| Diagnostic Trouble Codes for Low Intake Manifold Air Pressure | ||
| J1939 Code | Description | Notes |
| 1127-18 | Engine Turbocharger 1 Boost Pressure : Low - moderate severity (2) | The Electronic Control Module (ECM) detects the following conditions: The actual intake manifold air pressure is less than the desired intake manifold air pressure for at least 10 seconds. The difference between the two values depends on engine operating conditions. The engine speed is between 1000 rpm and 2300 rpm. The engine coolant temperature is greater than There are no active 102 diagnostic codes for the intake manifold air pressure sensor. There is no other active engine derates. If equipped, the warning lamp will flash. The engine will be derated. The fault will be cleared when the intake manifold air pressure is within the acceptable range for at least 11 minutes. |
- Intake air filter
- Air intake system

| Troubleshooting Test Steps | Values | Results |
|---|---|---|
1. Intake Air Filter A. Check the air filter restriction indicator, if equipped. B. Ensure that the air filter is clean and serviceable. |
Air filter |
Result: The air filter is blocked. Repair: Replace the air filter element. Refer to the Operation and Maintenance Manual, "Engine Air Cleaner Element - Replace". Result: The air filter is OK. Proceed to Test Step 2. |
2. Air Intake System A. Check the air intake system for the following defects: · Blockages · Restrictions · Damage to the air intake ducts and hoses · Loose connections and air leaks |
Air intake |
Result: The air intake system is blocked, restricted, damaged, or loose. Repair: Make all necessary repairs to the air intake system. Result: The air intake system is OK. Proceed to Test Step 3. |
3. Wastegate Regulator A. Use the electronic service tool to check for diagnostic trouble codes that relate to the wastegate regulator. |
Wastegate regulator |
Result: Diagnostic codes are present that relate to the wastegate regulator. Repair: Rectify the cause of any related codes. Refer to Troubleshooting, "Diagnostic Trouble Codes". Result: There are no diagnostic codes that relate to the wastegate regulator. Proceed to Test Step 4. |
4. Turbocharger Note: The turbocharger that is installed on the engine is a nonserviceable item. If any mechanical fault exists, then the turbocharger must be replaced. A. Check that the compressor housings for the turbochargers are free of dirt and debris. B. Check that the turbine housings for the turbochargers are free of dirt and debris. C. Check that the turbine blades rotate freely in the turbochargers. |
Turbocharger |
Result: There is a fault with the turbocharger. Repair: Replace the turbocharger. Refer to Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Remove" and Disassembly and Assembly, "Turbocharger - Install". Result: The turbocharger is OK. Contact the Dealer Solution Network (DSN). |
