  Yes
  - Go To 3
  No
  - Repair or replace the Air Cleaner Box (as needed) and/or repair the connection between the Air Cleaner Box and the Inlet Air Tube.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR WITH THE SCAN TOOL
1. Connect the scan tool.
2. Monitor the Boost Pressure.
  Is the value less than 4.0 psi?
  
  Yes
  - Go To 4
  No
  - Replace the Temperature/Pressure MAP Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, MAP, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
VERIFY THE ACCURACY OF THE BOOST PRESSURE SENSOR WITH A MECHANICAL GAUGE
1. Turn the ignition off.
2. Connect a mechanical intake manifold pressure gauge to the engine.
3. Turn the ignition on.
4. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
5. Start the engine.
6. Compare the boost pressure reading on the scan tool to the reading on the mechanical intake manifold pressure gauge.
  NOTE:
  The engine may need to be loaded before the pressure readings can be compared.
  
  Is the pressure difference greater than 2.5 psi between the scan tool and the mechanical gauge reading?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Temperature/Pressure MAP Sensor in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to SENSOR, MAP, REMOVAL .
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 5
CHECK FOR PERFORMANCE ENHANCEMENTS
1. Unapproved software calibrations or Unauthorized Performance Enhancements can set this DTC.
  Is there evidence of unapproved software calibrations or Unauthorized Performance Enhancements?
  
  Yes
  - Repair Complete.
  - Perform the POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Go To 6
POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE
1. Disconnect all PCM harness connectors.
2. Disconnect all related in-line harness connections (if equipped).
3. Disconnect the related component harness connectors.
4. Inspect harness connectors, component connectors, and all male and female terminals for the following conditions:
  - Proper connector installation.
  - Damaged connector locks.
  - Corrosion.
  - Other signs of water intrusion.
  - Weather seal damage (if equipped).
  - Bent terminals.
  - Overheating due to a poor connection (terminal may be discolored due to excessive current draw).
  - Terminals that have been pushed back into the connector cavity.
  - Perform a terminal drag test on each connector terminal to verify proper terminal tension.
  Repair any conditions that are found.
5. Reconnect all PCM harness connectors. Be certain that all harness connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
6. Reconnect all in-line harness connectors (if equipped). Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
7. Reconnect all related component harness connectors. Be certain that all connectors are fully seated and the connector locks are fully engaged.
8. With the scan tool, erase DTCs.
9. Using the recorded Freeze Frame and Environmental Data, along with the When Monitored and Set Conditions above, operate the vehicle in the conditions that set the DTC.
10. With the scan tool, read PCM DTCs.
  Did the DTC return?
  
  Yes
  - Replace the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) in accordance with the Service Information. Refer to MODULE, POWERTRAIN CONTROL (PCM), REMOVAL .
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
  No
  - Test complete.
  - Perform the PCM VERIFICATION TEST. Refer to POWERTRAIN VERIFICATION TEST .
