1991 Code Question

[jim_houston]

Hi,<BR>Can anyone tell me what the following codes mean when from my 1991 Reatta:<BR>no E<BR>6132H<BR>6552H<BR>no r<BR>ec? (this may also be) Ec2<BR>Any help on this would be greatly appreciated, thanks a million.<BR>Jim Houston<BR>Charleston, SC

The "6132H" code is actually b132h. The b denotes it as a BCM code, the h means it is a history code which not actually in fault when the codes are being read. The 132 shows an oil pressure sensor fault. Oil pressure sensor failure is common on these cars.<BR> The b552h is a BCM memory fault which is set every time the battery is disconnected or the system voltage drops below 5 volts. It is not usually an actual problem and is simply cleared after proper battery voltage is restored.

Thanks Bob. Everything you said makes sense. My starter went out about 3 months ago. I had the dealer replace it and I got the lifetime warranty on it. Last Sunday, my car wouldn't start. I called the dealer, they sent a tow truck to pick me up, but as the tow truck was on its way to me, I kept trying to start my Reatta. I would turn the key, my digital dash would light up, but nothing from the starter. After about 4 attempts, I guess I drained the battery to below 5V which would explain that code. The other code is right on the money. My oil pressure guage does need to be replaced, it's showing my pressure is all over the place. That happened right after I had my last oil change. I took the car back to Jiffy Lube, and they diagnosed it right then as a bad pressure sensor, so I do need to get that fixed.<BR>By the way, the car started on its own after about 20 minutes of trying, waiting, and trying to start it again. The dealer wouldn't do anything because my car started all ten times they tried right in front of me. I asked them to look at the codes, and those were the codes that came up.<BR>Thanks again, I appreciate your response.<BR>My best,<BR>Jim Houston

Jim<BR>How are things in "Flower Town"? It's good to know that there is a Reatta owner in Summerville. Used to live in Walterboro many years ago. Get to Charleston area on business a few times a year. Take care and I trust that you are "getting off to a good start these days".<BR>Steve

I love Charleston, SC! It's a really great place with beautiful weather; much better weather than Maryland, which really isn't all that bad either. Everything is in bloom here now and has been for awhile. My 91 Reatta is running great, the only thing I need to tend to on the car right now is my oil pressure sensor, and I also think I need to change out my oil pan gasket and valve cover gaskets. I'm seeing a *little* oil on my garage floor. I just put a peice of cardboard on the floor to catch the drips until I get those small problems corrected, but I LOVE MY CAR.<BR>Jim Houston
