8 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 6 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.

P · PowertrainEngineOBD2

Chrysler

1 interpretation
P1299
Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/throttle position (TP) sensor Chrysler · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/throttle position (TP) sensor 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.

Possible causes

  • Intake leak
  • hose connection(s)
  • MAP sensor
  • TP sensor

Ford

2 interpretations
P1299
Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor Detected Engine Overheating Condition Ford · engine Data confidence 80%

The control module detected that the Cylinder Head Temperature Sensor Detected Engine temperature exceeded its permissible limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • cooling system fault
  • CHT sensor

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information
P1299:00
fail-safe cooling activated Ford · engine Data confidence 94%

Ford documents P1299:00 (no sub type information) for its 2024-2025 gasoline-engine OBD monitor strategy as fail-safe cooling activated. This three-byte interpretation is application-specific and identifies the detected monitor condition rather than a confirmed failed component.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information
Applies to Ford gasoline-engine OBD applications|2024-2025 model years
