Boost Pressure Demand

While crankshaft is stationary or rotating.

Current function that is temporarily limiting boost pressure. Note that low gear is not indicated.

0=Boost pressure

1=Knock control 2=Brakes on 3=Pressure sensor malfunction 4=Battery voltage 5=APC valve

If boost pressure is lower than expected, you can see here if the control module is requesting a low pressure. If there is nothing limiting the pressure and the correct gear is indicated, the control module has received the correct information and is attempting to control the boost pressure. Look for a fault from pins 2 and 26 and on to the turbocharger.
