I have a lot of codes on my car checked by the check engine light about how much would it cost me in repairs to fix all of these codes?

P129D-Fuel pump power Control Module
P2534-fuel pump control module
P0480-Fan 1 control Circuit
P0691-Powertrain control module
P0700-Transmission control module
P013B-O2 sensor
P1101-PCM (MAF)

Hi,

Wow, you have a shopping cart filled with codes. The cost is hard for me to answer because of the things listed, there could be multiple fixes. Without the diagnostics to determine the cause of the code, it is a guessing game.

However, I still may be able to help (at least try). Let me know what the vehicle is doing. For example, is it overheating? Is the engine not starting? Basically, anything you can think of that will point me in a specific direction.

Let me know.

Yes, it overheats every time I drive in hot weather quickly and my acceleration is slow until I reach 20 miles per hour, but it drives.

Hi,

Once you hit 20 mph, does it run normally? Also, have you checked the coolant temperature level, and does it overheat if you are driving at highway speeds?

The code P0480 indicated low voltage to the cooling fan. Have you noticed if it runs when the engine starts getting hot?

The P0700 indicated there is a code stored in the transmission control module. This is a generic code and only indicates there is a code in the TCM.

The P103B is related to a heated o2 sensor and not directly with the PCM.

P1101 is the MAF.

And the list goes on. Here is the thing, everything except the cooling fan code would not be likely to cause it to overheat. So where do we start?

Since the MAF is part of this, first, service it to see if it helps.

Here is a link that explains how it's done:

Make sure to check the coolant level as well. Also, let me know if there are any odors or smoke from the exhaust and its color. Let me know if the cooling fan turns on when it gets hot.

Take care,

Joe

Yes, once I hit 20 miles per hour yes, it drives normally. Yes, once I start hitting highway speeds it starts to overheat and the coolant level rises dramatically fast. Yes, every time I’m driving I can feel the heat of the engine and just to add my speed and overheating only started when my radiator fan was replaced by a local shop, and they used a universal fan Not the original manufacturer fan.

Hi,

Based on that description, I need you to check a few things. It could be related to a head gasket issue. I still suggest servicing the MAF as mentioned.

Take a look through this link. Some of the things listed are visual inspections. See if any of them mirror what you experience.

Let me know.
