Bosch error codes are typically caused by a faulty sensor or a problem with the electrical system. The most common error codes are E01, E02, and E03, which indicate a problem with the throttle position sensor, the engine speed sensor, or the fuel injector, respectively. Other common error codes include E04 (oxygen sensor), E05 (coolant temperature sensor), and E06 ( knock sensor). These codes typically indicate a problem with the sensor itself, or with the wiring or connectors to the sensor.
