Car throwing codes.
 
Hello, i have a 2017 limited brz manual. It has a edelbrock supercharger installed with a custom dyno tune. It had bad fuel trims which turned out to be a bad actuator. I replaced the actuator from edlebrock and the logs seem to be good. Today i was driving home and the car was sputtering a bit on acceleration from 2-3500 rpm then i got a check engine light and a traction control light and threw 3 codes.
1: P000B
2: C1201
3: B14A1
the car seems to drive perfectly when the lights come on from the codes but it cant be good. Any one know what the problem would be. Any information is greatly appreciated thanks!

Hi Sask and welcome to our forum - :clap:

You have looked up these codes - right? -:)

The first thing I would do is to disconnect the battery (erase the codes) and see if any of them come back. Maybe your car just hicc-uped.

If they come back you may wish to take the car back to your tuner or to a dealer.

The B14A1 code is unusual - do you have one of those sun things on that car - :iono:

The actual first thing to do is NOT erase the code and READ freeze frame data.

Also, knowing what codes mean is more important than clearing them to see if they come back.

P000B is a camshaft slow response code. C1201 means the abs control unit is disabling traction and stability control because there is an issue with the engine management. B14A1 is normal, you've got the auto A/C and the sun load sensor throws that code all the time when the HVAC control unit tests the sensor in the shade.

So your main focus is P000B.
