U0280 Diagnostic Trouble Code
U0280 is a kind of OBD-II Diagnostic U-Network Diagnostic Trouble Code.
It is considered generic because it applies to all makes and models of vehicles, although specific repair steps may be different depending on your car model.
Symptoms

- Fuel pressure too low
- Rich or lean exhaust
- Diminished fuel efficiency
- If the DPF is not cleared the ECU will revert to the "Limp Home Mode" until the situation is corrected
|
Possible Causes :
- A large air leak at or near the number one oxygen sensor would also cause a lean mixture.
- Faulty IMRC actuator relay (if equipped)
- Faulty IMRC actuator/sensor
|
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.
Look for missing ground strap or a rusty ground where the fuel tank is grounded to the frame. Check for damage to the wiring harness connector.
Look at the plug wires to make sure they are not burnt or laying on the exhaust.
Process Tips
