Chevrolet

1 interpretation
P1156
HO2S Rich Average Bank 2 Sensor 1 Chevrolet · emissions Data confidence 80%

The control module detected a fault associated with the HO2S Rich Average Bank 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.

Ford

P1156
O2 Sensor Heater Circuit Low Voltage Bank 2 Sensor 2 MINI · emissions Data confidence 62%

The 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 interpretation
P1156
Motorised throttle signal 2 PSA · engine Data confidence 72%

The 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.

Applies to Peugeot Magneti Marelli MM6KP engine ECU (EW7A/EW10A)

VAG

2 interpretations
P1156
Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor - open circuit/short to ground VAG · engine Data confidence 62%

Possible causes

  • Wiring open circuit/short to ground
  • MAP sensor
Applies to Audi
