BMW

1 interpretation
P1198
Mass air flow (MAF)/vane air flow (VAF) - flow too high BMW · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Mass air flow (MAF)/vane air flow (VAF) - flow value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • MAF/VAF sensor
  • vacuum leaks

Chrysler

1 interpretation
P1198
Radiator Temp Sensor Input Too High Chrysler · thermal_management Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Radiator Temp Sensor Input value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.

Ford

1 interpretation
P1198
Pump Rotor Control Underfueling Ford · engine Data confidence 80%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Pump Rotor Control Underfueling circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.

Jeep

1 interpretation
P1198
Radiator Temperature Sensor Voltage Too High Jeep · thermal_management Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Radiator Temperature Sensor Voltage value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Jeep.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Confirm the exact vehicle, ECU and software context
  • Inspect relevant wiring and connectors
  • Check applicable OEM service information
