What is CID 1109 & How to Solve It?

What is CID 1109:

CID 1109 refers to a problem with the turbo boost control circuit. Improper boost control can lead to overboost or underboost, affecting engine performance and fuel economy.

‍

Why This Happens:

• Faulty turbo boost control valve actuator.
  
• Shorted or damaged wiring.
  
• Clogged or restricted boost control lines.
  
• Malfunctioning turbo actuator.
  
• ECM failure to interpret boost data.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the turbo boost control valve actuator and wiring.
   
2. Test the actuator’s voltage and output.
   
3. Clean boost control lines and ensure proper airflow.
   
4. Replace the actuator if it is faulty.
   
5. Verify proper turbo boost control after repairs.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Clean turbo components regularly during maintenance.
  
• Monitor turbo boost levels using diagnostics.
  
• Inspect boost control lines for restrictions.
  
• Clue’s fleet management software helps track turbo performance and ensures optimal boost control for consistent engine power.
