BMW

1 interpretation
P1050
O2 Sensor Heater Control Circuit Bank 1 Sensor 1 BMW · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the O2 Sensor Heater Control Circuit Bank 1 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 BMW.

Dodge

1 interpretation
P1050
Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 system too lean Dodge · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the air-fuel mixture stayed leaner than the target despite full corrective control (Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 2, bank 1 system). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • connectors
  • HO2S
  • ECM

PSA

P1050
Fault in the variable valve lift system : Power part of the motor relay : Open circuit PSA · engine Data confidence 72%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Fault in the variable valve lift system circuit. 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.

Applies to Peugeot Bosch MED 17.4.x engine ECU (EP6 THP family)
