P1561 · ChryslerCruise Vent Solenoid

P1561 on a Chrysler vehicle means the powertrain control module (PCM) has detected an electrical fault in the cruise control vent solenoid circuit, which is the valve that releases vacuum to disengage the cruise servo. The PCM monitors the solenoid's command and feedback circuits and sets this code when the expected voltage or current is out of range, indicating an open, short, or stuck solenoid.
