FMI 3Boost pressure sensor — short to positive (5 V or battery voltage). Repair: Check the sensor and the wiring (J 1/27, J 1/35, J 1/36). Check the sensor and the engine wiring (A 3, A 19, A 34). Check the sensors (X1B/11). Run the diagnostic check of the tachograph unit. Check the programming. Switch the ignition off, switch it on again and repeat the test. If the fault persists, replace the control unit.

Can I keep driving

Safe to drive. Below — how much time you have and what happens if you keep going.

What happens if you keep driving

Time you have: Enough to reach the yard

Boost is not reaching its target: turbo, intercooler or intake. The engine compensates with mixture and runs hotter than usual.

You will lose pull, burn more fuel and add overheating on long climbs. If you hear a whine or a whistle from the turbo, stop — the wheel is breaking up.

This is an electrical fault: an open, a short or a bad contact in the sensor circuit. The value it measures is most likely fine. You can drive. But until the circuit is repaired this system runs blind and cannot warn you about a real failure.

That said, the manufacturer flags this code as critical — if in doubt, it is safer to stop and check on the spot.

What to check on the spot

Inspect the air filter and charge-air hoses: leaks and cracks produce exactly these codes.

Which codes follow

If the value really did go out of range, rather than a sensor circuit being broken, these normally light up after it:

They are not fixed separately — they go out together with this one. The list is deliberately short: only the links the reference is sure about.

Nearby: intake / boost

Scanner threw several codes at once? Paste the whole list — we will show which one is the root cause and which ones simply followed.
