The control module detected a fault associated with the Oxygen (Lambda) Sensor B1 S1: Heater Return Coupling circuit or function; the stored code identifies the affected component rather than a single failure mode. This is the manufacturer-specific definition used by Volkswagen. Volkswagen Group tools also report it as fault code 19667. Documented across Volkswagen Group applications (Audi, SEAT and Škoda included).
