DTC P0299: Turbocharger/Supercharger A UNDERBOOST Condition

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.
P0299 - TURBOCHARGER/SUPERCHARGER A UNDERBOOST CONDITION

Description:  The powertrain control module (PCM) continuously monitors the turbocharger system for an underboost condition.
The PCM checks for a minimum throttle intake pressure (TIP) PID reading during engine operation, which indicates an underboost condition. This DTC sets when the PCM detects that the actual throttle intake pressure is less than the desired throttle intake pressure by 27.6 kPa (4 psi) or more for 5 seconds.
Possible Causes: 
  • Damaged turbocharger (TC) wastegate regulating valve solenoid
  • TC wastegate regulating solenoid valve stuck
  • Wastegate stuck open
  • Wastegate control hose open or plugged
  • Air leak between turbocharger and throttle
Diagnostic Aids:  Check tubing for obstructions, cracks and incorrect fitting connections.
Check the turbocharger wastegate regulating valve solenoid for correct operation.
