What do you think these codes mean?

I used the on-off method to check the codes and it worked great! Thanks for that, but the codes were 0203, 0201, 0204, 0205, 0206, 0207, 0208 and 0121. What could be the cause for all of these codes? Is my fuel injection shot or may it just be a simple fix? Any advice would be most appreciated.

Does anyone know anything about brake system codes? I have a 2002 Durango with 4 wheel ABS. The Brake Warning light on the dash is on (Not ABS light) and the local shop pulled code 78. Bled all four corners, but the light is still on. Fluid levels have never dropped, not an e-brake issue.

did you try to reset the light to see if it came back on after they were blead... by the way what the hell is code 78... p0078...? i didnt see it on the front page but try to reset the light and see if it comes back on heres the process

To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.

ABS codes 2 number codes that can only be read with special scanner. They are not the same as engine codes.

From what I've found

78 – Foundation Brake

Causes;
1. Red brake lamp short to ground
2. Pressure switch in proportioning valve out of position or faulty
3. Faulty CAB

P0172 Fuel system 1/1 rich...is it possible to get this from stalling my truck? Stalled it trying to take off in 2nd leaving work today...er tonight, and got that code right after (I think, might have came up while it was warming up I didn't notice til after I stalled). Is it possible to get it just from stalling or do I have other problems? The only known problem to me is that fuel pressure in the lines is lost over night, not sure if that would have anything to do with this. Pretty sure that is from the part on the fuel pump(can't think of the name).

Also, the O2 sensors and cats are the stock ones (95k on it), so it could be related to those. That would give me reason to get rid of the cats too :D

you could clear the code and if it comes back on then you know you have a problem if not then it was probly due to the stall... and y not go on and cut out the cats and throw in some magnaflow highflows in there in their place

That's what I was thinking, but I know some codes don't come back right away. And my car needs go fast money spent on it much more than the truck does, although if the cats are clogged it would be getting new exhaust from the manifolds to the exhaust to delete all 3 of those sons of bitches.

lol i wasnt saying highflows to make it go fast lol i was saying it to make it flow better but you could still keep your o2s sence you mentioned taking them out... but even if the code does take a lil to come back on then you know you have a problem... i always clear mine atleast 1 time and see if they come back so i know its real i kick p0430 but its there 1min and gone the next so i think its just a wire cuz i just replaced the ypipe with cats last year along with all the o2s... nice firebird by the way you sould put some WS6 rims painted black and a WS6 hood on there

I know they aren't go fast parts, but if they aren't bad it's a waste to me. I would probably just put a pipe in place of the cats and tape off the rear O2 sensors, seems like a lot of people have done that.

Ick, not a fan of the WS6 hood. It's going to be lowered with some Konis and deep dish black C5 replica 18's with a machined lip. Exact copy of this car is what I'm going for, might add a Raptor hood (slightly more aggressive Firehawk hood) sometime if I keep the car long enough.

You wouldnt happen to know what code P0031 is?

2000 and newer Dakotas and Durangos have a built-in system that can display check engine light (CEL) codes without the use of a scanner. 1999 and earlier Dakotas/Durangos must be read with a scanner, check your local dealership or auto parts store for assistance.

To check your engine codes:
Turn the key to ON (not start), OFF, ON, OFF, ON and leave it there. If you look in the odometer window the codes will flash any code(s) with a small delay between each result. Each code should be in a P#### format, and will say PDONE when completed - turn your key to OFF and remove. Use the OBD code list to determine what problem the computer detected.

To reset your engine codes:
Remove the negative terminal of your battery (10mm wrench).
Turn your ignition key to START and hold it there for about 15 seconds.
Turn your ignition key to OFF and remove it.
Connect the negative terminal of your battery.
