What Does The Cadillac P1517 Code Mean?

DTC P1518 not set, key in the crank or run mode, system voltage over 5.23v, and the ETC or TAC module detected that an internal data test failed (did not pass) for a time period of less than 1 second.

What Are The Potential Causes Of The Cadillac P1517 Code?

  • Test the charging system output (low voltage can set this code)
  • Inspect the TAC module connectors for signs of water intrusion. If water intrusion occurs, multiple codes may set without any circuit or component conditions found during diagnostic testing.
