TuningBot DTC Database · v4.37.15
12 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 11 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
BMWThe control module detected that the Mass air flow (MAF)/volume air flow (VAF), A - below value was below the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
ChryslerThe control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - primary 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 Chrysler.
DodgeThe control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - primary 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.
FordThe control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Ford.
Incorrect programming
HondaThe control module registered the fault condition described as "Engine control module (ECM) - internal fault". This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Honda.
ECM
HyundaiThe control module detected that the monitored Engine torque control - limit reached/ value exceeded the calibrated threshold. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Hyundai.
JeepThe control module detected a fault associated with the Engine control module (ECM) - primary 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 Jeep.
OpelThe control module detected improper operation of the Engine control module (ECM). This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Opel.
SuzukiThe control module detected improper operation of the Keyless start control module - CAN circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Suzuki.
VAGThe control module detected a short circuit to battery voltage in the Glow plug relay circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Audi.
The control module detected a short circuit to battery voltage in the Glow plug relay circuit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen.
VolvoThe control module detected a fault associated with the Transmission control module (TCM) - MIL request circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.

Powertrain: engine, transmission and driveline systems.
Manufacturer-defined range: the meaning can differ between brands.
Specific fault index within the subsystem.
Diagnostic Trouble Code (12 interpretations). The control module detected that the Mass air flow (MAF)/volume air flow (VAF), A - below value was below the expected limit. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by BMW.
P1618 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: BMW, Chrysler, Dodge, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jeep, Opel, Suzuki, VAG, Volvo. 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.
