Coode P0106

Well, I was trying to ask but machine they used had just passed passed passed separately on each thing. But night before last my car did same thing that it did weeks ago when P0106 came up. But no code came up last night except the one 0456. hmm?

What symptoms again?

Roy

Engine failure service now came on when I got in my car and engine was acting and sounding rough.. Turned car off turned it on thirty seconds later was fine. Next day check engine light came on for first time and only code came up this time was the 0456 which he said was cause I have no gas cap.

Okay, that is not the same symptoms. You said way back the light came on but it ran fine.

The 456 code is not the reason for this symptom.

I am beginning to think that it may have an injector issue. I would have them cleaned by a shop to be sure there is no dirt or debris in the system.

Roy

Yeah, was same symptom two nights ago when I got code P0106.. but didn't get same code this time. But O'Reillys said my battery is good but needs charging? You have to take a part and remove a bunch of stuff to remove battery..

Have injectors cleaned at a shop? Is that expensive? Should I have alternator voltage checked at O'Reilly's to see if that's why battery has trouble charging even though it comes up good and generally no starting problem?

No, the battery can be charged without removing it and it can be load tested as well.

That is not the issue.

Roy

Thanks Roy:). I am learning a lot. So if battery is good but needs charging it isn't an alternator issue or connection problem. Does battery suppose to charge though while driving? And could debris in injectors cause a one code of P0106 and still cause same issue without code again? Thanks again

Yes, dirty injectors could cause the 106.

You need a shop to do this service. It runs around 100.

Roy

Thank you so much I just need to find a mechanic. :)

You are welcome.

Roy

Today my car drives noisier and rough (daughter noticed too) when I am in park with brake on. when I take foot off and drive it is okay.related?

Yes.

Roy

Check engine light came on again today. Stopped at O'Reillys and code P0456..only code came up again. And now my car battery also went from good needs charging last Friday to today it says needs new battery. had car for month and a half or so.

I bought my vehicle five weeks ago. it showed 24.2 mpg. I had all new brakes rotors and pads put in and new air filter. Now it says 21.2mpg? Been steady at those numbers for awhile. Confused. Driving pretty much the same.

I would make sure that the air intake hose clamps are tight and the hose is attached to the filter box correctly. If possible also have the vehicle scanned for any trouble codes in the power train control module.

I had battery checked and had a code of 0456. And O'Reilley said it is because I had no gas cap. doesn't have one on these cars. And effects mpg. Battery tested good but needs charging though?

Hello,

If I could jump in here for a second, there is no Direct Trouble Code (DTC) P,B,C,or U (Power-train,Body,Chassis,Network) 0456 in the DTC list for your vehicle. Could you please double check the DTC number again and get to us with what you are able to find out. To reiterate BMDOUBLES answer, I would check to make sure the air filter housing is snaps shut and ensure that the proper air filter was used and is seated in the housing correctly. Please get back to us with what you are able to figure out.

Thanks,
Alex

Thank you. Good idea. Someone mentioned getting my injectors cleaned out. Which would maybe make sense to since I had a one time P0106. But didn't come on again with same symptom just a second time. The only code I got a second time from O'Reillys was 0456/ which he said was a lack of gas cap and air getting in there? First time a check engine light was on. Didn't come back.

Hello again,

Okay, again I am not seeing that DTC on the list. In the diagrams down below I have sent you the entire P-Power-train DTC list for your vehicle.

Thanks,
Alex

Hmm, they said it was code 0456.

The check engine light came on again today. Stopped at O'Reillys and came up code P0456. Likely cause it is missing a gas cap this guy said also. Should I buy one online for this car. But I thought older years had problem with code not these newer ones? Or could my gas tank be missing anything?

I have a 2015 escape SE 1.6 L

Stopped at store tonight and when I got back in my car and turned key it said "engine failure service now". I turned it off like last time and waited 30 seconds then turned key and no problem. But last time no code came up. Should it have??

Did they check the charging system as well?

Roy

The engine failure message happened later after I went to O'Reillys. They checked battery power. They dont have a voltmeter

Charging system?

Yes, the alternaotr. Its job is to keep the battery charged to the correct voltage.

Roy

He said the battery is bad and needs to be replaced.

Okay, there is a reason it failed. That is why I asked about the charging system.

Roy

How test for that and what exact charging system? Just a not so good batterer?

They have a tester at the store and check the voltage at the battery with the engine running. It is a free service and they should have done that.

Roy

They did. It said battery is bad. He said brand is not the greatest. I told him last Friday it said good but needed charging. I said my car starts. He recommended getting new battery in one to two weeks. But it is kind of buried so now other things in engine have to be moved. :(

Okay Roy, I took my car back to O'Reillys. And only code came up again is P0456. No code came up for the engine failure message last night. He thinks my car is too new for gas cap reason. Should I be worried? Oh and everything else passed under hood in relation to battery, except battery. he said it averaged on alternator at 1432?

Okay, replace the battery and see if the engine runs any better.

Roy

What about not getting code for engine failure message except, first time. Could that be related somehow to code P0456 like sensor confusion? :)
Thanks again, Roy

No, as I stated a couple of times, that code has no effect on the running.

Did you get the injectors cleaned yet?

Roy

Not yet. I have to call around and find a mechanic and compare prices and figure out times.

Keep me updated.

Roy

Thanks. I will be making those calls tomorrow. Is it true your battery can die while driving? Also second time after I get gas my car shuts off only time. But then it starts right up.
