DTC P00CF:  Turbocharger Boost Sensor Incorrect Correlation

General Description

The barometric pressure (BARO) sensor, the manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor, and the turbocharger boost sensor are equipped to the vehicle to detect air pressure conditions to the engine. The BARO sensor value and the turbocharger boost sensor value shows similar value at range "A" such as in idle conditions, and the turbocharger boost sensor value and MAP sensor value shows similar value at range "B" such as in high throttle position.

Malfunction determinations are done by the powertrain control module (PCM) in two ranges by comparing the pressure sensor values.

Monitor Execution, Sequence, Duration, DTC Type 

Execution Once per driving cycle
Sequence None
Duration 7.8 seconds or more
DTC Type Two drive cycles, MIL on

Enable Conditions 

Condition Minimum Maximum
Elapsed time after starting the engine 3.0 seconds -
Engine speed [ Engine Speed] 620 RPM -
Intake air amount - 9.8 g/second (0.345 oz./second)
Other At idle
[ ]: HDS Parameter

Malfunction Threshold 

The difference between the BARO sensor value and the turbocharger boost sensor value is 26.7 kPa (200.0 mmHg, 7.88 inHg) or more for at least 7.8 seconds.

Possible Cause 

NOTE:

The causes shown may not be a complete list of all potential problems, and it is possible that there may be other causes.

  • BARO sensor output range/performance problem
  • Turbocharger boost sensor output range/performance problem

Confirmation Procedure 

Operating Condition 

GHH554635Courtesy of HONDA, U.S.A., INC.
  1. Start the engine. Hold the engine speed [ Engine Speed] at 3000 RPM without load (in P or N) until the radiator fan comes on.
  2. Let the engine idle for at least 7.8 seconds.
  3. Drive the vehicle at engine speed [ Engine Speed] 1700 RPM or more with throttle position 45 deg. or more for at least 4 seconds.

With the HDS 

None.

Diagnosis Details 

Conditions for setting the DTC 

When a malfunction is detected during the first drive cycle, a Pending DTC is stored in the PCM memory. If the malfunction returns in the next (second) drive cycle, the MIL comes on and a Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot are stored.

Conditions for clearing the DTC 

The MIL is cleared if the malfunction does not return in three consecutive trips in which the diagnostic runs. The MIL, the Pending DTC, the Confirmed DTC, the freeze data, and the on-board snapshot can be cleared with the scan tool Clear command or by disconnecting the 12 volt battery.
