When does a boost pressure sensor go bad?
This code is triggered when the Engine Control Module (ECM) detects that the boost pressure sensor does not match the specification as the manifold pressure sensor (MAP) or the barometric pressure sensor (BARO) when the engine is idle.
What do you need to know about boost sensor?
A boost pressure sensor is a part of a turbocharged engine that measures and regulates the air pressure and controls the boost. Here are the most common symptoms. Ask a mechanic
What happens when the turbo boost sensor is damaged?
The turbo boost pressure sensor is damaged and responding relatively slower to changing pressure. When the P0236 code is triggered, the PCM reacts by entering into an engine management failure mode, as it ignores the real manifold pressure reading and assumes another reading, limiting the engine capability.
What to do if your ECM has a bad boost sensor?
Remove and replace the boost sensor if it is providing the ECM with an incorrect pressure reading. Check the hoses and connections to the turbo boost sensor and see if they are clogged or have any blockages. In that case, cleaning these connections will solve the problem.
