So every now and then the check engine light on my truck comes on. It might come on once every 2-3 months or so. I had it read the first few times and it was always the same code. I forgot the number, but it is the one saying the turbo is producing too much boost. It has always come on while I was driving on the freeway at 70+.
So far Its come on maybe 3-4 times in the past year and every time I've opened the air box taken out the filter (Which always looks fine) put the filter back in and then the light goes off.
Obviously something isn't quite right with my turbo/air system as the same code has been thrown 3 or 4 times now. But at the same time taking out and placing back in the same air filter turns the light off and so far its always taken a month or two to come back on.
Any ideas on what could be causing something like this and what I might be able to do to take care of it. My only guess is put in a new air filter as maybe it is letting to much air get in. I don't recall what brand filter is in the truck right now. But I've used them before (Always get the same one from the same place) without issues, maybe this one is defective? It has no visible damage or dirt on it.
