P004F - OBD Trouble Code

<<See All OBD Codes

Always make sure to clean your air filter at regular intervals of time or else OBD Code P004F can trigger. It is very important to resolve this trouble code as soon as possible or else major engine damage can occur.

This trouble code usually arises when Powertrain control module is not receiving signals from the control solenoid. The other main reason behind this is that the signal might not be within the factory specifications. The “B” in this trouble code shows that the issue is within a specific portion of the system circuit. This code P004F flashes up when an erratic issue with the boost control solenoid is detected by the PCM.

What causes this problem with the Turbo/Supercharger Boost Control B Circuit Intermittent Erratic?

• Vacuum leaks
• Dirty car air filter
• Stuck waste gate
• Faults in the inter cooler
• Bad connection between the inlet and turbocharger
• Poor connection between exhaust pipe and turbocharger
• Defective boost sensor
• Failed turbocharger/supercharger
• Bad wiring or connections in the engine harness for the circuit
• Faulty PCM (Powertrain Control Module)

1. Turbocharger/supercharger - Are you facing some faults in your turbocharger/supercharger? Don’t worry and get them replaced or else P004F code can turn up.
2. Turbocharger position sensor - OBD Code P004F can appear because of faulty boost pressure/ turbocharger position sensor. Get it replaced from us as soon as possible.
3. Boost control solenoid - Everything is fine with turbocharger/supercharger and still P004F code triggering? Then you must get your boost control solenoid checked.
4. Powertrain Control Module - There can be some issues with the PCM due to which you may see P004F code appearing over and over again. Visit us to buy best quality PCM online.

It is very important to know the symptoms of an issue as only then you would be able to solve the problem. So that’s why we have listed out some major symptoms of OBD Code P004F here:

Common Symptoms

• Check Engine Light will brighten up
• Vehicle boost is over or under factory specifications
• Engine lacks power
• Increase in the amount fuel consumption
• Abnormal noises coming from the engine bay
• Black smoke coming out of the exhaust pipes

We have listed out some ways which would help you to correct the occurrence of OBD Code P004F. They are mentioned here as follows:

• Fix any vacuum leaks
• Check if your air filter is dirty, then you must replace it
• Make sure to replace wastegate
• Replace intercooler
• Make sure the connections on the intake and exhaust side of the turbo are airtight
• Repair or replace the boost sensor
• Replace turbocharger/supercharger
• Repair or replace bad wiring in the circuit
• Replace the damaged powertrain control module

There is no need to get strained if your OBD Code is still flashing up as we are here at your service. Have a look at our superior variety of PCM, Solenoid, Supercharger and many more. Now all your problems would vanish within no time.

Have a look at the procedure which would help you to easily diagnose the P004F error code. The main reason behind the flashing up of this code is that the PCM is not receiving signals from the boost control solenoid.

The other reason can be that the signal provided from the boost pressure sensor may not be as per the factory specifications. The first and foremost thing which should be done is to check the circuit by testing the power as well as ground at the solenoid. Then you must carefully check the turbocharger/supercharger by removing the intake to check if there is any sort of damage or debris. If you find any sort of debris, then the best option would be to replace the unit. Then the pressure sensor should be tested. There must be three wires going through the position sensor: power, ground and signal. The control solenoid should also be tested properly checking its internal resistance with an ohmmeter.
