P0149

Fuel Timing Error

DTC P0149, sometimes indicated as P014900 is an OBD diagnostic trouble code indicating a generic fault with the vehicle powertrain (i.e. engine and gearbox). This code identifies an error with the air/fuel mixture causing fuel timing error.

The fuel timing error is a code that is set when the engine's computer cannot properly determine the correct timing of the fuel injection. This can be caused by a number of factors, including a defective sensor or a misfiring cylinder.
There are a few things that can be done to try and fix this code. First, make sure that all of the sensors are properly connected and that there is no debris or buildup on them that could be affecting their readings. If the code persists, try cleaning the MAF sensor and the throttle body. If that doesn't work, then the problem may be a misfiring cylinder, which can be diagnosed and fixed with the help of a mechanic.
