P1461 OBD-II Diagnostic Powertrain (P) Trouble Code DescriptionP1461 OBD-II Trouble Code A/C Pressure Sensor Circuit Voltage Low is one of the definitions for the P1461; however your vehicles manufacturer may have a different definition for the P1461 code. Please check below for your specReason For P1461 CodeThe reason of P1461 OBD-II Fault Code Check is P1461 A/C Pressure Sensor Circuit Voltage Low. |
P1461 Solution:
Power Steering Pressure (PSP) Switch Signal Malfunction The PCM counts the number of times vehicle speed transitions from 0 to a calibratable speed. After a calibratable number of speed transitions the PCM expects that the PSP input should have changed. This DTC is set if the transition is not detected. Vehicle towed with engine running Power steering hydraulic concern was repaired but DTC was not erased PSP switch/shorting bar damaged SIG RTN circuit open PSP circuit open or shorted to SIGRTN PCM damaged Check, if possible, if vehicle was towed or power steering service was performed. Observe PSP V PID while checking wires for intermittents.
