DTC 62 - Turbo Boost Sensor CKT Low - "P" Series: Notes
The PCM sends a 5-volt reference signal to the boost sensor. As manifold pressure changes, the electrical resistance of the boost sensor also changes. By monitoring the sensor output voltage, PCM detects how much pressure is being produced by the turbocharger in the intake manifold. The PCM uses the boost sensor to control turbo boost and fuel at different loads. DTC 62 will set when boost signal voltage is less than .8 volt. PCM will default to no turbo boost and limited fuel.
- This step determines if DTC 62 is the result of a hard failure or an intermittent condition.
- This step simulates conditions for DTC 61. If the PCM recognizes the change, then the PCM, and the 5-volt reference circuit and the boost signal circuit are okay.

When to See a Mechanic
Stop DIY work and contact a certified mechanic immediately if any of the following apply:
- • You smell fuel, burning insulation, or see smoke.
- • Brakes feel soft, pull hard to one side, or make grinding noises.
- • The engine overheats, stalls repeatedly, or misfires under load.
- • You are missing required tools, torque specs, or safe lifting equipment.
- • You are not confident in the next step or safety outcome.
