Typical Turbocharger With Integrated Wastegate And Integrated Bypass Valve

Turbocharger Boost Pressure (TCBP) Sensor

The TCBP sensor is located in the intake air tube between the turbocharger and the charge air cooler (CAC). The TCBP sensor measures the throttle inlet pressure. The PCM uses the information from the TCBP sensor to refine the estimate of the airflow rate through the throttle and to determine the desired boost pressure. The TCBP sensor may be integrated with a charge air cooler temperature (CACT) sensor.

Turbocharger Bypass Valve

The turbocharger bypass valve prevents back flow through the turbocharger when the throttle is rapidly closed to avoid undesirable noise. The high pressure downstream of the turbocharger is vented back to the intake air upstream when the turbocharger bypass valve is open reducing pressure in the system.

There are three types of turbocharger bypass valves currently in use.

The first type of turbocharger bypass valve is solenoid controlled and located between the turbocharger intake and the turbocharger boost pressure output to the charge air cooler (CAC).
