What is MID 141:
MID 141 refers to an issue with the Turbocharger Boost Pressure Sensor. The ECM is receiving an incorrect signal from the sensor, which can lead to improper turbo boost regulation, causing 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.
- Low or high boost pressure due to a malfunctioning turbocharger.
- ECM misinterpreting the sensor’s signal.
How to Fix It:
- Inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor for visible damage or malfunction.
- Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to verify it’s working properly.
- Check wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
- Replace the faulty turbocharger boost pressure sensor if necessary.
- Inspect the turbocharger system for performance issues such as low or high boost pressure.
How to Avoid It Before It Happens:
- Regularly inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor and wiring.
- Perform routine maintenance on the turbocharger system.
- Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
- Perform diagnostic checks to monitor turbo system health.
- Clue’s Equipment Maintenance services help monitor turbocharger performance and prevent sensor-related issues from affecting engine operation.
