Checking the connector
- Ignition off
- Check the boost pressure sensor connector. Check for contact resistance and oxidation.
Note! The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor is integrated in the boost pressure sensor
- Reinstall the components, reconnect the connectors etc.
- Ignition on
- Read off the intake air temperature (IAT).
Check that the intake air temperature (IAT) is within its permitted range. If the intake air temperature (IAT) is now within its permitted range, the fault was caused by loose connections in the connector.
Other information:
- To access or replace the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor, see Temperature and pressure sensor, replacing Service and Repair.
Is the temperature within its permitted range?
Yes - Fault Found
No - Checking the wiring and component
-------------------------------------------------
Checking the wiring and component
- Ignition off.
Check the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor resistance between terminals #1 and #2 on the boost pressure sensor.
Note! The intake air temperature (IAT) sensor may be defective if there gas been a short-circuit to supply voltage in the signal cable. Check this before replacing the sensor.
Check the signal cable between control module terminal #A5 (#A5) and boost pressure sensor terminal #2. Check for a short-circuit to supply voltage. Check for an open-circuit.
Hint: With the ignition on and the boost pressure sensor connector disconnected, the voltage between terminal #2 and ground must be approximately 5 V.
Check the ground lead between control module terminal #A60 (#A60) and boost pressure sensor terminal #1. Check for an open-circuit.
If no errors are found and the fault is permanent, replace the intake air temperature (IAT) sensor.
Remedy as necessary.

The fault should have been detected and remedied. As this is not the case fault-tracing has failed.
Exit fault-tracing for this diagnostic trouble code (DTC) or make another attempt.

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