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."

SOURCE: I took my 99 dodge grand caravan to advanced auto

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.

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.
