OBD II Fault Code

• OBD II P2601

OBD-II Code Powertrain Control Module (PCM) failure is defined as a Coolant Pump "A" Control Circuit Range/Performance

The Oxygen Sensor (or Air/Fuel Ratio Sensor) tells the engine control module how much oxygen is in the exhaust stream between the engine and the Catalytic Converter. The Oxygen Sensor's signal is supposed to fluctuate a minimum of 10 times per second within a specified range. If the engine control module (PCM) determines that the Oxygen Sensor is not fluctuating throughout the normal range, the PCM will set code P2195.
