Spark Plug Voltage Detection Module Reset Circuit Malfunction Rear Bank

Jump to the fix

Severity

Medium

Can I keep driving?

Usually drivable, but get it diagnosed without delay.

First step

Read the freeze frame and check which other ignition codes are present

  • PPowertrain
  • 1Manufacturer-specific
  • 3Powertrain (Other)
  • 19Sequence number

What does it mean?

P1319 is a Powertrain (engine, transmission, fuel system) fault code. It indicates: Spark Plug Detection Module Reset Circuit Fault (Bank 1) .

Symptoms

  • MIL (check engine lamp) on
  • Bank 1 misfire codes stored at the same time
  • Rough running and hesitation, worse under load
  • The code resets soon after clearing
  • Ignition monitor stays incomplete on the scan tool

Likely causes

  • Break or short in the reset wire between the engine control module and the Bank 1 detection module
  • Corroded, bent or backed-out pins in the module connector
  • High-resistance ground at the detection module
  • Detection module failed internally and no longer accepts the reset
  • Intermittent supply voltage from a corroded fuse holder, damaged feed wire or a weak battery
  • Engine control module driver fault, only after everything else is verified

How to fix it

  1. Read the freeze frame and check which other ignition codes are present
  2. Check the reset wire end to end for continuity and for shorts to ground or battery
  3. Measure the module's supply voltage while cranking, not just with the key on
  4. Voltage drop test the module ground back to its ground point
  5. Wiggle-test the connector and harness while monitoring the code status
  6. Repair the wiring, or replace the detection module if the circuit is proven good
  7. Clear the code, complete a drive cycle and confirm the fault does not return
