This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
Your car has a part that controls how much fuel goes to the engine, and it's not getting enough power to work properly.
The P10C2 code indicates that the circuit controlling the fuel volume regulator safety relay is experiencing low voltage.
This code is set when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects a low voltage condition in the circuit that controls the fuel volume regulator safety relay. This relay is crucial for managing the fuel supply to the engine, ensuring it operates safely and efficiently.
• Engine may not start
• Reduced engine performance
• Check engine light is on
• Faulty fuel volume regulator relay
• Wiring issues such as shorts or open circuits
• Defective ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module
Relay: An electrically operated switch
• Use a diagnostic scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors related to the fuel volume regulator relay.
• Test the fuel volume regulator relay for proper operation.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Replace the faulty fuel volume regulator relay.
• If necessary, replace or reprogram the ECM.
• OBD-II scanner
• Multimeter
• Relay tester

Electrical Circuit Issue
• Do not ignore the check engine light.
• Have your vehicle inspected by a professional if you notice performance issues.
• Regular maintenance can prevent such issues.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer for warranty coverage on electrical components.
This code is less common and typically associated with specific vehicle models known for electrical issues.
Moderate – Addressing this issue promptly can prevent further engine performance problems.
Ignoring this code may lead to decreased vehicle performance and potential safety risks.
• Engine running
• Vehicle in a safe location
The fuel volume regulator relay is typically located in the engine bay, near the fuel system components.
Q: What happens if I ignore this code?
A: Ignoring this code can lead to poor engine performance and potential safety issues.
Q: Can I drive my car with this code?
A: It's not recommended to drive with this code active, as it may affect engine performance.
