VW Code 04046

04046 Description And Summary :

This something to do with the intake camshaft timing throttle/pedal position sensor / switch 'd' / 'f', voltage correlation causes include a bad boost pressure sensor or a vacuum leak in the system secondary air injection system air flow/pressure sensor bank 1, circuit range / performance you can see the oxygen (lambda) sensor b3 s1, heater return coupling is the final reason of the code.

04046 Possible Causes:

04046 vw fault code may be caused by one or more of the following:

  • Fuel Rail/System Pressure - Too High
  • Fuel Composition Sensor Circuit Malfunction
  • Injection lump Fuel Metering Control 'B' High (Cam/Rotor/Injector)
  • Glow Plug/Heater Circuit 'A' Malfunction
  • Shift/Timing Solenoid Malfunction/ 3-2 Shift Solenoid Circuit Electrical
  • Ambient Air Temperature Sensor Circuit Low
  • Engine Shutoff Solenoid Malfunction

What To Check After Fixing 04046 Code

  • Inspect all the connections vacuum reservoir pressure sensor, circuit range / performance
  • Check the engine oil to ensure it's clean and the viscosity
  • Restart the vehicle and retest to see if the error returns
