P0234 - Turbocharger/Supercharger A OVERBOOST Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2008 Ford Pickup, 2008 Ford F550 Super Duty, 2008 Ford F450 Super Duty, and 2008 Ford Cab & Chassis. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
P0234 - TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A OVERBOOST CONDITION

Description:  Manifold absolute pressure (MAP) sensor input to the powertrain control module (PCM) is monitored and is not within the calibrated value. A safe maximum boost level was exceeded for a calibrated period of time.
Possible Causes: 
  • MAP circuit short to voltage
  • Damaged MAP sensor
  • Damaged EP sensor
  • Turbocharger vane concerns
Diagnostic Aids:  The DTC is set and the wrench light is illuminated when the manifold gauge pressure (MGP) exceeds 245 kPa (35.5 psi). When the DTC is set, a safe boost pressure is commanded by the PCM for that drive cycle. If DTC P0238 is also set, it may be a sensor or wiring problem. If only DTC P0234 is set, it may be an exhaust back pressure control or the turbocharger sticking closed.
