8 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 8 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module judged the Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 3 behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
The control module detected that the Accelerator Position Sensor Supply Voltage value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
The control module detected that the Fuel Pulse In Range But value was lower than expected for the current conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
The control module registered the fault condition described as "Oil pressure sensor, rocker arm - signal stuck low". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
The control module detected that the Accelerator Pedal Position Sensor Supply Voltage value was above the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Jeep.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Heated oxygen sensor (HO2S), bank 2 - activity circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
The control module detected a short circuit to battery voltage in the Fuel Injection Air Control Valve circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen.
The control module judged the Electronic throttle system (ETS) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (8 interpretations). The control module judged the Accelerator pedal position (APP) sensor 3 behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
P1286 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: Chevrolet, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Jeep, Nissan, VAG, 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.
