Was driving my 2013 TTS at normal speed this morning and the CEL came on.

My OBD code reader gave me the following codes

p2181
p3001
p3081

Car runs fine - what do you think is going on here? I looked up the codes and it sounds like a temperature related problem.

Its off to the dealer monday

Thanks for opinions in advance

 

Anyone??? Car ran fine today

 

Did they just pop up or was the car under stress, on throttle, deacc, etc...?

 

Its under warranty, let the dealer deal with it.

 

My car is at the dealer for this gremlin.

Replaced transmission coolant bypass valve, bled coolant, replaced thermostat, replaced coolant temp sensor, and now they identified a vacuum leak on back of the intake manifold. They feel this is the culprit. The car was just purchases as a CPO and they feel this probably was knocked loosed during the re-certification process. Never had the problem prior according to the previous owner.

Car ran fine always.

Should have it back this week.

 

At least it's not the dreaded p0021 cam sensor issue , my cheapy obd reader from Pep Boys $75 tells you what the actual codes are ,not just the code # & can reset them .

 

Vacuum hose replaced and fixed it, FYI.

 

My car is at the dealer today.

They replaced the thermostat, replaced coolant temp sensor, bled coolant, and one turbo line (Not sure which one).

Ill pick it up tomorrow. Said it runs fine now. Ill keep you posted

 

You have a link for that reader?

Rep points to you! Thanks for the tip.

 

Thus, the engine had a hard time warming up. Seems to be running fine after being replaced. Was checking out the new TTS cab. Sweet ride - but the sticker shock was crazy. $200K.

 

Here you go i got it from Pepboys reads actual codes & resets them ,plugs into OBD $75.00
