B1343 Recirculation Actuator

  • P0100: Mass or Volume Air Flow Circuit Malfunction – This code indicates a problem with the mass air flow (MAF) sensor or its circuit.
  • P0200: Injector Circuit Malfunction – This code signifies an issue with the fuel injector circuit, which could be due to wiring problems or a faulty injector.
  • P0300: Random/Multiple Cylinder Misfire Detected – This code means that multiple cylinders are misfiring in a random pattern, often due to ignition system issues.
  • P0400: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Flow Malfunction – This code is triggered when there is insufficient EGR flow detected by the engine control module (ECM).
  • P0500: Vehicle Speed Sensor Malfunction – This code indicates a problem with the vehicle speed sensor or its circuit, affecting speedometer readings and transmission shifting.
