Q: What does code P1485 mean?

Air Injection Solenoid Circuit Open Or Shorted. P1485 on a Chrysler vehicle means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an open or shorted circuit in the air injection solenoid, which controls the flow of secondary air into the exhaust during cold starts. The PCM monitors the solenoid's electrical circuit and sets this code when the voltage falls outside the expected range, indicating a wiring fault, a failed solenoid, or a problem inside the PCM driver.
