Hi have had a test done by the AA man he came up with P1526, P1550 and P1650, have found out these codes mean Air Bypass system, PSPS out of self test range and PSP switch out of self test range, are these things I can sort out myself as cannot find anything relating to these fault codes in manuals or on the internet What do they mean and are they expensive for a garage to repair as not much money
Thanks in advance

What is the actual fault with the vehicle ... what are the symptoms ... the codes relate to the PSPS (power steering pressure switch) ...

My vauxhall vectra 1.8LS Y reg starts first time you drive it around the corner and turn of the engine then it wont start again, this only happens if you turn of the engine after a very short journey ie under a mile, if I drive over a distance then it is fine.
So called out AA to home start me and he said it was faults P1526, P1550 and P1650.
When he did get it going it went into limp mode and then would not rev until he had cleared the faults then was fine, but when stopped and started car again the faults reappeared.
Huge thanks if you can point us in the right direction so we can do this ourselves as we cannot find anything on internet that helps.
