8 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 8 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected that the VVT control circuit, bank 1 signal stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
The control module detected that the signal in the Hybrid battery pack temperature sensor 1 circuit stayed below the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Idle Air Control Valve Opening Coil 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 Kia.
The control module detected that the signal in the Idle air control (IAC) valve closing coil circuit stayed above the expected operating range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Land Rover.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Crankshaft Exhaust Camshaft Correlation circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by MINI.
The control module detected improper operation of the Electrical load circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Idle Air Control Valve circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Porsche.
The control module judged the Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor/ barometric pressure (BARO) behaviour implausible for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (8 interpretations). The control module detected that the VVT control circuit, bank 1 signal stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
P1553 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: BMW, Honda, Kia, Land Rover, MINI, Nissan, Porsche, VAG. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
If the fault logic lives in the ECU calibration, yes: our DTC Removal file service disables the specific fault entry. Checksum correction is not included: it is a separate, optional service. Not sure whether your case qualifies? Request a free assessment and our engineers will check your ECU file.
