50i Boost Pressure Sensor

[JoeyBimX5din]

So I popped a CEL and reduced power the other day, hooked up Reingold, found a 'boost pressure sensor' code. Where is this located? What is it? Is this the MAP sensor?

Thanks for the help guys.

anyone? I think this is the MAP sensor maybe?

Rheingold would usually suggest a test plan for codes.
I think you need to click "Calculate test plan" or something after reading codes.

The test plan would normally then provide documentation on the sensor.

I wasn't the one using it, a friend of mine was handling it, so I didn't get into much with it. I didn't want to force the issue, as he was just doing me a favor, I figured I could just find out here or somewhere, but its proving trickier then I thought.

I know the code was exclusive to a bad 'boost sensor 2' reading. In whatever he clicked on, it had said to check the sensor, but that's as far as we went, I have found it in the N63 workbook, but cant seem to find it for sale anywhere.

04. Pressure sensor 13627585492 $123.45

ouch.

Guess I will figure out witch bank is coding, I think it was 2, but I could be wrong.

p.s. thanks for that link, that is the kind of parts catalog I needed.

I would replace bank 1 and 2 while you're in there

[JoeyBimX5din]

they are on opposite sides, why would I replace both banks at once? They are also 123$ a piece, so I hesitate to toss two sensors at the motor.
