P0237 Code: Turbocharger Boost Sensor A Circuit Low Input
🟠 Moderate severity · drivable
Drivable, but the boost reading is too low, so the car may feel slow — fix it soon.
What P0237 means
The boost pressure sensor A is sending voltage that's too low, which the computer reads as little or no boost. This can be a bad sensor, a leaking hose, or a real boost leak in the intake system.
Symptoms
- Check engine light is on
- Loss of power
- Turbo not building boost
- Poor acceleration
Common causes
- most common: Faulty boost pressure sensor
- common: Leaking or disconnected hose to the sensor
- common: Boost or vacuum leak in the intake system
- less common: Wiring shorted to ground in the sensor circuit
How to fix it
| Fix | DIY? | Typical cost |
|---|---|---|
| Replace the boost pressure sensor | Yes | $50–150 |
| Inspect and replace the sensor hose | Yes | $10–50 |
| Repair boost or vacuum leaks | Mechanic | $50–200 |
