BMW

1 interpretation
P1004
VVT supply voltage circuit malfunction - high input, bank 1 BMW · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected improper operation of the VVT supply voltage circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.

Possible causes

  • Wiring short to positive
  • connections

Chrysler

1 interpretation
P1004
Intake manifold air control valve (short runner) - performance Chrysler · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module judged the Intake manifold air control valve (short runner) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.

Possible causes

  • Automatic shut - down (ASO) relay circuit open/short
  • control circuit short circuit to ground
  • control circuit open
  • intake manifold air control valve
  • ECM

Jeep

The control module judged the Short Runner Valve Control behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Jeep.

MINI

1 interpretation
P1004
Valvetronic Eccentric Shaft Sensor Guide MINI · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Valvetronic Eccentric Shaft Sensor Guide circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.

PSA
