Damaged, chafed or corroded wiring between the solenoid and the control unit; Poor connection at the solenoid plug, with corroded, loose or pushed-back terminals; Failed solenoid with an open or shorted coil; Blown fuse or a fault in the power or earth supply to the solenoid circuit; Water ingress or heat damage to the connector or harness; Fault inside the control unit driver circuit.

What it means

P1495 is a manufacturer-specific code listed here as 'TCSPL Solenoid Circuit Malfunction'. The control unit has seen an electrical fault in the circuit that drives this solenoid, such as an open circuit, a short to earth or voltage, or a current that doesn't match the commanded state. The exact job of the TCSPL solenoid and the way the fault is detected depend on the manufacturer and model, so confirm them in the workshop data for the vehicle.

Symptoms

Engine warning light on
Reduced performance or the car going into a limited-power mode, depending on the system
Rough running or poor drivability, depending on what the solenoid controls
Other related codes stored alongside it
Intermittent fault that comes and goes with vibration or temperature

Possible causes

Damaged, chafed or corroded wiring between the solenoid and the control unitlikely
Poor connection at the solenoid plug, with corroded, loose or pushed-back terminalslikely
Failed solenoid with an open or shorted coillikely
Blown fuse or a fault in the power or earth supply to the solenoid circuitpossible
Water ingress or heat damage to the connector or harnesspossible
Fault inside the control unit driver circuitrare

How to diagnose

Read all stored and pending codes and note the freeze frame data, then check for related codes that point to the same system.
Look up what the TCSPL solenoid is and where it sits on this model and engine, using the manufacturer's workshop data.
Inspect the solenoid, its connector and the harness for chafing, heat damage, corrosion, water and loose terminals.
Check the relevant fuse and the power and earth supplies to the solenoid circuit against the wiring diagram.
Measure the solenoid coil resistance and compare it with the specification for the vehicle.
Check the wiring between the solenoid and the control unit for continuity, and for shorts to earth or to voltage.
Where the scan tool allows, command the solenoid and confirm that it clicks or responds and that the circuit state changes.
Clear the code after the repair and road test to confirm it doesn't return.

How to fix

Repair or replace damaged wiring, using proper soldered or crimped and sealed joints.
Clean, re-seat or replace a corroded or damaged connector and its terminals.
Replace the solenoid if the coil resistance or operation is out of specification.
Replace the blown fuse after finding and correcting the cause of the overload, or restore the faulty power or earth supply.
Have the control unit tested and repaired or replaced only after the wiring and solenoid have been proved good.

Can I keep driving?

Medium severity

The car can usually be driven for a short time, but get it checked soon because the effects depend on what the solenoid controls. If performance drops sharply or the car runs badly, limit driving and have it inspected.
