P042C
Temperature Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2)P042C is a generic OBD-II powertrain diagnostic trouble code: Temperature Sensor Circuit Low (Bank 1 Sensor 2). It is logged by the engine control unit when the powertrain monitor detects that a specific fault threshold has been exceeded — typically resulting in the malfunction-indicator lamp (MIL / check-engine light) being illuminated.

Disabling P042C in software
RaceTune can permanently disable P042C — and any other OBD-II diagnostic trouble code — on every ECU family we support. The monitor is disabled inside the ECU itself, so the fault stops being logged: the warning light stays off and the engine never enters limp mode for this code. The change is tied to your exact software version.
Software modifications affect emissions compliance and are not road-legal in many jurisdictions. RaceTune service files are intended for motorsport, off-road, and export use.
