DTC No. | Detection Item | DTC Detection Condition | Trouble Area | MIL | Note |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
P012A15 | Turbocharger/Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor "A" Circuit High Circuit Short to Battery or Open | The output voltage from the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly is higher than 4.9 V for 3 seconds or more (1 trip detection logic). |
| - | SAE: P012D |
HINT:
When a DTC is output, check the Data List item "Turbocharger/Supercharger Inlet Pressure Bank1" using the GTS.

DTC No. | Turbocharger/Supercharger Inlet Pressure Bank1 | Malfunction |
---|---|---|
P012A15 | 120 kPa [17.4 psi] or higher |
|
If the Data List displays a normal value, the normal value may be due to a temporary recovery from the malfunction condition. Check for intermittent problems.
MONITOR DESCRIPTION
The ECM calculates the air inlet duct internal pressure from the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly output voltage. If the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly output voltage is not within the normal range, there may be a malfunction in the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly or an open or short circuit. In this case, the ECM stores a DTC.
Example:
When the sensor output voltage is higher than 4.9 V for 3 seconds or more, the ECM stores a DTC.

CAUTION / NOTICE / HINT
HINT:
Read Freeze Frame Data using the GTS. The ECM records vehicle and driving condition information as Freeze Frame Data the moment a DTC is stored. When troubleshooting, Freeze Frame Data can help determine if the vehicle was moving or stationary, if the engine was warmed up or not, if the air fuel ratio was lean or rich, and other data from the time the malfunction occurred.
PROCEDURE
1. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR |
HINT:
Make sure that the connector is properly connected. If it is not, securely connect it and check for DTCs again.
(a) Disconnect the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly connector.
(b) Turn the ignition switch to ON.
(c) Measure the voltage according to the value(s) in the table below. Standard Voltage:
|
|
(d) Turn the ignition switch off and wait for at least 30 seconds.
(e) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
D93-3(VC) - D93-2(PIC) | Ignition switch off | 171 to 189 kΩ |
D93-1(E2) - Body ground | Always | Below 1 Ω |
OK | REPLACE E.F.I. VACUUM SENSOR ASSEMBLY |
|
2. | CHECK HARNESS AND CONNECTOR (E.F.I. VACUUM SENSOR ASSEMBLY - ECM) |
(a) Disconnect the E.F.I. vacuum sensor assembly connector.
(b) Disconnect the ECM connector.
(c) Measure the resistance according to the value(s) in the table below.
Standard Resistance:
Tester Connection | Condition | Specified Condition |
---|---|---|
D93-2(PIC) - D104-105(PIC) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
D93-1(E2) - D104-81(EPIC) | Always | Below 1 Ω |
D93-2(PIC) or D104-105(PIC) - Other terminals | Always | 10 kΩ or higher |
OK | REPLACE ECM |
NG | REPAIR OR REPLACE HARNESS OR CONNECTOR |
WARNING
Never allow a person to ride in the luggage compartment/trunk
Allowing a person to ride in the luggage compartment/trunk is dangerous. The person in the luggage compartment/trunk could be seriously injured or killed during sudden braking or a collision.
Do not drive with the liftgate/trunk lid open
