P00BB - OBD Trouble Code
OBD Code P00BB - Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow - Forced Limited Power
<<See
All OBD Codes
A direct impact on the fuel delivery system can cause immediate loss of power form the engine due to multiple reasons of malfunction and directly impacting the amount of fuel entering the engine for combustion. Any mismatch in the fuel to air ration will directly result in
loss of power form the engine and record P00BB error code in the PCM after detection of the problem.
OBD-II Code
Decreased engine performance is defined as a Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow -
Forced Limited Power.
Learn More About OBD Code P00BB Error
The P00BB code specifies the problem related to the fuel injection system which when is not able to inject the right about of fuel to the engine, is sensed by the PCM, which in turn flashes this OBD code. Forced limited power is usually a sort of mode that the vehicle enters when it needs to control certain values to prevent the operator from further damaging the engine. Fuel, also has to go through numerous filters, pumps, injectors, lines, connections etc. to finally be delivered to the engine, so as you can imagine, there are a lot of possibilities here. Even small fuel leaks usually provide you with a smell strong enough to notice so keep that in mind.
What causes problem with the fuel delivery system?
- Increased levels of ethanol content
in the fuel tank
- Weakened low-pressure fuel pump
- Fuel filter is restricted
- Fuel supply line restricted
- Fuel
pump is damaged or worn out
Replace/Repair These Parts To Fix OBD Code P00BB
- Fuel Line Assembly - A bad fuel line can cause engine
stalling and hard starting. It can also cause engine misfires, decrease in
power as well as leakages. Thus, we suggest an immediate change if necessary.
- Fuel Line Kits - A fuel line is a hose used to bring
fuel from one point in a vehicle to another or from a storage tank to a
vehicle. It is commonly made of reinforced rubber to prevent splitting and
kinking. However, a leaky or damaged fuel line can have direct impact on the
fuel delivery system, putting pressure on other components and thus decreasing
the engine power. Replace damaged fuel lines today!
- Fuel Gaskets - A worn out gasket can be leaky and
thus deplete duels and coolants hampering the engine performance. Replace
damaged fuel gaskets now!
- Engine Control
Module -
OBD Error Code P00BB can also be due to faulty ECMs. This may lead to engine
stalling or not starting, and check engine lights being on. It’s better to get
the faulty electricals replaced as soon as possible.
- Diagnostic Tool - Choose from our wide
variety of diagnostic tools to detect and correct the OBD code error.
- Auto Switches &
Sensors - Common causes behind
that P00BB error code can be defective switches or faulty sensors. So, it will
be a good decision to replace them now.
- Powertrain Control
Module -
P00BB error code also relates to problems with the powertrain. Find all the
Powertrain related parts with us.
- Fuel Pump & Parts - A fuel pump is a frequently (but not
always) essential component on a car or other internal combustion engine
device. Many engines (older motorcycle engines in particular) do not require
any fuel pump at all, requiring only gravity to feed fuel from the fuel tank or
under high pressure to the fuel injection system. Visit Parts Avatar today to
replace damaged and faulty fuel pumps and other related parts.
- Fuel Injection - The fuel injection system lies at the
very heart of the diesel engine. By pressurising and injecting the fuel, the
system forces it into air that has been compressed to high pressure in the
combustion chamber. The diesel fuel injection system consists of: fuel
injection pump - pressurised fuel to high pressure. Replace faulty fuel
injectors and parts today.
- Fuel Filters - A fuel
filter is a filter in the fuel line that screens out
dirt particles from the fuel, normally made into cartridges containing
a filter paper. They are found in most internal combustion
engines. Fuel filters serve a vital function in today's
modern, tight-tolerance engine fuel systems. Replace old and clogged fuel
filters now!
Symptoms Of OBD Error Code P00BB
Some of the common symptoms
that can indicate the problem in relation to fuel delivery system flashing the
OBD Code P00BB are as follows;
Common

How To Correct P00BB Fuel Injector Insufficient Flow - Forced Limited Power
At Parts Avatar Canada, find quality replacement and performance parts that are needed to correct the problem related to code P00BB.
Some of the key components that can be replaced
if found problematic are as follows.
- Fuel Pump
- Fuel Filter
- Powertrain Control Module
- Fuel Injection System
- Damaged wirings
Easy Diagnosis Of Engine Error OBD Code P00BB
- Check for any leaks and
address them immediately. This causes lower than desired fuel pressures in any
closed system. Rusted lines, fuel filter gaskets, deteriorated O-rings, etc.
all cause fuel leaks.
- Next, examine the low
fuel pressure system's filter which may be located on the frame rail or close
to the fuel tank. Make sure you follow proper bleeding and filter replacement
procedures as introducing air into a diesel fuel system can be a tricky problem
to rectify. Refer to service manual for specifications and procedures.
- Locate your fuel injector and make sure to ensure no fittings or connectors are leaking fuel. Also, around the injector itself (O-ring) is a common leak. Visually inspect for any signs of physical damage or for that matter anything that would cause fuel flow to be reduced (i.e. kinked line at injector). Particles within the fuel is a real possibility given the openings being so small. Ensure proper fuel system maintenance (e.g. fuel filters, EVAP, etc.)
Common Mistakes When Diagnosing The P00BB Code
Most of the time we tend
to diagnose the problem without completely identifying the real cause of it. It
is important to follow all the diagnostic steps and examine each component
carefully before correcting. Some of the components to be focused on are listed
below;
- Clogged fuel filter
- Fuel pressure regulator
failure
- Fuel pump failure
- Leaking fuel lines
- Powertrain Control
Module (PCM) failure
- Wiring/harness issue
