This fault indicates that the signal wire for pressure transducer P1 (codes 57-xx) or P2 (codes 58-xx) is 'shorted,' meaning it's returning less than 0.5V DC. The most common cause is the sensor wire shorting to the metal chassis of the unit.
Click steps to track your progress.
Visually inspect the wiring harnesses for pressure transducers P1 and P2, especially the green signal wire (GRN), for any damage or contact with metal.
Ensure the sensor wire is not shorted to the metal chassis or any other conductive surface.
Verify that the red power wire (RED) is supplying +5V DC and the green signal wire (GRN) is returning a DC voltage between 0.5-4.5 VDC.
If connections and voltages appear correct, the pressure transducer itself may be faulty and require replacement by a technician.
