8 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 8 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
The control module detected improper operation of the WT sensor circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
The control module detected improper operation of the Cruise control system, inhibit output circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chevrolet.
The control module detected improper operation of the Cruise Inhibit Control circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Chrysler.
The control module detected improper operation of the Throttle Control Unit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
The control module judged the Brake fluid pressure sensor B signal implausible: it stayed inside electrical limits but did not match the value expected for the current operating conditions. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
The control module detected a fault associated with the Misfire With Empty Fuel Tank 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 stored code identifies a fault of the Gear selection actuator position sensor 1 supply fault. Documented for the Automated manual gearbox electric control ECU on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models. PSA documentation does not characterise the failure mode further.
The control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Transmission Mount Valves circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen.
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 improper operation of the WT sensor circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
P1585 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: BMW, Chevrolet, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Porsche, PSA, 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.
