10 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 8 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
BMW
1 interpretation
Chevrolet
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the HO2S Heater Current Monitor Control Circuit Banks 1 and 2 Sensor 1 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
Chrysler
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the HO2S Heater Current Monitor Control Circuit Sensors 1 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.
Recommended checks
- Perform a full module scan
- Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
- Confirm the exact vehicle, ECU and software context
- Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
- Check applicable OEM service information
Dodge
1 interpretationThe control module judged the Ignition coil, 2 - secondary behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- connectors
- ignition coil 2
- spark plug
- ECM
Mercedes-Benz
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mercedes-Benz.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- connector
- HO2S
Nissan
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), bank 1, heater voltage stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- HO2S
PSA
2 interpretationsThe control module detected the fault condition "Mechanical blockage" for the Fault in the variable valve lift system. 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.

VAG
2 interpretationsThe control module detected a fault associated with the Intake manifold air control valve position sensor - specification not attained circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
- Air control flap tight/sticking
- hose connection(s)
- intake manifold air control actuator
- intake manifold air control solenoid
The control module detected a fault associated with the Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (N316): Setpoint Not Reached circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17439. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
Possible causes
- Intake Manifold Flap blocked/tight
- Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (N316) faulty
- Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Position Sensor (G336) faulty
Recommended checks
- Check Intake Manifold Tuning Valve (N316)
- Check Intake Manifold Tuning Valve Position Sensor (G336)
- Check Intake Manifold Flap
