P004D

Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control B Circuit High

Boost control B circuit voltage above expected range. Same as P0048 on actuator B. Boost control tracks commanded vs. actual manifold pressure; persistent deviation means wastegate, vanes, hose or actuator are not delivering the requested pressure.

  • Check engine light: Yes
  • Emissions related: Yes
  • Repair difficulty: medium

Symptoms

  • Charge status indicator shows fault
  • Charging may not start or interrupts
  • Slower-than-expected charge rate

Common causes

Ordered by how often each turns out to be the cause.

  • Wiring shorted to batteryCommon
  • Connector pins corroded - high contact resistanceLess likely
  • Supply wire pinched against B+ sourceLess likely

Parts involved

  • Boost Control Solenoid B
  • Actuator Wiring
