Signal Too Low - Permanent Fault
ECM-1600 BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR
SIGNAL TOO LOW - PERMANENT FAULT
Checking component and wiring
Check signal cable between control module #A23 (#A23) and boost pressure sensor terminal 1 for a short-circuit to ground according to [1][2]Checking Wiring and Terminals. Permanent Fault
Hint: With the ignition on and boost pressure sensor connector disconnected the voltage between terminal 1 and ground terminal should be approximately 5 V.
Remedy as necessary.
Other information
- Connecting the breakout box/accessing the control module Connecting the Breakout Box (ECM)
- To access/replace the boost pressure sensor, Manifold Absolute Pressure (MAP) Sensor, Replacing
- For information about signals, see Diagnostic Parameters and Pinout Values. Signal Description, ME7, B5XX4T
Verification
Hint: After carrying out the repair, check that the fault has been remedied.
- Ignition off.
- Reconnect connectors, reinstall components
- Ignition on.
- Read boost pressure sensor signal.
With the ignition on voltage should be approximately 1.9 V.
Is the signal OK?
Yes - Testing Complete.
No - Continue below.
Fault-tracing information
The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed. Exit fault tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.
