on 2008 Mazda Mazda3 2.3L I4 · FWD
What this code means
The turbo bypass valve (diverter valve/blow-off valve) control circuit has a malfunction. The bypass valve recirculates pressurized air during throttle closure.
Symptoms
- Check Engine Light
- Compressor surge on deceleration
- Flutter noise from turbo
- Reduced boost response after throttle lift
- Check Engine Light after spirited driving
Common causes
- Faulty bypass valve solenoid
- Torn bypass valve diaphragm
- Wiring issue to solenoid
- Vacuum line leak
- PCM driver failure
Diagnostic steps
- Test bypass valve solenoid resistance
- Inspect vacuum lines to bypass valve
- Command solenoid with scan tool
- Check valve diaphragm for tears
- Inspect wiring and connector
Repair notes
Replace bypass valve or solenoid. Inspect vacuum hoses for cracks.
