B105B Lotus Europa Diagnostic Trouble Code
B105B Lotus Europa code definition:
B105B is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic B-Body Diagnostic Trouble Code for Lotus Europa.
B105B Lotus Europa is described as Fuel System Too Rich, which basically means bank 1's oxygen sensor has detected a rich condition of fuel. This means there's not enough oxygen in the exhaust from too much fuel being delivered into the air and gas mixture for combusion. The PCM then uses this data to provide the right strategies for the fuel delivery and ignition timing of the engine.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a B105B Lotus Europa 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
- Diminished fuel efficiency
|
Possible Causes :
- The Mass Airflow sensor is a hot wire that senses the volume of air entering the intake manifold. The computer uses this information to control fuel mixture.
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration
- 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
- TP Sensor Learn Not Complete Problem
- Low Coolant Circuit Problem
- Cruise Control System - Vehicle Accel Too High Problem
- TFP Valve Position Switch-Drive Without Drive Ratio Problem
- Problem
Repair Processes :
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.
It should be pretty close to battery voltage (12 volts). If not, then this is the circuit that has the problem.
