BMW

1 interpretation
P1611
Serial Communicating Link Transmission Control Module BMW · transmission Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Serial Communicating Link Transmission Control Module circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.

Recommended checks

  • Perform a full module scan
  • Review freeze-frame and occurrence data
  • Compare commanded and measured values
  • Check applicable OEM service information

Dodge

P1611
Engine control module (ECM) - 5 volt output erratic Dodge · engine Data confidence 62%

The control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - 5 volt output erratic circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Dodge.

Possible causes

  • Wiring
  • poor connection
  • APP sensor
  • engine oil sensor
  • MAF sensor
  • ECM

Ford
