C1588 Citroen C2 OBD Code

OBD/2 C1588 error code description and symptoms.

Intake Manifold Runner Control Malfunction (Stuck Open) The IMRC system is monitored for failure during continuous, key ON engine OFF or key ON engine running self-test. The test fails when the signal on the monitor pin is less than an expected calibrated range at closed throttle. IMRC monitor signal circuit shorted to PWR GND or SIG RTN Damaged IMRC actuator Damaged PCM An IMRCM PID reading approximately near 1 volt at closed throttle may indicate a fault.

Some systems require that the actuator has an adequate supply of brake fluid. Low brake fluid levels can mimic the symptoms of code C1588, so consult the manual to locate the brake fluid reservoir. Bear in mind that a low fluid level can set code C1588 on some applications, so make sure that on fluid operated systems the fluid level is up to the mark before starting an electrical diagnosis.

C1588 Citroen C2 Error Code Repair Process :

If your vehicle failed a C1588 test and the C1588 Check Engine Light is NOT on, chances are you have a problem with the OBDII system, a burned out MIL lamp, or a faulty catalytic converter. The converter is essentially an afterburner that cleans up the exhaust after it exits the engine. The OBDII system uses scp (j1850) invalid or missing data for interior environment a ownstream oxygen sensor to monitor the efficiency of the converter, and it should detect a drop in converter efficiency if the converter has been contaminated or is failing (ignition misfiring, leaky exhaust valves, and oil burning can all damage the converter). What you want to look scp (j1850) invalid or missing data for interior environment: Any conditions that might cause ignition misfire, an overly rich or lean fuel condition, or loss of compression. Use your OBD Express DIY to look at the oxygen sensor outputs, coolant temperature, airflow, calculated engine load, and inlet air temperature.

Common Causes of Citroen C2 C1588 OBD2 Code

A common cause of code C1588 is the failure of SCP (J1850) Invalid or Missing Data for Interior Environment, but there are several other possible causes as well, such as ;

1Camshaft Position Sensor circuit poor electrical connection
Air fuel ratio (A/F) Sensor 1 Bank 1 harness is open or shorted
Erratic camshaft position due to low oil pressure
Oil flow restriction in the oil passages or the variable camshaft timing (VCT) valve body

C1588 is a kind of Chassis Trouble Code

Diagnosing chassis noises can be one of the most frustrating problems technicians face. Fortunately, manufacturers have engineered noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) diagnostic techniques and equipment to find the source of the noise.
