Bongo Fury

Hi all,

I have an error code 38, found that error in 2019…as the bongo running fine except that sometimes it doesn’t start on P position (Parking),
it starts on N position (Neutral).

I couldn’t find what the error code was…

I bought a Gearbox Inhibitor Switch in 2019 as I made some research, and the problem was that for not starting on P position…
didn’t went around to fit it…
(does anyone changed the gearbox inhibitor switch...how difficult is to change it?)

Any idea about this error code 38 is?

Hi all
Any advice on the error 38...
Thanks

Its not listed on the 2-gigit codes but a web search gives;
"Faulty Heated Oxygen Sensor"
Which usually relates to the 4-wire O2 detector in the exhaust pipe, where the heater circuit has failed.
However the mechanical diagrams for a 1996 diesel doesn't show one being present!

Hi,

Thanks, g8dhe for your reply…

I had this fault since 2019, I have had researched it for a while about this error but could not find anything as well…
Could you please confirm for me that the error is 38? I have added a video link for it…
But i don’t want to give up, I love challenges but that really puzzled me…
If I cannot find it or fix it, I may have to bring it to the specialist …

Last year I have changed the follow, thinking that could cure the problem…

Try a Google search https://www.google.com/search?q=mazda+error+code+p0038

Do you have a sensor in the exhaust system thought they were only in petrol engines but ...... see here https://www.igmaynard.co.uk/bongo/forum ... 83#p589183

hi g8dhe,

Thanks for the reply,
I have driven my bongo for a week to clear the ecu as advised…
About the sensor in the exhaust system, I need to double check…
as far as I remember I never seen it while fixing or changing the exhaust …
I will have a look this week…
