It is for the radiator fan relay control circuit.It means there is a problem in the cooling fan relay circuit.Could be the relay,wiring,or the fans.Check the fuses and relay over if it looks good then you have to take it in to get it diagnosed.You need a scan tool and you also need to know how to use a multimeter.Hope this helps.Good luck.

Obc code P1491. REPLACED THE RELAY (RY 330 )riveted on the body under the driver headlamp, code didnt dissapear and engine light still on. The car is a 2000 Grand Caravan with 3 liter engine.

Just replacing the relay will not reset the code. You need to reset the code in your computer. If you disconnect the battery for about 20 minutes it should reset.

What is the codes for a 95 dodge caravan 3.0 v6 it's blinks twice

The 95 Caravan is great for giving you trouble codes. However they are two digit codes. There should be a blink sequence followed by a short pause then another blink sequence (example 2 blinks, short pause, 3 blinks... Then 5 blinks, pause, 5 blinks which means no more codes. Turn key from off to run three times and leave in run and watch check engine light to count blinks. Disconnecting negative terminal on battery for 30 seconds clears codes.

I took my 99 dodge grand caravan to advanced auto and got a computer readout of p1491 as the error code. is this important and is this expensive?

P1491 is Radiator Fan Control Relay Circuit. MEANING: An open or shorted condition detected in the low speed radiator fan control circuit.
Some questions for you:
1. Is your Caravan overheating?
2. Is your Caravan water temperature spiking going past the midway point on the Temp Gauge before the radiator is engaged?
3. Is your Rad Fan coming-on and then turning off and back-on in a very short period of time (like under a minute?
If all of these are "No" then do not worry about it.

DODGE CARAVAN 2000

There is no way to know what is turning on the light without a scanner, which is a diagnostic tool for reading trouble codes that cause the light to come on. If you have an AutoZone parts store near you, they'll hook up to your car and give you the trouble code for free. This will give you an idea of what's wrong.
