What is CID 1077 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1077:

CID 1077 refers to an issue with the turbocharger speed sensor circuit. When the sensor fails, the ECM cannot properly control turbo speed, resulting in overboost or underboost conditions.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty turbo speed sensor.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring in the sensor circuit.
  
• Corroded or loose connectors.
  
• Malfunctioning turbo actuator.
  
• ECM misinterpretation of sensor data.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the turbo speed sensor and wiring for damage.
   
2. Test the sensor’s voltage output during engine operation.
   
3. Check for any blockages in the turbo system.
   
4. Replace the sensor if it fails to provide correct readings.
   
5. Recalibrate the turbo system and verify proper boost levels.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Monitor turbo speed regularly during diagnostics.
  
• Clean turbo system components as part of routine maintenance.
  
• Inspect wiring and connectors periodically.
  
• Clue’s fleet management software helps monitor turbo systems to prevent boost issues before they affect performance.
