Repair advice for the Seat Ateca: Engine malfunction indicator lamp lights up and error code P1558 is set

If the above-mentioned problem is detected, one possible cause may be a malfunctioning of the throttle valve control unit.

 

In order to exclude other possible causes of malfunction, electrical and mechanical system tests (in accordance with vehicle manufacturer specifications) and also a fault code query using a suitable diagnostic unit should all be carried out.

 

Error code P1558 (electrical malfunction of the throttle valve actuator) is set.

 

If no other faults have been diagnosed, the throttle valve control unit must be replaced in such a case.

 

Finally a test drive should be undertaken and also another error code query carried out in order to run a check on the repair work.

IMPORTANT
