Standard definition

Turbocharger Bypass Valve Control Circuit High

This code is in our catalogue but has not yet been through editorial review, so the guidance below is limited to what our structured data supports. We publish deeper diagnostic content only after a code has been reviewed — here is why.

In plain English

The bypass valve solenoid control circuit reports a voltage above threshold, indicating a short to power or open circuit. Boost control is disabled while the fault is active.

A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.

Symptoms you may notice
  • Charge status indicator shows fault
  • Charging may not start or interrupts
  • Slower-than-expected charge rate

Many vehicles show no symptom at all beyond the warning light. The absence of a symptom does not mean the fault is not real.
