Error codes for Vauxhall Insignia

Vauxhall was established in 1897 in Luton, and it was established in response to the high demand for cars that were manufactured by Henry Ford. The company’s first product was the 2-liter 40 horsepower, and it was built with a revolutionary chassis design.

The vehicle had a top speed of 34 mph which made it one of the fastest cars available at that time. Vauxhall also offered other models such as the 1885 3-liter 4-cylinder engine model and the 5-liter 45 horsepower model. Vauxhall continues to offer various models today such as the Antara, Mokka, Insignia, Meriva and many others.

However, sometimes when you use that, you can get a warning displaying an error code. What does it mean then?

3

The error code 3 that you received on the dashboard in your Vauxhall Insignia indicates that there is a problem with your engine’s cooling system and that there is a leak that may be a result of something that has slipped out of the EGR valve.

Vauxhall has released a TSB that addresses this known issue for some time. If you get this message, you will need to change the radiator cap, but a TSB repair kit will enable you to do a much more cost-effective replacement. If you are getting the Cooler 3 error message, take your car to your local garage as soon as you can, as the system is already fully charged and pumped full of coolant. If it is, it isn’t causing any problems.

16

If error message 16 is displayed on the dashboard of the Vauxhall Insignia, it means that the airbag is not working properly. For the quickest and safe solution to a problem you must consult a respected service provider.

24

It is possible to get an error code 24 by looking at the vehicle speed sensor, and it is indicated as ‘No Signal’ received. The indicator lamp is usually on when a fault with the engine is detected and will stay on for some time.  The ECU switches to emergency mode when there is a fault with the engine and may cause the vehicle to be towed to a workshop for repairs. You will have to try turning the ignition on and off 25 times or taking a short break to remove the battery.

P2458

Error code P2458 is output by the engine control unit. Diesel particulates filter, the number of times that the DPF is regenerated is very large. Various possibilities lie behind this message. It may be that the software of an engine controlling unit has a weakness, or it may be that a regenerated DPF does not perform as it should.

The manufacturer of the vehicles has identified the problem and informed the owners of all the vehicles. It is possible that not all vehicles have been serviced or that some parts have been removed. It is then possible to carry out a service to update the software on the motor control unit.
