- P008E — Fuel Cooler Pump Control Circuit High (P008E): a powertrain (engine/transmission) fault affecting the sensor and actuator circuits. The car is usually drivable while you plan the repair. Most often caused by poor ground connection, control module driver fault, blown fuse feeding the circuit.
- P008F — OBD2 code P008F flags a problem with the engine cooling and temperature control (engine coolant temperature/fuel temperature correlation). Short, gentle driving to a shop is usually possible. Common culprits: thermostat stuck open or closed, wiring faults in the sensor circuit, failed cooling fan or fan relay.
- P0090 — OBD2 code P0090 flags a problem with the fuel delivery and mixture control (fuel pressure regulator 1 control circuit). Short, gentle driving to a shop is usually possible. Common culprits: faulty fuel pressure regulator, faulty fuel rail pressure sensor or wiring, contaminated or incorrect fuel.
