P1537 CHEVROLET - A/C On Request Circuit Low Voltage

P1537 - Intake Manifold Runner Control Stuck Open.

You might want to look at the IMRC valve. It is probably sticking from carbon build up? Use top engine cleaner and clean the air plenum.

Once you have done this clear the codes and go for a ride. About 30 miles should do it. If you have anymore codes it will come back up.

p1537 IMRC--stuck open. Check for vacuum,hose issues and bad solenoid

A common problem on Windstars, there are two IMRC valves, the only way to fix them is replacement, which is not that hard. They are mounted on the end of the intake manifold and control runner length. There is a front and rear one, I'm not sure which one this is but you'll probably have to go to Ford to buy it and they should be able to tell you with the code number. The problem will not affect driveability that much, but if you have emissions testing at your location, this will likely cause it to fail.

HAVE ENGINE CODES P1537 & P1538 WHICH ARE INTAKE MANIFOLD RUNNER CONTROL STUCK OPEN BANKS 1 & 2.
YOU CAN TRY TO CLEAN THEM,BUT ITS NOT LIKELY THAT YOU CAN CLEAR THE CODES.

BUT DONT WORRY THIS PROBLEM IS COMMEN ON THIS MODEL OF FORD.

GOOD LUCK...
