Manufacturer-specific interpretation for VAG. All interpretations of P1538
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Fuel shut - off solenoid circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Fuel Shutoff Solenoid (N109) circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 17946. Documented stored variants include: Open or Short to Ground. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
