Turbocharger outlet pressure sensor B is a second pressure sensor at a compressor outlet – for example one per turbo on twin-turbo engines or a second measuring point; sensor A has the codes P00F8–P00FC. It is a separate family from the boost pressure sensor: GM and Ford report the pressure ahead of the throttle under the boost sensor codes P0236–P0238. No manufacturer using the sensor B codes was found; FCA documents sensor A and a second outlet sensor. P01FD means the signal voltage stays above its upper limit – typically an open signal or sensor ground (the input is pulled up) or a short to voltage. For comparison, GM sets its boost sensor high code above 86 % of 5 V, Ford above 4.88 V.

Likely causes

Sensor ground or signal wire open
Signal shorted to 5 V or battery voltage
Sensor faulty

Symptoms

  • Check engine light on
  • Loss of power, boost limited
  • Limp mode possible
