P012C OBD-II: Turbocharger/Supercharger Inlet Pressure Sensor Circuit Low

P012C Severity

Moderate

Will P012C 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.

What causes OBD-II fault code P012C?

The Turbo/Supercharger inlet pressure sensor tells the engine control module (PCM) how much air is being forced into the engine When the PCM detects an incorrect signal from this sensor, it will set code P012C.This may send the vehicle into "limp home mode", limiting the amount of power out of the engine, to protect other components from being damaged.
