DTC P1188: Throttle Inlet Pressure ( TIP ) Sensor performance

This is monitored during the engine turbocharger boost and non-boost modes. In non-boost mode DTC will set when PCM detects a significant difference between TIP sensor signal and BARO pressure signal. In boost mode the DTC will set when the TIP sensor is unable to read correct boost level.

Test the sensor and check the tubes that connect it to the air intake and turbo.
