Possible Symptoms
- Engine Light ON (or Service Engine Soon Warning Light)
P1496 JEEP Description
With the key on or engine running, the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) detects that the 5-volt supply to the sensors was under 3.5v for 5 seconds. Possible causes include a shorted 5-volt power supply, a shorted sensor, or its related feed circuit.
