DTC P0238-00: Boost Pressure Sensor Circuit High Input: Notes

DTC P0238:00 (PCM, SKYACTIV-G (VIN Y)) DETECTION CONDITION AND POSSIBLE CAUSE

DTC P0238:00 Boost pressure sensor circuit high input
DETECTION CONDITION  
  • The PCM monitors the input voltage from the boost pressure sensor. If the input voltage at the PCM terminal 2AS is above 4.89 V for 5 s, the PCM determines that the boost pressure sensor circuit has a malfunction.

Diagnostic support note
  • This is a continuous monitor (CCM).
  • The check engine light illuminates if the PCM detects the above malfunction condition during the first drive cycle.
  • FREEZE FRAME DATA/Snapshot data is available.
  • DTC is stored in the PCM memory.
FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION  
  • Stop the supercharging pressure control. (fully open the wastegate valve)
POSSIBLE CAUSE  
  • Boost pressure sensor/boost air temperature sensor connector or terminals malfunction
  • PCM connector or terminals malfunction
  • Boost pressure sensor malfunction
  • Short to power supply in wiring harness between boost pressure sensor/boost air temperature sensor terminal D and PCM terminal 2AS
  • Open circuit in wiring harness between the following terminals:
  • Boost pressure sensor/boost air temperature sensor terminal C-PCM terminal 2AE
  • Boost pressure sensor/boost air temperature sensor terminal D-PCM terminal 2AS
    • Boost pressure sensor/boost air temperature sensor terminal A-PCM terminal 2J
  • PCM malfunction

CAUTION:
  • Verify the malfunction symptom according to not only the PID value but also the symptom troubleshooting.
