About Speed/Idle Codes

This page lists all 131 OBD-II diagnostic trouble codes classified under the Speed/Idle category. These codes are stored by your vehicle's onboard computer when a sensor detects a malfunction in the speed/idle system. Each code begins with a letter indicating the system (P for Powertrain, B for Body, C for Chassis, U for Network) followed by four digits that identify the specific fault.

When your check engine light comes on, an OBD-II scanner reads these stored codes to help pinpoint the problem. Generic codes (where the second digit is 0) follow the SAE J2012 standard and mean the same thing on every vehicle. Manufacturer-specific codes (where the second digit is 1) may have different meanings depending on the vehicle brand.

Click any code in the table above to see its full description, possible causes, common symptoms, and step-by-step repair guidance. Use the search box to quickly find a specific code within this category.
