Someone please tell me what this error code is



Read errors with INPA and I have no idea what they are..
The CEL comes on with the first error, dealer said it just needs software update but wanted to see if anybody had any idea.

Is this the F1 description? Why not hit F2 and see?

Here's the F2 'detailed' but it doesn't really tell much...

Yes, it does. The 1st entry tells you that you have a thermostat or temperature issue. The 2nd code tells you that you have a voltage problem.

Look up the P160D code and see what you find. You'll need to do some research on your own. It's not going to tell you how to fix it if that's what you're looking for.

You'd need to setup DIS on a VM and get it working with EDIABAS if you want to pull error codes AND have instructions on the most likely cause of the fault and how to fix it.

I would address the low voltage issue first. 11.44V is WAY too low. It may be causing the first fault to appear.

What version of INPA are you using?

Is there a step by step instruction on how to setup DIS on a VM?

I'm not sure what version it is.. but it's the version I downloaded from the link at the coding section here.
What does low voltage mean? Does it mean my battery is dying?
I've been doing some coding recently and I'm thinking that might been when it threw the code because I was on battery for too long.
I cleared the error and the second error does not come back anymore so it might not be a real problem.
