P1491 error error P1491

As a Dodge code it refers to..
P1491 Secondary Switch Solenoid Circuit Malfunction.
"P1491 is for the cooling fan relay circuit. There is a seperate fan for the a/c condensor on your truck. When this code sets it is because the fuse is blown. Its fuse 39 in the box under the hood. The cause of this fuse blowing is a bad fan motor."

Code P1491 in Honda/Acura vehicles means insufficient EGR valve lift. Note - this is not the same as 0401 for EGR low flow when you have to clean EGR passage in the intake manifold. If code 1491 is not accompanied with 0401 - that could be faulty EGR valve itself. Try to reset the code, and if it will return soon - replace EGR valve. If, however you see both codes together - cleane the manifold passage before you replacing the valve.

Hello jhonney21,

The P1491 is Radiator fan control relay circuit code. It is set if an open or short circuit is detected in the radiator fan relay control circuit.

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.

Code P1491 is not the PVC Valve.It is the Vacuum Cut Valve Bypass Valve.
Which is located above and away from the egr canister under the driver side rear bumper it is round and have about 3 hoses connected to it. if it is from a check engine light that says look at vacume cut valve check the egr canisters purge valve some times they stick and throw the wrong code

The code "P1491" on chrysler and jeep products, is the "radiator fan control relay circuit".

I hope this helps you, and I wish you luck on your repair.
