P1660 on 1994-1999 Acura Integra (LS, GS, RS, Special Edition) — Output Circuit Check Signal High
1 vehicles · 1 makes · $150-$3,500 repair
Most Reported On
P1660 is an OBD-II diagnostic trouble code meaning “Output Circuit Check Signal High.” This is a manufacturer-specific code (seen on Ford and some GM applications) indicating the computer detected an abnormally high voltage on an output circuit monitoring line, suggesting a controlled output (such as a solenoid or relay driver) is not switching as expected. It generally reflects an electrical/circuit problem between the PCM and the device it controls rather than a mechanical failure. Symptoms vary widely depending on which output is affected. Because exact behavior is manufacturer-specific, confirming the definition for the specific vehicle is recommended. This code is most commonly reported on 1994-1999 Acura Integra (LS, GS, RS, Special Edition), with repair costs ranging from $150 to $3,500.
