13 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 12 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected improper operation of the Knock sensor(s) (KS) circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Fuel system - lean during acceleration 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.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Fuel System Lean During Acceleration 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.
The control module registered the fault condition described as "Rotor Sensor Fault". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
The control module detected improper operation of the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S) 1 circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
The control module detected improper operation of the Electronic throttle system (ETS), WOT. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Kia.
The control module detected that the air-fuel mixture stayed leaner than the target despite full corrective control (System). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
The control module registered the fault condition described as "Ambient Pressure Sensor Learned Value Error". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Mixture control (MC), engine under load - mixture lean circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Opel.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Fuel Supply System Lean During Power Enrichment circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Suzuki.
The control module judged the Throttle motor position sensor 2 behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
The control module judged the Angle Sensor 2 for Throttle Actuator (G188) signal implausible when compared with other operating data. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17579. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
