Vauxhall 2001
Vectra B 1.8 Z18XE
engine management: Simtec 71 ???
Engine Electronics warning light shows after several minutes driving
I read the fault code as 1555 (by depressing the brake & accelerator pedals & ignition)
Does anyone know what this code means & how to fix it.

Thanks

The code P1555 means "Throttle Position sensor/Mass Air Flow sensor - Implausible Signal"

Found via a quick google. The following may also help:-

That aside, I wasn't aware the "brake, accelerator pedals" trick worked on this era of Vectra. I thought it only worked on the Mk5 Astra.
