DTC 61, Turbo Boost Sensor Circuit High - "P" Series: Notes

PCM sends a 5-volt reference signal to boost sensor. As manifold pressure changes, electrical resistance of boost sensor also changes. By monitoring sensor output voltage, PCM detects how much pressure is being produced by turbocharger in intake manifold. PCM uses boost sensor to control turbo boost and fuel at different loads. DTC 61 will set when:

• Boost signal voltage is greater than 3.9 volts.
• RPM is less than 3500. PCM will default to no turbo boost and poor performance.
  NOTE: Test numbers refer to numbers on diagnostic chart.

1. This step determines if DTC 61 is result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.
2. This step simulates conditions for DTC 62. If PCM recognizes change, then PCM and boost signal circuit are okay.
3. This step checks for an open in ground circuit.
