How do you fix P0238 turbocharger boost sensor A circuit high?
Two of the easiest solutions are:
- Replacing internally shorted boost sensor, especially those that are not giving the right input pressure reading to the PCM.
- Repair shorts in the wiring harness.
- Secure harness from getting damaged.
- Replace damaged connectors that are causing shorts or open circuits.
How do you know a turbo is bad?
The symptoms of a damaged or failing turbo are:
- Loss of power.
- Slower, louder acceleration.
- Difficulty maintaining high speeds.
- Blue/grey smoke coming from the exhaust.
- Engine dashboard light is showing.
How does the boost sensor work in a turbocharger?
The ECM monitors the boost pressure sensor signal for voltage outside of the normal range. The ECM calculates a predicted value for the boost pressure sensor. The ECM then compares the predicted value to the actual signal. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) P0238 will set if the boost pressure sensor signal is above the predicted range.
How many volts does the boost pressure sensor use?
The boost pressure sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The ECM supplies 5 volts to the boost pressure sensor on the 5-volt reference 2 circuit and provides a ground on a low reference circuit.
How does the boost pressure sensor work on an Audi?
The boost pressure sensor has a 5-volt reference circuit, a low reference circuit, and a signal circuit. The engine control module (ECM) supplies 5 volts to the boost pressure sensor on the 5-volt reference 2 circuit, and provides a ground on a low reference circuit.
What is the code for intake boost sensor?
All our repairs are backed by our 12-month / 12,000-mile warranty. P0238 is an OBD-II generic code triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects the intake boost pressure sensor A input circuit out of specifications, indicating an open circuit or high voltage condition in the circuit.
