Default How to Decipher Codes??????

I pulled my codes but how can I tell what they mean? All are history codes though, they are:

B2721
B2282
B2283
B2284
P1631
U1016
U1064

Appreciate any help!

Google them. If they're all historic you probably had a blip in the electrical system. I'd Google that P code first as it's a power train code. The B are BCM codes. I think U is bus/comm stuff.

Might want to go through the code clearing process, drive for a few days, and then check again. Sometimes they reappear, sometimes not.

This basically means the PCM is not seeing the right "password" from the BCM (through the ignition key) to enable the start signal to allow the fuel pump to run to make the car start...also the theft deterrent relay will energize and allow the starter to operate...is this what you are asking ???

No, I was asking why gman was disputing the title of the code.

You wrote it's a power train code but it's not, that's all.

P codes are power train codes. Or maybe they called them PCM codes before they went to separate ECM/TCM. Either way it's the Pcm that threw the code.
