DTC Code P3087 – What does this code mean?

Severity:
critical
<p>The DTC code P3087 indicates an issue with the supply relay for engine components, which may affect the power delivery to various engine systems.</p>

Symptoms for DTC Code P3087

<ul> <li><b>Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)</b>: The illumination of the engine light indicates a detected issue with the supply relay for engine components. This could be due to a malfunctioning relay, poor electrical connections, or a fault in the engine control module (ECM).</li> <li><b>Engine Performance Issues</b>: The vehicle may experience reduced power, stalling, or difficulty starting. These symptoms are linked to the supply relay failing to provide consistent power to essential engine components.</li> <li><b>Electrical Malfunctions</b>: Other electrical components related to the engine may exhibit erratic behavior or fail to operate. This is often caused by intermittent or complete failure of the supply relay.</li> </ul>
