Code E161

Power amplifier could not detect presence of lower valve coil.

Possible cause/corrective action:

Lower valve missing.
Open or short circuit in lower valve or wiring; master control relay missing or stuck open; main contactor open circuit (especially after it has closed); communication error due to PMT. Allow PMT to reboot before turning truck ON. Bad power amplifier.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
