    What Does P0299 Mean?

    The P0299 code indicates that the Turbo or Supercharger "A" has excessively low output. The ECU looks for a specific range of boost and when the low boost is detected by the ECU, it sets a P0299 code.
    This code will illuminate a Check Engine Light on the dashboard and may put the vehicle in limp mode. The limp mode is to prevent further damage to the vehicle and will remain until the code is cleared or repaired.

    What are the common causes of P0299 ?

    The most common causes include an obstructed or faulty turbocharger or supercharger, an air restriction or leak, a faulty boost pressure sensor, or a faulty wastegate regulator bypass valve. There are also various motors, actuator arms, diaphragms, and doors that can fail. The boost pressure release valves are often replaced with high-performance adjustable aftermarket valves. This is done to obtain greater turbocharger boost pressure and more power, however the reduced boost readings may cause a P0299 to be stored and a malfunction indicator lamp to be illuminated.

    How do you troubleshoot P0299 ?

    While fuel economy was increased, acceleration was seriously compromised, and the loss of engine vacuum led to a dangerous loss of braking assist when the P0299 code system was in four-cylinder mode. In addition to these issues, while the company proposed a hydraulically controlled system that could be switched from within the car, the version they implemented had to be manually changed in the engine compartment using hand tools.
