What does P0856 Mean? The oxygen (02) sensors on your car measure the oxygen in the exhaust to determine how rich or lean the ratio of fuel and air are in the cylinders. Optimizing this mixture means better fuel economy and fewer exhaust emissions. When you see P0856 engine fault code on your engine code reader this description will help you. engine code P0856P0856 fixobd P0856dtc P0856obd code P0856obd2 P0856P0856 car codediagnostic code P0856car code P0856check engine code P0856fehlercode P0856P0856 fiatcodigo P0856codigo falla P0856P0856 kody b??dówcodigo de falla P0856 What are the common causes of P0856 ? By far the most common cause of this code is from a defective traction control ON/OFF switch. Liquids spilled into the traction control switch are a very common cause of this type of failure. Other causes may include open, shorted, corroded, or otherwise damaged wiring and/or electrical connectors. Technicians also report the presence of excessive corrosion in the sensor connector as the cause of this code being stored. How do you troubleshoot P0856 ? If the engine displays a miss and there wasn't a code, determine which cylinder is misfiring. If the exhaust manifold is visible, spay or pour a small amount of water on each cylinder exhaust port. Water will evaporate immediately on good cylinders and slowly on the missing cylinder. If this can't be accomplished pull the plugs and check the condition. 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. Now, clear the codes and test-drive the vehicle to see if the code is reset.
