P0047 OBD-II: Turbocharger/Supercharger Boost Control "A" Circuit Low

P0047 Severity

Moderate

Will P0047 go away on its own?

Once the vehicle's onboard system no longer detects the issue, most codes will disappear on their own. If your vehicle still has this code, however, it should be properly diagnosed to avoid a more serious problem.

For a proper diagnosis, RepairPal Certified shops have the equipment, tools, and expertise.

Moderate severity codes might not threaten the vehicle's safety or functionality immediately, but you should still get it diagnosed within a reasonable time frame to keep your car running well.

Schedule Diagnosis

What causes OBD-II fault code P0047?

The engine computer (PCM) uses a Vane Control Solenoid (also referred to as a boost control solenoid) to control the amount of boost from the Turbocharger. If the Vane Control Solenoid does not operate as commanded, code P0047 will set.
