P1241 code + limp mode

Anyone that could help me with this one? Google does not give me anything on this. But i managed to find this:

http://www.skpang.co.uk/dtc_list.htm

According to this list the code is P1241 Sensor Power Supply Low Input. Witch sensor?

Thanks

Hmm... odd that I can't find anything. How friendly are you with your dealer? I'm betting with your mods they will be less than happy to fix anything under warranty

i got this same code one day about 2 weeks ago. i was driving up a bridge on ramp trying to pass a car at part throttle and the car pretty much died. the engine was running and the rps would go up but no power to the wheels. so i pulled over on the other side of the bridge and turned the car off and then back on and it was fine except for the CEL. so i pulled the code and then did a search as you did. i couldn't find much at all. then i did a search of evom and found a guy in the lancer forums that turboed his car and keeps getting this code. he says "i have problem with dtc 1241, too much air go in for % of the pedal accelerator" so too much air for throttle position. which would make sense for what happened to me. up an on ramp accelerating with a higher load than usual due to the incline and part throttle. so when is your car throwing this code?

LOL, almost exact same setting. Entering the high-way uphill on-ramp... was getting ready to pass the truck infront, but just like yours did. no engine power. blinkers on and into the side of the road. shut off and restart. everything ok exept the SES light.

How do we prevent it so we can pass cars safely?

Wow that could be disaster on a road course. Is this different from eliminating the part throttle overboost safety feature? I'll be running lower boost at Watkins Glen but is this triggered by higher boost settings?

when mine happened i was at like maybe 5 to 8 psi. i think it was the load that made it throw the code.

Torque limit exceeded ..

A few things that will throw this ..

Aftermarket VTA ..
Untuned with the boost increased ..
Tuned but the tuner doesn't know how to remove some of the limiters ..

This code is cool .. tells you you're making good power
And then it dumps on you

When it happened to me, I just cleared the code with my COBB AP.

Get a code reader that can clear, it will fix it for you.
