P0243 FORD Description
The Powertrain Control Module (PCM) monitors the Supercharger (Boost) Bypass (SCB) Solenoid circuit for an electrical failure. The test fails when the signal moves outside the minimum or maximum allowable calibrated parameters for a specified Supercharger Bypass Solenoid duty cycle (100% or 0%) by PCM command. The Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) will set when the Powertrain Control Module has detected a signal outside parameters on the wastegate solenoid circuit.
