What is SPN 102 & How to Solve It?

What is SPN 102:

SPN 102 indicates a fault with the Boost Pressure Sensor Circuit. This sensor monitors the pressure of the air entering the engine’s intake manifold, which is essential for optimizing combustion, engine performance, and fuel efficiency. A fault with this sensor can lead to inaccurate boost pressure readings and engine performance issues.

‍

Why This Happens

Common causes include:

• Faulty or failing boost pressure sensor.
  
• Damaged, loose, or corroded wiring or connectors.
  
• Leaks or restrictions in the intake or boost system.
  
• Faulty Engine Control Module (ECM) or sensor calibration errors.

‍

How to Fix It

To resolve this fault:

1. Inspect the boost pressure sensor and wiring for damage or corrosion.
   
2. Check the intake and boost system for leaks or blockages.
   
3. Test the sensor voltage and replace if faulty.
   
4. Repair or replace damaged wiring or connectors.
   
5. Clear the fault code and verify sensor readings and engine performance.
   
   

How to Avoid It Before It Happens

Prevent this fault by:

• Regularly inspecting the boost pressure sensor and intake system.
  
• Maintaining a sealed intake system free of leaks or restrictions.
  
• Performing routine diagnostics to detect sensor or wiring issues early.
