Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Sensor "A" Circuit
The ECU detected an electrical fault in the primary (A) boost pressure sensor circuit. The signal does not match plausibility checks against MAP, RPM, and load. With no boost feedback, the ECU typically limits boost via the wastegate.
Affected components
- Boost pressure sensor
- Boost sensor wiring
- Turbocharger
Common causes
- High likelihood: Boost pressure sensor failed
- Medium likelihood: Wiring or connector fault
Possible symptoms
- Check engine light on
- Significant power loss / limp mode
- Possible blue or black smoke from exhaust
- Whistling or hissing sound from intake
Diagnostic notes
- The malfunction indicator lamp may illuminate
- This code can affect emissions
- Reduced-power or limp mode may occur
