1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the IFI Control Module N37 circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mercedes-Benz.
Nissan
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Engine control module (ECM), immobilizer function - internal circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Nissan.
Possible causes
ECM
Opel
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Immobilizer control module - no / state or value did not match what was expected. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Opel.
PSA
9 interpretationsThe stored code identifies a fault of the Configuration not carried out fault. Documented for the AM6/AT6 automatic gearbox 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 stored code identifies a fault of the Configuration 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 the fault condition "Configuration not carried out or incorrect" for the Injectors category configuration. Documented for the Bosch EDC16C34 injection ECU (DV6TED4 1.6 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The stored code identifies a fault of the Configuration fault (Absence of configuration). Documented for the Bosch ESP 8.1 stability 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 the fault condition "ECU not configured" for the Configuration fault. Documented for the Bosch MED 17.4.x engine ECU (EP6 THP family) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module detected the fault condition "ECU not configured" for the Configuration fault. Documented for the Bosch MEV17.4 engine ECU (EP6 1.6 VTi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
The control module detected the fault condition "Downloading fault of the configuration of the ECU" for the Downloading / Configuration. 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.
The stored code identifies a fault of the Configuration. Documented for the Magneti Marelli MM6KP engine ECU (EW7A/EW10A) 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 the fault condition "ECU not configured" for the Configuration fault. Documented for the Siemens SID 803 injection ECU (DW10BTED4 2.0 HDi) on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
Toyota
1 interpretationThe control module detected improper operation of the Secondary air injection (AIR). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Toyota.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- AIR
- ECM
VAG
2 interpretationsThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the Malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
Possible causes
Wiring open circuit/short to positive
The control module detected a short circuit to battery voltage in the MIL Control Circuit: Open or circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 18021. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
