Component Details:
Boost pressure sensor consists of a silicon chip mounted inside a reference chamber. On one side of the chip is the
Reference chamber and on the other side is the pressure to be measured. The electrical resistance of the chip varies with
the variation of pressure. This change in resistance alters the voltage signal. ECM interprets the voltage signal as
Pressure and any change in voltage signal change in pressure.
Preliminary Checks:
1. Check whether the customer voice / view about the issue is matching with the fault effects mentioned above.
If yes, go ahead with next steps. If not, check for other DTC’s presence.
2. Check whether similar complaints are earlier reported. If yes, perform the preliminary checks with respect to
earlier issue closure.
3. Inlet Air Circuit Clogging?
4. VGT Actuator faulty?
5. Turbo charger Faulty?
6. Loose/ Damaged Connections between Boost Pressure Sensor and EMS ECU.
7. Check for back out of pins at both Boost Pressure Sensor connector and ECU connector.
8. Check for damage of pins at both Boost Pressure sensor connector and ECU connector.
9. Atmospheric pressure sensor faulty?
