This codes means one of two things; first is the sensor could just be bad and the second is you could have a bad connection. Check out the connector of the sensor first to see what kind of shape it is in.

There is a list on all the sensor in the diagram (below).

Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Cheers, Ken

It is number 15 in the image integrated into the boost sensor. Click on the image so it will enlarge.
