B0202 Graham Streak Diagnostic Trouble Code
B0202 Graham Streak code definition:
B0202 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic B-Body Diagnostic Trouble Code for Graham Streak.
B0202 Graham Streak is described as Intake Air Temperature (IAT) Circuit Malfunction. It's actually a general trouble code for a problem on IAT electrical circuit sensor, as it sends incorrect voltage input signals to the PCM. Other serious codes may cause this code to pop up, and they may come with dangerous drivability issues that may expose you to safety risks and cause damage to the engine in the long run.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a B0202 Graham Streak diagnostic trouble code may include:
- Faulty or damaged wiring
- The engine oil will exhibit dilution from the ECUs attempts to increase engine temperature. Some vehicles advance the fuel injection timing slightly after top center to afterburn a small amount of fuel to increase exhaust temperatures. Some of this fuel enters the crankcase. When the ECU determines the necessity to regenerate the DPF, the service life of the oil be shortened significantly
- Poor fuel economy
- Rich or lean exhaust
|
Possible Causes :
- Faulty IMRC actuator relay (if equipped)
- A large air leak at or near the number one oxygen sensor would also cause a lean mixture.
- A large vacuum leak would cause a massive amount of un-metered air to enter the intake manifold resulting in an overly lean mixture.

Common Misdiagnoses
- IC Circuit High Voltage Problem
- Control Module Throttle Actuator Position Performance Problem
- Air Conditioning (A/C) Clutch Feedback Circuit High Voltage Problem
- Cruise Vehicle Speed/Set Speed Difference Too High Problem
- PCM Stack Overrun Problem
Repair Processes :
If all testing has passed so far yet you still have the same code, check your scan tool and see if it can open and close the IMRC valve.
With the valve disconnected, the red voltmeter lead should be attached to the IMRC valve power wire and the black voltmeter lead connected to ground.
Process Tips
Diagnostic trouble code B0202 Graham Streak is not difficult to diagnose and repair. Thus, it always pays to have a qualified technician to look after your vehicle should this error code arise.
Diagnosing this code requires the engine to be in good running shape, without unmetered air entering the engine. If other codes that relates to misfiring condition, lean running or air entering the engine is present, then you must first fix those error codes before B0202 Graham Streak.
Fortunately, B0202 Graham Streak is a fairly common OBD code, meaning that it applies to all makes and models of vehicles made after 1996.
