P0250 OBD-II: Turbocharger/Supercharger Wastegate Solenoid "B" High
P0250 Severity
Will P0250 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 P0250?
The Wastegate solenoid allows unneeded boost generated by the turbo or supercharger to vent the system. The engine control module (PCM) controls the wastegate solenoid. If the PCM cannot control the solenoid, it will set code P0250.The PCM may also disable the turbo or supercharger to prevent further damage to the system.
