Q: What does code P1245 mean?

Intake Plenum Switchover Valve. P1245 on a GM vehicle indicates that the powertrain control module has detected an electrical fault in the intake plenum switchover valve circuit, which controls a flap that alters intake runner length for better low-end torque and high-rpm power. The computer monitors the valve's command circuit and sets this code when the expected voltage or current feedback does not match what it commanded.
