Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Mass air flow (MAF) sensor - flow too low. The control module detected that the Mass air flow (MAF) sensor - flow value was below the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.
P1220 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: Volvo. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
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.
