DTC P0237 Turbocharger Boost Sensor Circuit Low Voltage (Figure OBD-39)

Figure OBD-39: Turbocharger Boost Sensor Circuit

Circuit Description

The boost pressure sensor measures the pressure inside the intake manifold. Pressure in the intake manifold is affected by turbo-
charger output, engine speed, accelerator pedal input, air temperature, and barometric pressure (BARO). A diaphragm within the
boost pressure sensor is displaced by the pressure changes that occur from the varying load and operating conditions of the engine.
The sensor translates this action into electrical resistance. The boost pressure sensor wiring includes 3 circuits. The engine control
module (ECM) supplies a regulated 5 volts to the sensor on a 5-volt reference circuit. The ECM supplies a ground on a low refer-
ence circuit. The boost pressure sensor provides a signal voltage to the ECM, relative to the pressure changes, on the boost pressure
sensor signal circuit. The ECM converts the signal voltage input to a pressure value.

Under normal operation, the lowest pressure that can exist in the intake manifold is equal to the BARO. This occurs when the vehi-
cle is operating at idle or when the ignition is ON, while the engine is OFF. Under these conditions, the ECM uses the boost pres-
sure sensor to aid in diagnosis of the BARO sensor. The highest manifold pressures occur when the turbocharger output is high.
Manifold pressure can range from 58 kPa (8 psi) when pressure are low, to more than 240 kPa (34 psi) when pressures are high, de-
pending on the BARO. The boost pressure sensor has a range of 33-255 kPa (4-36 psi). The ECM also uses the boost pressure sen-
sor to provide engine overboost protection. The ECM monitors the boost pressure sensor signal for pressure outside of the normal
range. If the ECM detects a boost pressure sensor signal pressure that is excessively low, DTC P0237 sets.

Conditions for Setting the DTC

The boost pressure is less than 37 kPa (5 psi) for 2 seconds.

_____________________________________________

Action Taken When the DTC Sets

• The control module illuminates the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) on the second consecutive ignition cycle that the diag-

nostic runs and fails.

• The control module records the operating conditions at the time the diagnostic fails. The first time the diagnostic fails, the

control module stores this information in the Failure Records. If the diagnostic reports a failure on the second consecu-
tive ignition cycle, the control module records the operating conditions at the time of the failure. The control module
writes the operating conditions to the Freeze Frame and updates the Failure Records.

• The ECM limits fuel delivery.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC

• The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic

runs and does not fail.

• A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.

• A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related

diagnostic.

• Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.
