P0A68 Lada Samara Diagnostic Trouble Code
P0A68 Lada Samara code definition:
P0A68 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic P-Powertrain Diagnostic Trouble Code for Lada Samara.
P0A68 Lada Samara is defined as Cylinder 3 Injector Circuit Malfunction. This code means the PCM (powertrain control module, also known as ECM or engine control) has detected a problem in the injector or its wiring, or in injector circuit for cylinder 3. The spark should have a light tan color. If the sensor probe comes with white and chalky parts, this means it has been lagging between switching phases, and should be replaced.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a P0A68 Lada Samara diagnostic trouble code may include:
- 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
- Faulty or damaged wiring
- Hesitation upon acceleration
- Engine surge
|
Possible Causes :
- Some aftermarket accessories and performance modifications
- A faulty oxygen sensor. This will set a code in itself, however, a faulty oxygen sensor does not automatically condemn the sensor. The code just means that the sensor signal was not within specifications. An air leak or any of the above will cause an erroneous signal. There is a multitude of O2 codes relating to O2 performance which gives a clue to the problematic area.
- Defective ECU strategies or components will prevent proper regeneration

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 :
Look at the plug wires to make sure they are not burnt or laying on the exhaust.
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.
Once located, visually inspect the connectors and wiring. Look for rubbing, scraping, bare wires, worn spots or melted plastic connectors.
