Anyone good with OBD fault codes?

[ecain63]

I get the feeling this one is a spurious code as i have seen it come and go in the past. I also used to get spurious codes on my A45 as some of the requested sensor data wasn't supported by the car.

I probably scan my car every week or so and since Christmas, when I bought the car I've seen this code maybe 3 times. It'll usually clear and not return when rescanned. Today however it won't go away. Maybe I need to go for a drive to recycle the ECU as it (OBD device) says that it can take a few 'non-fault' journeys to fully clear a Grey Code.

The code is P1061 - Powertrain.
Saab.
Manufacturer Controlled DTC
Injector 6 Low Output
Wiring Open Circuit / Short to Ground, Injector


I have no running issues. The car is still pulling the expected (for 520-530bhp) vbox times and there is no CEL / EML.

Any ideas?

As I said, I'm expecting it to be nothing but an ODB data discrepancy but thought I'd ask anyway.

What scanner are you using? Any reason to scan it every week?

 

[ecain63]

Torque bluetooth ODB scanner.

No reason other than I leave the dongle in the OBD port all the time and take regular data reads for personal / comparison purposes. I have a WhatsApp group that is quite heavy on the Vbox and diagnostics stuff as we all attend 1/4 mile and top speed events. I only see the fault codes as part of my data pull.

If I didn't have the dongle in the port I'd never know there was a fault code as the car runs perfectly as far as I can tell and have no CEL or EML

There maybe the answer, a spurious code.

P1061 on a merc could be:

Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor
Return hose off
Fuel supply hose fuel leak - High pressure system

Interesting.

What database is that from?

Looks like 'ghost' faults. Are you running a tuning box? I wonder if this is causing this

It's running a Eurocharged V5 map and Remus exhaust (catback).
