P0250


2017-10-10


Description:

  • The fault code P0248 indicates that there is a problem with the turbocharger wastegate solenoid B range or performance. The wastegate controls the amount of boost produced by the turbocharger. A failure in this system can lead to reduced power and poor engine performance.

Possible Symptoms:

  • Lack of power or reduced engine performance

  • Slow acceleration

  • Poor fuel efficiency

  • Check Engine Light (CEL) illuminated

Possible Causes:

  • Faulty wastegate solenoid

  • Open or short circuit in the wastegate solenoid circuit

  • Faulty engine control module (ECM)

Related Parts:

  • Turbocharger/Supercharger: Turbocharger compresses in more air into the engine, hence producing more power output. Problem leads to power loss

Possible Solutions:

  • Test and replace the faulty wastegate solenoid, if necessary

  • Check for any open or short circuits in the wastegate solenoid circuit and repair as needed

  • Test and replace the engine control module (ECM) if it is determined to be faulty
