The control module detected that the value received for the Fault in the engine oil or intake air temperature information received by the CAN (Engine ECU) over the network was incorrect. Documented for the AM6/AT6 automatic gearbox ECU on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.

Frequently asked questions about U1218
What does U1218 mean?
Diagnostic Trouble Code (9 interpretations). The control module detected that the value received for the Fault in the engine oil or intake air temperature information received by the CAN (Engine ECU) over the network was incorrect. Documented for the AM6/AT6 automatic gearbox ECU on Peugeot applications; the same PSA control units are also fitted to Citroën models.
Is U1218 generic or manufacturer-specific?
U1218 is a manufacturer-specific code. In this database it is documented for: PSA. The same number can mean something different on other brands.
Can TuningBot remove U1218 at file level?
Not guaranteed. Powertrain (P) codes can be reliably disabled in the ECU calibration, but body, chassis and network codes depend on the specific control unit and how the fault is implemented - some can be handled, some cannot. Ask for a quote and our engineers will check your file and tell you, free of charge, whether U1218 is removable in your case.
