What Does P1658 Mean?
The powertrain control module is receiving incorrect or corrupted data from the ADR (Active Damping/Ride) control module over the vehicle's data bus. This indicates a communication or signal quality problem between modules.
Common Causes
30%
Failed or faulty ADR control module sending corrupted data
25%
Damaged CAN bus wiring or poor connections between modules
20%
Incorrect software version or corrupted programming in ADR module
15%
Low voltage supply or poor ground affecting ADR module operation
10%
Electromagnetic interference affecting data bus communication
Diagnostic Steps
1
Step 1: Check battery voltage and charging system to ensure stable power supply to all modules
2
Step 2: Scan ADR control module for additional codes and check module communication status
3
Step 3: Inspect CAN bus wiring harness for damage, proper termination resistors, and connector integrity
4
Step 4: Monitor data bus signals with oscilloscope checking for proper voltage levels and signal quality
5
Step 5: Verify ADR module software version and update/reprogram if outdated or corrupted
Estimated Repair Cost
$150 - $900
Parts + labor, varies by vehicle and location
The powertrain control module is receiving incorrect or corrupted data from the ADR (Active Damping/Ride) control module over the vehicle's data bus. This indicates a communication or signal quality problem between modules.
The most common cause of P1658 (Data Bus Powertrain Incorrect signal from ADR Control Module) is: Failed or faulty ADR control module sending corrupted data
Typical repair costs for P1658 range from $150 to $900, depending on the vehicle, location, and whether you do it yourself or go to a shop.
Active suspension damping may not function properly, resulting in degraded ride quality and potentially reduced vehicle stability. Generally safe to drive with caution.
Start by connecting an OBD2 scanner to read the code and any freeze frame data. Then follow the diagnostic steps specific to P1658 to identify the root cause.
