DTC P0234

Turbocharger overboost condition

DETECTION CONDITION
•  PCM monitors intake boost pressure using the boost sensor. If the difference between target intake boost pressure and actual intake boost pressure is above 30.0 kPa {225 mmHg, 8.9 inHg}, PCM determines that the VBC system is over boost condition.
POSSIBLE CAUSE
•  Air suction at intake-air system (between MAF sensor and turbo charger)
•  Boost sensor characteristic malfunction
•  Guide blade actuator stuck
•  VBC solenoid valve stuck open
•  Turbocharger malfunction
•  PCM malfunction
