What is MID 114:
MID 114 refers to an issue with the Turbocharger Boost Pressure Sensor. This fault code occurs when the ECM detects an out-of-range signal, which can affect boost pressure regulation and lead to poor engine performance, reduced power, or inefficient fuel economy.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty turbocharger boost pressure sensor.
- Shorted or damaged wiring in the sensor circuit.
- Loose or corroded sensor connectors.
- Malfunctioning turbocharger affecting boost pressure.
- ECM failure to interpret sensor data correctly.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor for visible damage or malfunction.
- Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to ensure it is functioning properly.
- Check the wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
- Replace the faulty sensor if necessary.
- Inspect the turbocharger system for issues affecting boost pressure.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor and wiring.
- Maintain turbocharger health and clean the system as needed.
- Keep connectors clean and corrosion-free.
- Perform diagnostic checks to monitor sensor and turbo system performance.
- Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services track turbocharger health and ensure sensor functionality to prevent issues before they impact engine performance.
