Circuit Description

The boost pressure sensor is fixed on the cab back frame and is connected to the intake manifold by a vacuum hose.

The boost pressure sensor generates voltage according to air pressure and the generated voltage is input to the engine control module (ECM) for the boost sensor signal.

The ECM monitors the boost pressure sensor signals for voltage outside the normal range of the boost pressure sensor. If the ECM detects a boost pressure sensor signal voltage that is excessively low, DTC 0032 will be set.

Conditions for Setting the DTC
    • When the engine stalls and the relative boost pressure is higher than 20 kPa (2.9 psi) for 1 second or more.
    • The relative boost pressure is lower than -32 kPa (-4.6 psi) for 1 second or more.

Action Taken When the DTC Sets
    • Condition for setting the DTC is based on the relative pressure of 0 kPa (0 psi).
    • Condition for setting the DTC Injection amount map is used for a fail-safe mode.

Conditions for Clearing the MIL/DTC
    • The control module turns OFF the malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) after 3 consecutive ignition cycles that the diagnostic runs and does not fail.
    • A current DTC, Last Test Failed, clears when the diagnostic runs and passes.
    • A history DTC clears after 40 consecutive warm-up cycles, if no failures are reported by this or any other emission related diagnostic.
    • Clear the MIL and the DTC with a scan tool.

DTC 0032 can be cleared by using the Clear Info on the scan tool or by using the Diag Clear Switch.

Diagnostic Aids

Inspect for the following conditions:

    • Poor connection at the ECM
        Inspect harness connectors for backed-out terminals, improper mating, broken locks, improperly formed or damaged terminals, and poor terminal-to-wire connection.
    • Damaged harness
        Inspect the wiring harness for damage, shorts to ground, shorts to battery, and open circuits. If the harness appears to be OK, observe the boost pressure display on the scan tool while moving connectors and wiring harnesses related to the boost pressure sensor. A change in the boost pressure scan tool display will indicate the location of the fault.
    • Lack of power due to injection limitation.
