Dodge

1 interpretation
P1461
Engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor implausible signal Dodge · thermal_management Data confidence 62%

The control module judged the Engine coolant temperature (ECT) signal implausible when compared with other operating data. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • connections
  • ECT sensor
  • ECM

Ford

1 interpretation
P1461
Air Conditioning Pressure Sensor Circuit High Ford · climate_control Data confidence 80%

The control module detected that the signal in the Air Conditioning Pressure circuit stayed above the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
  • ECM

Land Rover

1 interpretation
P1461
AJC refrigerant pressure sensor - low input Land Rover · climate_control Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the AJC refrigerant pressure signal stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.

Possible causes

  • A/C refrigerant pressure too low (incorrectly charged)
  • wiring
  • A/C refrigerant pressure sensor
  • ECM

Mazda

1 interpretation
P1461
AIC refrigerant pressure sensor - high voltage Mazda · climate_control Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the AIC refrigerant pressure sensor - high voltage circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mazda.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • AIC refrigerant pressure sensor
  • ECM

MINI

1 interpretation
P1461
Heated Catalyst Gate Voltage Signal Low MINI · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Heated Catalyst Gate Voltage signal stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
