What does this fault code mean?
The engine control module (ECM) controls a bypass valve (ABVR) that reduces the sound spikes heard when the throttle is closed quickly. The code is set when pressure pulses occur in the boost pressure.
Possible causes
- The turbo control valve bypass is damaged
What you can do
- 1Check that the hoses to the boost pressure system are not cracked, loose or chafed.
- 2Check that the connector to the bypass valve is secure and free from corrosion.
- 3During a test drive, release the accelerator quickly and listen whether the noise follows.
- 4If you have a diagnostic tool, activate the bypass valve and listen for it opening and closing.
- 5If the fault remains, have a workshop check the bypass valve and its control.
Symptoms you may notice2
- A noise may be heard, and it may be noticeable all the time or only now and then
- A noise is heard during acceleration
What the fault can affect1
- A chirping sound may occur
