Usually safe to drive short distances, but the fault will not clear itself and can worsen or fail an emissions test.
Turbocharger/Supercharger Bypass Valve C Temperature Too 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.
The third bypass valve has reached over-temperature. Either coil duty cycle is too high for too long, or cooling air flow around the valve is restricted.
A trouble code records what a control module measured. It does not identify which part failed. Test before replacing anything.

Many vehicles show no symptom at all beyond the warning light. The absence of a symptom does not mean the fault is not real.
| # | Cause | How often | Component |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Sustained high duty cycle from charge balancing strategy | Very common | — |
| 2 | Cooling air channel blocked by debris | Common | — |
Ordering reflects how often each cause is responsible in general, not a probability for your vehicle. Confirm by testing.
