Q: What does code P1583 mean?

Transmission Mount Valves Short To B+. P1583 on Volkswagen vehicles indicates that the transmission control module (TCM) has detected a short to battery positive voltage (B+) on the circuit that controls the transmission mount valves. These valves are used to adjust the stiffness of the transmission mount for vibration reduction, and a short to B+ means the control wire is receiving constant power when it should be pulsed by the TCM.
