How to Fix Common E-Filing Errors

E-filing can sometimes present challenges, particularly with specific error codes. This guide provides steps to resolve the common errors 0212 and Q046 when e-filing vehicle transactions.

Error 0212 Resolution

The 0212 error often indicates a discrepancy in the transaction type or details provided during e-filing. Follow these steps to address it:

• Check California Title: Ensure that you have the correct title for California.
• Confirm Transaction Type: If this is a rollback transaction, verify if it's categorized as Used Resubmit. For current registrations, set the number of transfers to 2.
• Edit Purchase Price: Remove any dealer inventory date and enter the highest purchase price from both transactions involved.
• MISC RESUBMIT Adjustment: If your transaction is incorrectly labeled as USED RESUBMIT instead of MISC RESUBMIT, update it accordingly.

If you've made these adjustments but continue facing issues with VIN #858 or others like VIN #040 or WS321058, ensure all changes are saved before resubmitting your application.

Addendum for Error Code D345

If you encounter error D345 while processing VIN GS013793, select "retained by owner" under sub plate reasons if applicable. Double-check all entered information for accuracy before proceeding further. Should problems persist, consider reaching out to customer support for additional help.

Error Q046 Resolution

The Q046 error suggests an issue related to post fees already recorded against your transaction type (e.g., PFO or clear). To resolve this issue effectively:

• Resubmit Correctly: Make sure you're processing the right transaction type—if necessary, adjust based on previous filings and submit again after confirming all details are accurate.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If you receive multiple errors simultaneously (like 0212 and Q046), systematically work through each one following their respective guidelines above.
• Avoid skipping any steps; thoroughness can prevent future complications during e-filing processes.
