6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 5 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected that the VVT control module - internal fault, current value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
The control module detected that the signal in the Ignition coil, 4 - secondary circuit stayed above the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
The control module detected that related sensor signals for Valvetronic Eccentric Shaft did not agree with each other (correlation/plausibility fault). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
The control module detected the fault condition "Incoherence between the 2 tracks" for the Variable valve lift position sensor track 1 and 2 signals fault. Documented for the Bosch MED 17.4.x engine ECU (EP6 THP family) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module detected the fault condition "Incoherence between the 2 tracks" for the Variable valve lift position sensor track 1 and 2 signals fault. Documented for the Bosch MEV17.4 engine ECU (EP6 1.6 VTi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module registered the fault condition described as "Engine Control Module Internal Fault". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations). The control module detected that the VVT control module - internal fault, current value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
P1017 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: BMW, Dodge, MINI, PSA, Volvo. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
