Brake Booster Pressure Sensor Circuit High

33 brands affected · Generic SAE J2012 description.

Key terms: Boost pressure: extra air pressure made by a turbo or supercharger · SAE J2012: the standard generic code list · Powertrain: engine, transmission and emissions

Safety: This code relates to the braking system or brake assist. Braking may be affected.

1What it means in plain English

This range covers vehicle speed, idle and oil-pressure control, charging-system voltage, and brake-switch circuits.

2Common causes

  1. Carbon build-up in the throttle body
  2. Faulty idle air control valve
  3. Faulty vehicle speed sensor
  4. Faulty charging system or weak battery
  5. Wiring or connector fault

3Can I drive?

Serious · drive with care

Have it checked immediately: brakes or brake assistance may be affected. Do not drive if the pedal feels soft or hard, the car pulls when braking, or the brake warning light is on.

This page gives general information. It is not professional advice. For a definite diagnosis and a repair quote, ask a qualified mechanic to inspect the car.
