This summary uses the existing diagnostic information shown in full below.
This code means that the car's computer has found a problem with how the fuel is being controlled. It's like when a faucet doesn't let out the right amount of water, but for fuel in your car.
The engine control module (ECM) has detected an issue with the performance of the fuel volume regulator B control circuit.
The P2371 code indicates that the ECM has identified a performance issue within the control circuit of the fuel volume regulator B. This component is responsible for managing the amount of fuel that is delivered to the engine, ensuring optimal performance and efficiency.
• Check Engine Light is on
• Poor fuel economy
• Engine performance issues
• Faulty fuel volume regulator
• Wiring issues in the control circuit
• Malfunctioning ECM
ECM: Engine Control Module
Fuel Volume Regulator: A component that controls the amount of fuel delivered to the engine.
• Use an OBD-II scanner to confirm the code.
• Inspect the wiring and connectors for damage.
• Test the fuel volume regulator for proper operation.
• Replace the faulty fuel volume regulator.
• Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
• Reprogram or replace the ECM if necessary.
• OBD-II scanner

Engine Performance
• Avoid driving long distances until the issue is resolved.
• Consult with a professional mechanic for accurate diagnosis.
Check with your vehicle's manufacturer for specific warranty coverage related to fuel system components.
This code has been associated with fuel delivery issues in vehicles with advanced fuel management systems.
Moderate – It should be addressed soon to avoid further engine performance issues.
Driving with a malfunctioning fuel system can lead to increased emissions and potential safety hazards.
• Engine running
• Vehicle at operating temperature
The fuel volume regulator is typically located near the fuel rail or within the fuel tank assembly.
Q: Can I drive with a P2371 code?
A: It's not recommended to drive for long periods with this code, as it can affect engine performance and fuel efficiency.
Q: What happens if I ignore the P2371 code?
A: Ignoring this code can lead to poor engine performance, reduced fuel economy, and potential damage to the fuel system.
