What is MID 147 & How to Solve It?

What is MID 147:

MID 147 refers to an issue with the Turbocharger Boost Pressure Sensor. This fault code is triggered when the ECM detects a malfunction with the turbo system’s boost pressure regulation, affecting engine performance and power output.

‍

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 caused by a malfunctioning turbocharger.
  
• ECM misinterpreting the sensor’s data.
  
  

How to Fix It:

1. Inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor for visible damage.
   
2. Test the sensor’s voltage and resistance to verify it is functioning properly.
   
3. Check wiring and connectors for visible damage or corrosion.
   
4. Replace the faulty sensor if necessary.
   
5. Inspect the turbocharger system for performance issues.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens:

• Regularly inspect the turbocharger boost pressure sensor and wiring.
  
• Maintain optimal turbocharger performance.
  
• Keep connectors clean and free from corrosion.
  
• Perform diagnostic checks to monitor turbo system health.
