Left Engine Mount Solenoid Valve Short To Ground. P1572 on Volkswagen vehicles means the engine control module (ECM) has detected a short to ground on the electrical circuit for the left engine mount solenoid valve. This solenoid is part of an active engine mount that stiffens or softens to reduce vibration, and the ECM monitors the circuit for abnormal current flow. The code sets when the control wire is grounded when it should not be, often due to a damaged wire or failed solenoid.
