P1771 Diagnostic Trouble Code (6 interpretations)
6 manufacturer-specific interpretations across 6 manufacturers in the TuningBot DTC database.
Ford
1 interpretation
Hyundai
1 interpretationThe control module detected a fault associated with the EMC Thermal Protection - Shutdown circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Hyundai.
Mazda
1 interpretationThe control module detected an interruption (open circuit) in the AT - throttle position (TP) circuit, so the expected electrical continuity was not present. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Mazda.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- TP sensor
PSA
1 interpretationThe stored code identifies a fault of the Exit from the "Reduction of drag" in mode D operating mode fault (neutral). 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.
VAG
1 interpretationThe control module determined that the Load did not change state as commanded and appears stuck. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen.
Volvo
1 interpretationThe control module detected that the Throttle position (TP) signal stayed above the expected range. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volvo.
Possible causes
- Wiring
- short to positive
- TP sensor
- ECM
