P1050 Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations)
6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 4 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
BMW
1 interpretation
Dodge
1 interpretationThe 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
2 interpretationsThe 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.

VAG
2 interpretationsThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Camshaft position (CMP) actuator, exhaust/ right/rear, Bank 1 circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
- Wiring open circuit
- camshaft position (CMP) actuator

Frequently asked questions about P1050
What does P1050 mean?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations). 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.
Is P1050 generic or manufacturer-specific?
P1050 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: BMW, Dodge, PSA, VAG. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
Can TuningBot remove P1050 at file level?
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.
