P01FATurbocharger Outlet Pressure Sensor B Circuit
- Generic OBD-II code · Powertrain
- Turns on the check-engine light
- Matters for the ITP
- Can trigger limp mode
- Needs a drive cycle to confirm a fix
- How the car detects it
- Turbocharger outlet pressure sensor B is a second pressure sensor at a compressor outlet – for example one per turbo on twin-turbo engines or a second measuring point; sensor A has the codes P00F8–P00FC. It is a separate family from the boost pressure sensor: GM and Ford report the pressure ahead of the throttle under the boost sensor codes P0236–P0238. No manufacturer using the sensor B codes was found; FCA documents sensor A and a second outlet sensor. P01FA is the general electrical fault that the module does not classify as low or high. Without a plausible actual pressure, boost control usually limits boost.
- What you may notice
- Check engine light on
- Loss of power, boost limited
- Limp mode possible
- Likely causes
- LikelyConnector or pins at sensor B loose or corroded
- PossibleHarness damaged (5 V reference, signal, ground)
- PossibleSensor faulty
- RareEngine module or 5 V supply disturbed
- 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 – €250
