P2588 Severity
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.
The engine computer (PCM) controls the boost from the turbocharge using a Turbocharger Vane Position Solenoid. The PCM confirms the solenoid is working as desired by using a Turbocharger Vane Position Sensor. If the Turbocharger Vane Position Sensor fails to correctly report back to the PCM, code P2588 will be stored.
