P1620 code is a thermostat error. it's a picky sensor, and unless you notice anything wrong (like a rough idle, or problems with the operating temperature) I'd ignore it. If you are having issues you may need to replace the MAF sensor located in the thermostat on top of the engine

How do I fix code 13 engine speed sensor Above 1000 rpm

Clearing the codes is simple that is done by removing the fuse of the EFI from junction box 2 for 10 seconds. Make sure to remove the jumper wire and switch the key off before clearing the codes.

Here are some common Lexus vehicles 1990-1995 codes:

Code 12 and Code 13 Rpm signal circuit fault
Code 14 Igniter signal circuit fault
Code 16 ECT control signal fault
Code 21 and Code 28 Main oxygen sensor fault (for ES300; SC300 & GS300 models)
Code 22 Coolant temperature circuit fault
Code 24 Intake temperature sensor circuit fault
Code 25 and Code 26 Air fuel ratio fault (for ES300 & SC300 models)
Code 27 Sub-oxygen sensor circuit fault (for ES300 CA & GS300 models)
Code 31 Low airflow meter voltage (for ES300 and GS300 models)
Code 32 High airflow meter voltage (for ES300 model)
Code 35 Barometric pressure sensor circuit fault (for GS300 & SC300 models)
Code 41 and Code 47 Throttle position sensor circuit fault
Code 42 Vehicle speed sensor circuit fault
Code 43 Starter signal
Code 51 Switch condition signal fault (for ES300; GS300 & SC300 models)
Code 52 Code 52 and Code 55 Knock sensor circuit fault
Code 71 EGR system circuit fault (for ES300; GS300 & SC300 models)
Code 78 Fuel pump control circuit fault (for GS300 & SC300 models)

I have a 2001 saturn sl1 and my check engine light came on today, and when I took it to get read it came up with the following codes.. P1620, p1599, p0442, and p0341. I tried replacing the gas tank cap (it...

Having codes read is a waste of time, if you don't understand
or work on vehicles

You need a shop to properly diagnose it,you know that

Any codes can be Googled to look them up

Type: OBD & the code

Codes have little to do with replacing parts

No parts get replaced until they are tested & fail a test

Truck will be running fine, then all of a sudden it will completely shut off. After we wait a few minutes and pump the clutch and make sure it is all the way to the floor it will start, sometimes. S

You need the engine computer scanned for fault codes, i thank you have an ignition control problem like a module or distributor pickup coil issue. These parts whenthey fail should leave fault cdes so get them read.
Next, the check engine light will pause shortly followed by the second digit of the trouble code. For example if the check engine light blinks once and pauses followed by six blinks the trouble code number would be 16. If no code is present the check engine light will stay one constantly. To restart code gathering turn the ignition key to the "off" position, wait three minutes and turn the ignition key back "on" again without starting the engine. Remove the jumper wire once code gathering is complete. To clear code after the repairs have been made remove the negative battery cable for one minute and reconnect.

Trouble Codes

1. VW VAG type 5 digit fault code 19497 = EOBD type P3041 fault code:
Fault location = CAN data bus, instrumentation - implausible Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) signal
Probable cause = Wiring, matching resistor in Engine Control Module (ECM)

2. VW VAG type 5 digit fault code 18032 = EOBD type P1624 fault code:
Fault location = Malfunction Indicator Lamp (MIL) - request signal active
Probable cause = Trouble code(s) stored in other system(s)

3. VW VAG type 5 digit fault code 01039:
Fault location = Coolant Temperature Sensor (G2)
Probable cause = Open or Short to Plus, Short to Ground - Intermittent

4. VW VAG type 5 digit fault code 01304:
Fault location = Radio
Probable cause = No Communication

5. EOBD type P0761 fault code:

My car wont start my mechanic put it on machine the codes were P0133 P0341 P1599 P1620 he said i need a computer

ok now for starters, we will go with the most probable:P0341 crank position sensor. chances are it needs to be replaced. 2nd your check engine light has probably been on for a while right?! the P0133 is an o2 sensor code and would probably be good maintenance(but get it to run first. 3rd P1599 refers to it stalling out which if it died while running would most likely trigger this. and last but not least either your coolant level switch is faulty or you really do have low coolant. let me know.
