There are two types of OBDII trouble codes
Type 1 codes are the more important because they can cause quick and severe damage, while Type 2 codes are less important but cannot be ignored.
I’ll start by discussing the most common Trouble codes in this group, along with the most common causes of those codes. If you’d like a full list of the codes in this group scroll to the bottom of this article.
The most common trouble codes in the P0200-P0299 category
1) P0220 – P0299 Throttle Position Sensor are common codes
The accelerator pedal and the electronic throttle body
double-check each other using multiple sensors. While one sensor rises, the other sensor falls by the same amount. If the sensors are not in sync, you can get these codes that indicate that the switch is out of range or that the switch is not working.
In some cases, all you have to do is replace the sensors, while in other cases, you have to replace the entire throttle body. But before replacing anything, check the electrical connectors for corrosion or damaged wires.
