9 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 9 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
Chevrolet
1 interpretation
Dodge
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Fuel Injection Pump Controller Supply voltage stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.
Ford
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Fuel Pulse In Range But value was higher than expected for the current conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
Honda
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the signal in the Oil pressure switch, rocker arm circuit stayed above the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
Possible causes
- Oil level
- wiring
- oil pressure switch - rocker arm
- ECM programming
- ECM
Jeep
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Fuel Injection Pump Controller Supply voltage stayed below the expected range. 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
Land Rover
1 interpretationThe control module judged the Engine fuel demand behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
Possible causes
- Intake/exhaust leak
- intake blocked
- MAF/VAF sensor
- fuel pressure/pump
- injector(s)
- EGR system
MINI
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the Switching Solenoid for Air Assisted Injection Valves Bank 2 Control Circuit Electrical circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
VAG
1 interpretationThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Turbocharger (TC) bypass valve circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
- Wiring open circuit
- TC bypass valve
Volvo
1 interpretationThe control module judged the Electronic throttle system (ETS) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- throttle valve tight/sticking
- ETS
