- Boost control reverts to open-loop
- Turbo may over-speed without protection
- Conservative boost map applied
- Reduced performance
- Turbo surge protection disabled
Common Causes
- Speed sensor failure
- Sensor wiring damage from heat
- Corroded sensor connector
- Sensor gap incorrect
- Electromagnetic interference from ignition
Diagnostic Steps
- Read turbo shaft speed PID
- Check sensor connector at turbo housing
- Test sensor signal with oscilloscope
- Verify sensor air gap
- Inspect wiring routing near ignition coils
Repair Notes
Replace turbo shaft speed sensor. Verify proper air gap to reluctor. Route wiring away from ignition components.
