Now, next thing you need to inspect for any damage are the spark plugs. Make sure they are all fine and without any damage. Also diagnose the engine gaskets for any potential damage as they are the ones responsible for ensuring the correct gas exchange within the engine.

In order to produce more results you can conduct a visual inspection of all the related parts mentioned above. You can also make use of the digital voltage scope to monitor the sensor signals for a better diagnosis. Also to undergo a complete diagnosis of this error code, you will need few tools such as diagnostic scanner, a digital volt/ohmmeter, and a reliable vehicle information source. While diagnosing make sure that you carefully check the generator phase A, V current.
