U3481 Lancia Astura OBD Code

OBD/2 U3481 error code description and symptoms.

Mass Air Flow (MAF) Sensor Intermittent The MAF sensor circuit is monitored by the PCM for sudden voltage (or air flow) input change through the comprehensive component monitor (CCM). If during the last 40 warm-up cycles in key ON engine running the PCM detects a voltage (or air flow) change beyond the minimum or maximum calibrated limit, a continuous memory diagnostic trouble code (DTC) is stored.

Circuit High Input codes like U3481 are mostly caused by defective alternators that develop excessive voltages, although there may be other causes as well, such as short circuits that 'leak' current into a particular system from other, unrelated systems that work on higher voltages. Note that in the case of short circuits that leak power into a control circuit, there is likely to be other, seemingly unrelated trouble codes present along with the code(s) being investigated. Diagnosing a 'high input' code will always involve a thorough testing of the charging system as a first step, followed by measures to isolate the system from all other possible sources of power during resistance, continuity, and reference voltage tests.

U3481 Lancia Astura Error Code Repair Process :

When you turn on the ignition, the Service Engine Soon or Check Engine U3481 light should flash briefly, indicating that the OBD system is ready to scan your vehicle for any malfunctions. After this brief flash, the light should stay off while you drive as long as no problems are detected. If a/c clutch circuit fault so, you'll be glad to know that your vehicle is equipped with an early warning system that could save you time, money, and fuel in addition to helping protect the a/c clutch circuit fault.

Common Causes of Lancia Astura U3481 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code U3481 is the failure of A/C Clutch Circuit Fault, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Damaged VCT phaser
Damaged camshaft position (CMP) sensor
Variable Camshaft Timing (VCT) position circuit is open or shorted

U3481 is a kind of Network Trouble Code

U-code indicates that engine communication errors and shows lost communication with engine parts.U-Codes are fairly straight forward, given all of the articles and technical publications that have been written regarding these problematic codes. In most cases, it just comes down to identifying the module that isn't communicating with the other modules on the CAN bus line for whatever reason.
