Descripción

This code means the engine's computer has detected a performance issue with the system that controls the boost pressure for the turbocharger or supercharger. The system isn't able to build or maintain the correct boost level.

Causas comunes

  • Faulty turbocharger or supercharger wastegate actuator
  • Boost leak in the intake or exhaust system
  • Problem with the boost control solenoid
  • Clogged turbocharger or supercharger
  • Faulty engine control module (ECM)
  • Vacuum hose leak

Síntomas

  • Check Engine Light is on
  • Significant loss of engine power, especially under acceleration
  • Whining or hissing noise from the engine bay
  • Poor acceleration

Pasos de reparación

  1. 1 Check for vacuum hose leaks by visually inspecting all vacuum lines connected to the turbo/supercharger boost control system and replace any cracked or disconnected hoses.
  2. 2 Inspect the intake system for boost leaks, including intercooler piping, clamps, and couplers — tighten or replace any loose or damaged connections.
  3. 3 Check the boost control solenoid for proper operation by testing its electrical connector, wiring, and verifying it actuates when commanded — replace if faulty.
  4. 4 Inspect the exhaust system for leaks near the turbocharger/supercharger, as exhaust leaks can affect boost pressure readings and wastegate operation.
  5. 5 Inspect the wastegate actuator for proper movement and operation — ensure it holds vacuum/pressure and moves freely without binding, and replace if stuck or damaged.
  6. 6 Inspect the turbocharger or supercharger for signs of clogging, excessive shaft play, or damaged compressor/turbine wheels — replace or rebuild if necessary.
  7. 7 Have the engine control module (ECM) tested for proper boost control output signals and updated to the latest software calibration — replace the ECM if confirmed faulty.
