P1156 Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations)
6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 5 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
Chevrolet
1 interpretation
Ford
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Fuel Selector Switch circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- fuel injector control module
- ECM
MINI
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the signal in the O2 Sensor Heater circuit stayed below the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
PSA
1 interpretationThe stored code identifies a fault of the Motorised throttle signal 2. Documented for the Magneti Marelli MM6KP engine ECU (EW7A/EW10A) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models. PSA documentation does not characterise the failure mode further.
VAG
2 interpretationsThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
- Wiring open circuit/short to ground
- MAP sensor
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen.
