P0035Turbocharger/Supercharger Bypass Valve A Control Circuit High
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- The turbocharger bypass valve A is the compressor recirculation (diverter) valve: it connects the pressure side of the compressor with the intake side upstream of the turbocharger. It opens when the throttle closes quickly at high boost, so the compressor does not surge and the compressor wheel keeps its speed for the next acceleration. It is not the wastegate, which bypasses exhaust gas around the turbine and has its own codes. The valve is either electric or a vacuum unit controlled by a solenoid. P0035 means the voltage at the control output is too high, typically a short to battery voltage; on some engines an intermittent break in the harness has also set this code.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Fluttering or hissing when lifting off the throttle if the valve stays closed
- Weak response after gear changes
- Too little boost if the valve stays open
- Likely causes
- LikelyControl wire shorted to battery voltage
- PossibleLoose contact or broken wire, e.g. harness vibrating from heat
- PossibleSolenoid coil faulty
- RareOutput driver in the engine control module faulty
- Inspection (ITP)
- Matters for the ITP. While the check-engine light is on, the car fails the emissions check.
- Repair
- Medium · Often possible to do yourself.Typical cost: €50 – €350
