Turbocharger Outlet Pressure Sensor A/B Correlation
Turbocharger outlet pressure sensors A and B disagree beyond plausible deviation. Boost control tracks commanded vs. actual manifold pressure; persistent deviation means wastegate, vanes, hose or actuator are not delivering the requested pressure.
Affected components
- Turbo outlet pressure sensor a
- Turbo outlet pressure sensor b
Common causes
- High likelihood: One sensor drifted
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
- A drive cycle may be required after repair
