P0543 OBD-II: Intake Air Heater "A" Circuit Open
P0543 Severity
Will P0543 go away on its own?
Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.
For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.
Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.
What causes OBD-II fault code P0543?
The Intake Air Heater warms the air going into the engine on cold startups. If the engine control module (PCM) detects a failure in the Intake Air Heater or its wiring, it will set code P0543.
