Standard definition

Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control B Supply Voltage Circuit Low

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

Supply voltage feeding boost control actuator B is below the expected range. Likely fuse, supply wiring or relay fault.

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