C1495 — Traction Control Motor Potentiometer Circuit Failure

System: Chassis  |  Type: Manufacturer-Specific  |  Make: Generic

About C1495

C1495 is a manufacturer-specific chassis diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the C-prefix family of codes, which covers chassis, braking, steering, suspension, or stability-control faults.

When C1495 is stored, the module has detected an electrical-circuit fault in the wiring, connector, or driver associated with the named component.

Scanning & clearing: Chassis (C) codes are stored in the ABS, traction control, or stability-control modules. An enhanced or OEM-level scan tool is usually required to read and clear them.

C1495 is a manufacturer-specific code. The same code string on a different make may have a different meaning. Always confirm the code's definition against the vehicle's service information for the specific make and model under test.

Code Information

The C1495 fault code indicates the traction control or chassis control module has detected a fault on the traction control motor potentiometer circuit. On older traction control systems that intervene by closing a secondary throttle plate or by limiting the main throttle position with a dedicated traction control servo motor, a potentiometer attached to the motor shaft provides position feedback to the module. The potentiometer outputs a 0V to 5V analog signal proportional to motor position. This code is set when the module detects an out of range signal, missing signal, or signal that does no...
