U0272 Holden Rb Diagnostic Trouble Code
U0272 Holden Rb code definition:
U0272 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic U-Network Diagnostic Trouble Code for Holden Rb.
U0272 Holden Rb is triggered when the bank 1 camshaft position sensor doesn't match the signal from the crankshaft position sensor. This is because the barometric pressure sensor is part of the MAF sensor. Sometimes, the MAF's sensing wire can accumulate and get covered with dirt, dust and/or oil residue, which can also lead to the error code.
Symptoms
Symptoms of a U0272 Holden Rb 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
- Crankshaft Position Sensor Circuit Performance Problem
- TP Sensor Learn Not Complete Problem
- Low Coolant Circuit Problem
- Cruise Control System - Vehicle Accel Too High Problem
- Kick-Down Switch Failed Short Problem
Repair Processes :
Oxygen sensors signal the engine management computer the amount of oxygen present in the exhaust, which is used in determining and controlling the fuel ratio. 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.
Use the DVOM to test resistance and continuity on all system circuits if actuator and sensor resistance levels are in compliance with manufacturer's specifications.
Process Tips
