What is MID 117:
MID 117 refers to an issue with the Turbocharger System. This fault occurs when the ECM detects problems with the turbo system, which could affect turbo boost pressure regulation, leading to engine performance issues such as reduced power or fuel efficiency.
Why This Happens:
- Faulty turbocharger boost pressure sensor.
- Malfunctioning turbocharger.
- Shorted or damaged wiring in the turbo system circuit.
- Corroded or loose connectors in the turbo system.
- ECM failure to interpret turbo system data correctly.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the turbocharger and its components for damage or malfunction.
- Test the turbocharger boost pressure sensor for proper functionality.
- Check wiring and connectors for damage or corrosion.
- Replace the faulty sensor or turbocharger components if necessary.
- Inspect the air intake system and exhaust for blockages or damage.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the turbocharger system for wear and damage.
- Maintain the turbocharger to ensure it performs optimally.
- Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
- Perform routine diagnostic checks to monitor turbo system health.
- Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services track turbocharger systems to prevent malfunctions before they affect engine performance.
