What Does Code C1922 Mean? DTC C1922 signifies an “Output Circuit Open” condition within the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) Solenoid Actuator circuit. This code indicates that the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or in some architectures, a dedicated Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) which reports to the PCM, has detected an open circuit when attempting […]

What Does Code C1923 Mean? DTC C1923 signifies an electrical fault within the circuit for the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) Solenoid Actuator, specifically indicating a “Short To Battery” condition on its output circuit. The VAPS system, often controlled by the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM) or integrated within the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), is […]

What Does Code C1924 Mean? DTC C1924 indicates a detected short to ground within the output circuit of the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) solenoid actuator. The VAPS system, typically controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) or a dedicated Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), dynamically adjusts the power steering assist level based on vehicle […]

What Does Code C1925 Mean? DTC C1925 signifies a “VAPS Solenoid Actuator Return Circuit Failure.” VAPS stands for Variable Assist Power Steering, a system predominantly found in Ford vehicles designed to alter the power steering assist level based on vehicle speed. The VAPS system employs a solenoid actuator, typically integrated into the power steering rack, […]

What Does Code C1926 Mean? Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) C1926 indicates an Open Circuit in the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) Solenoid Actuator Return Circuit. The VAPS system is designed to provide varying levels of power steering assistance based on vehicle speed, offering lighter steering at low speeds for easier maneuverability and firmer steering at […]

What Does Code C1927 Mean? DTC C1927 indicates a fault within the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) solenoid actuator’s return circuit, specifically identifying a condition where this circuit is receiving unintended battery voltage (short to battery). The VAPS system, also known as speed-sensitive power steering, is designed to adjust the amount of power steering assist […]

What Does Code C1928 Mean? DTC C1928 indicates a detected electrical anomaly within the return circuit of the Variable Assist Power Steering (VAPS) solenoid actuator, specifically a short to ground. The Powertrain Control Module (PCM), or in some systems, a dedicated Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), monitors the electrical characteristics of the VAPS solenoid circuit. […]

What Does Code C1929 Mean? DTC C1929 signifies an electrical malfunction within the circuit that controls the front air suspension compressor relay. This code is typically set by the Air Suspension Control Module (ASCM) or a related Body Control Module (BCM) when it detects an unexpected electrical state in the compressor relay circuit. The module […]

What Does Code C1930 Mean? Diagnostic Trouble Code C1930 indicates that the vehicle’s Air Suspension Control Module (ASCM), or in some integrated systems, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM), has detected an “open circuit” condition within the electrical pathway controlling the front air suspension compressor relay. An open circuit signifies a break or interruption in the […]

What Does Code C1931 Mean? DTC C1931 signifies a fault within the air suspension system, specifically indicating a “Short To Battery” in the front air suspension compressor relay control circuit. This means the Suspension Control Module (SCM) or Body Control Module (BCM), which typically manages air suspension functions, is detecting a voltage in the control […]
