What does this fault code mean?

The ECM sets the MAP sensor reading against atmospheric pressure, which it takes from an atmospheric pressure sensor built into the control module. The code is stored when the boost pressure is outside permitted limits, or when the difference between boost and atmospheric pressure at ignition on is too large.

Possible causes

Contact resistance, oxidation or loose connections
Break in the signal wire
Break in the supply wire to the boost pressure sensor
Signal wire shorted to ground
Boost pressure sensor (MAP) is damaged

What you can do

1Read and note the code, clear it and road test to see whether it returns
2Check that the connector at the boost pressure sensor is fully engaged and free from oxidation and play
3With a multimeter, check that the signal and supply wires to the boost pressure sensor have no break
4With a multimeter, check that the signal wire is not shorted to ground
5If you have diagnostic equipment, compare boost pressure with atmospheric pressure in live data with the ignition on
6If the fault remains, have a workshop check the boost pressure sensor

Symptoms you may notice1

Engine warning lamp (check engine) lit or behaving abnormally

What the fault can affect1

Boost pressure is calculated instead of measured
