6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 5 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.

P · PowertrainEngineOBD2

Chrysler

1 interpretation
P1496
Engine control module (ECM) - 5 volt output low Chrysler · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - 5 volt output low 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

ECM

Mazda

1 interpretation
P1496
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve’coil 1 - short/open circuit Mazda · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve’coil 1 - short/ circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mazda.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • EGR valve
  • ECM

Mitsubishi

1 interpretation
P1496
5 Volt Supply Output Too Low Mitsubishi · engine Data confidence 80%

The control module detected that the 5 Volt Supply Output value was below the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mitsubishi.

PSA

2 interpretations
P1496
Turbocharger : Incorrect position in relation to the reference value, excessive turbocharging (After Sales) PSA · engine Data confidence 72%

The control module detected the fault condition "Incorrect position in relation to the reference value, excessive turbocharging (After Sales)" for the Turbocharger. Documented for the Continental SID 807 injection ECU (DV6C 1.6 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.

Applies to Peugeot Continental SID 807 injection ECU (DV6C 1.6 HDi)
P1496
Variable geometry turbocharger : Position incorrect in relation to the requirement (Too much turbocharging pressure) (APV) PSA · engine Data confidence 72%

The control module detected the fault condition "Position incorrect in relation to the requirement (Too much turbocharging pressure) (APV)" for the Variable geometry turbocharger. Documented for the Delphi DCM 3.5 injection ECU (DW10C 2.0 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.

Applies to Peugeot Delphi DCM 3.5 injection ECU (DW10C 2.0 HDi)

Subaru

1 interpretation
P1496
Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid valve - signal 3 - voltage low Subaru · emissions Data confidence 62%

The control module detected that the Exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) solenoid valve - signal 3 voltage stayed below the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Subaru.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • EGR solenoid valve

Frequently asked questions about P1496

What does P1496 mean?

Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations). The control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - 5 volt output low 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.

Is P1496 generic or manufacturer-specific?

P1496 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: Chrysler, Mazda, Mitsubishi, PSA, Subaru. The same number can mean something different on other brands.

Can TuningBot remove P1496 at file level?

If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry and, where the ECU needs it, corrects the checksum too. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
