Hey all,
I just recently got my Cobra out of storage (was sitting about a year). I cleared the codes, and drove for a while to get the CEL back and it threw me a few codes.

P1443 - I know, from reading, I need to replace the Purge Flow Sensor
P1151 - I know is probably just an O2 sensor

and the weird one,

B1BF5 - what is this?!

I've looked all over the internet and I can not find it to save my life. My tags expire this month and I will need to get it inspected, and if this code is throwing my CEL, I'm done... Any help would be appreciated.

A little info, I have a 96 Cobra, 127k miles, and I use a SCT reader.
 
Your B1BF5 trouble code does not appear to be consistent with the coding system/nomenclature of OBDII codes (at least as far as I know??). Can you double check that code again to make sure it's not a typo? :shrug:

After the first letter of a trouble code, the rest of the code should be a series of four or five numbers - at least that is how I thought the trouble coding system was designed.

I had saved a document in the past that listed how the OBDII trouble coding system works - the codes that begin with "B" represents a body trouble code, "P" codes = powertrain,
"C" = chassis, and "U" = undefined.

It seems like the most common trouble codes are powertrain related and the "P" codes are the ones most people ask about. Since your trouble code begins with the letter "B," it represents some type of body code...

Did you scan the codes yourself? Maybe you could take your car up to an auto parts store (Auto Zone?) and they could re-scan your car's computer. Then they could tell you exactly
what that specific "B" trouble code stands for... :shrug:

G'luck and let us know what that trouble code stands for it you find out. :cheers:
