it’s also good to have the a/c on and stereo.
I have a confirmed code. I replaced the part that Honda suggested. I cleared all of the codes but the confirmed code is still there. Will the confirmed code go away after a certain amount of drive cycles once it tests the new part? I have a confirmed code but the check engine light went away. No pending.
shawoo in some cases, yes...it will go away after a few cycles. If you are getting a confirmed code still, you may want to clear the ECU again and see what happens. If it returns it may be a faulty replacement part.
I have 2 pending codes, both for knock sensors after pressure washing engine (common issue on GMs LS V8). Engine runs great and I have on board diagnostic so I can reset before it becomes 'current'. I don't want to take the whole intake, fuel rails, etc. off just to replace the dumb things (I can tell it's not knocking), so I was wondering if it'll affect my performance/mileage (retard timing) if it's still in 'pending' mode. Seems to run great and have good power as long as I keep reseting it, am I wrong? Will the 'pending' code actually cause computer to pull timing, or is that only with 'current' codes? No other codes, it's a 2003 Envoy XL with a 5.3 V8
I have a CONFIRMED code (P0420 - cat. efficiency) but no MIL/CEL. I had the MIL light on for a long time but it went off recently. I'm sure it will come back.
Pending just means the ecu got a random reading on it, but not consistent enough to be confirmed. Could be caused by a glitch. If it’s not confirmed I wouldn’t worry about it. It shouldn’t throw a check engine light either.
Pending code … cylinder misfire 3 code p0303. Spark plugs must be getting to the end of its life. As of now no check engine light and already drove it a bit around town. I’m going to get it checked out this week.
@@PhillipsVision Will a "confirmed" code stay stored in the ECU until it is cleared with a ODB tool, or will it automatically be cleared over time if the issue is fixed?
@@PhillipsVision Your welcome, I've just got quotes of between £216-320 for an inspection and I had to prompt them into talking about tracing wiped codes etc......Think that if I do get to treat myself I'll check the car over myself! (your up bright and early in the U.S. it's 11:50 A.M. here). lol
On 2010 and newer vehicle permanent codes are basically copies of Confirmed codes but they stay around even after the repair is done. If you have a permanent code only but no check engine light there is nothing to fix. The ECU will clear out the permanent code once it sees the fault is no longer there after recreating the driving conditions that set the code in the first place multiple times. There is no set mileage or days that the Permanent code will clear. If you need to pass a SMOG check in CA - you can still pass a SMOG check with a permanent code. You just have to drive the car 200 miles since you last cleared the codes and complete 15 warm up cycles. If you do not have to pass a smog check in CA it is safe just to ignore permanent codes. As I said there is nothing wrong with our car with a permanent code only and no check engine light.
