10 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 10 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
Chevrolet
1 interpretation
Chrysler
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the IC Output High Pulse Detected When Grounded Cyl 6 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.
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
