About P1182

P1182 is a manufacturer-specific powertrain diagnostic trouble code. It belongs to the P-prefix family of codes, which covers engine, transmission, emissions, or fuel-system faults.

Scanning & clearing: A generic OBD-II scan tool will usually read and clear powertrain (P) codes. For live data, freeze-frame capture, and bi-directional tests you may need a more capable scan tool that supports the vehicle's ECM protocol.

P1182 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 ECM sets P1182 when it detects an issue with the fuel shut-off solenoid circuit or its operation. This solenoid is responsible for controlling fuel flow to the engine, typically for safety or shutdown purposes. A malfunction can result from electrical faults, solenoid failure, or mechanical sticking, leading to improper fuel delivery or an inability to shut off fuel supply when required.
