P024D: Charge Air Cooler Bypass Position Sensor A Circuit Range/Performance — what it means, the affected system and what to check before replacing parts.
Meaning, symptoms, causes and checks
Charge-air-cooler bypass position sensor A reports a range or performance plausibility error. This concerns feedback measurement, not proof that the bypass is mechanically seized. The position-to-voltage relation and available scan parameters depend on the installed vehicle system.
Affected system: charge-air-cooler bypass position feedback
Symptoms
- Warning light may illuminate
- Related system function may be impaired
- Vehicle-specific symptoms vary
Possible causes
- Implausible sensor or switch signal, poor ground, connector corrosion, or wiring damage
- Related wiring, connector, power or ground fault
- Vehicle-specific mechanical or control issue
What to check
- Record stored and pending codes and freeze-frame data
- Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
- Confirm measured values against the vehicle service information
- Retest under the conditions that set the code
- Compare the named sensor or switch signal with actual operating conditions; inspect the connector, reference supply, ground and harness.
- Repair the verified cause and confirm the code does not return
Also written as: P024D-00, P024D00, PO24D (some scan tools add the fault-type byte, e.g. -00).
