P0243: Supercharger (Boost) Bypass Solenoid Circuit Malfunction

WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 30 other vehicles, including the 2004 Mercury Sable, 2004 Mercury Mountaineer, 2004 Mercury Monterey, 2004 Mercury Marauder, and 2004 Mercury Grand Marquis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0243 - SUPERCHARGER (BOOST) BYPASS SOLENOID CIRCUIT MALFUNCTION

Description:  The PCM monitors the supercharger (boost) bypass (SCB) solenoid circuit for an electrical failure. The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified SCB solenoid duty cycle (100% or 0%) by PCM command.
Possible Causes: 
  • VPWR circuit open to SCB solenoid.
  • SCB solenoid circuit shorted to PWR GND or CHASSIS GND.
  • Damaged SCB solenoid.
  • SCB solenoid circuit open.
  • SCB solenoid circuit shorted to VPWR.
  • Damaged PCM.
Diagnostic Aids:  Disconnect SCB solenoid. Connect test lamp to SCB solenoid harness connector. Cycle SCB driver in PCM by Output Test Mode. Test lamp cycle on and off - SCB solenoid is suspect. Test lamp always on - SCB signal short in harness or PCM. Test always off - SCB signal or VPWR open in harness or PCM.
